Commending the brave man who jumped into the river to save people

On the morning of October 26, Ky Thuong Commune People's Committee organized a meeting and awarded Certificates of Merit to Mr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc (born in 1981, residing in Tien Thuong village, Ky Thuong commune) to recognize his courageous act of rescuing a drowning person.

Previously, at about 7:17 am on October 25, when passing Rao Tro bridge, Mr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc discovered a young man about 22-23 years old, residing in Ky Lac commune, jumping off the bridge into the river and sinking into the water more than 3m deep.

Realizing that those around him did not know how to swim, Mr. Phuoc immediately jumped into the river, swimming about 30m to approach the victim. After that, he dived down to pull the victim up and bring them ashore safely.

The victim was given first aid and transferred to the hospital for treatment, and is now out of danger.

Recognizing the courageous action above, the Chairman of Ky Thuong Commune People's Committee decided to award a Certificate of Merit to Mr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc for his outstanding achievements in rescuing drowning people.

At the meeting, leaders of Ky Thuong commune praised Mr. Phuoc's courageous and responsible spirit for the community.

Sharing at the meeting, Mr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc said that when he discovered a person in distress, he only thought about rescuing people, not caring about danger to himself. According to him, helping people in distress is a responsibility and affection stemming from compassion between people.

Timely commendation of Mr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc contributes to spreading noble gestures, encouraging courage, responsibility to the community and replicating examples of good people and good deeds in social life.
