Immediately after the natural disaster occurred, with the support of the Central Government, sponsors and benefactors, Lao Cai province quickly rebuilt the new Nu Village on Sim Hill, about 2 km from the old location.

Not only at all levels of government, but from all over the country, volunteer groups, social organizations, philanthropists, and businesses have turned to Lang Nu with all their hearts.
Hundreds of trucks carrying necessities connected to the village; many packages of cash support, necessities, and free medicine distribution to the people. It is not only a source of material support but also a drop of sympathy, a tight hand, and words of encouragement that have become a fulcrum for people to stand up after the incident and rise up in life.
Up to now, 33 houses have been donated to households in Lang Nu, 7 houses were completely lost to some households, and some households voluntarily returned them due to the loss of all their relatives. The vacant houses are being used as a place to teach and learn embroidery, some are arranged as a resting place for tourists when visiting Lang Nu.
After a year, the old village was built into a memorial area; the people's production land is being filled with colored soil to give to households to continue farming. In the new village, the lives and activities of the people have become more disciplined, the trees are lush green.
Today's holiday is not only to commemorate the deceased but also a reminder to us of the power of the spirit of solidarity. We would like to bow our condolences to the losses of our compatriots, and express our deep gratitude to the agencies, organizations, individuals, and philanthropists who have accompanied Lang Nu over the past year and in the coming time, said the leader of Phuc Khanh commune.
