Mr. Ben recounted that after a fishing trip at sea, when the fishing boat had just come ashore to sell seafood, he rode his motorbike home. When he arrived at Tan Ly Bridge (Phuoc Hoi Ward, Lam Dong Province), he saw a woman suddenly climbing over the railing and jumping into the Dinh River.

At this time, passersby shouted. Without hesitation, Mr. Ben plunged into the river, approaching the woman who was struggling in the midst of the rushing water.

After that, Mr. Ben pulled the victim back to the area where the boat was anchored to hold onto the anchor rope. Fishermen on nearby fishing boats helped bring both to the boat and to shore safely.

"I go to the sea so I know how to swim. At that time, I heard people screaming, looking for a life jacket but not yet, I just thought about saving people, not thinking much" - Mr. Ben shared more.
