Unexpected Event on New Year’s Eve
According to Ms. H., the incident began when her daughter, who had just returned from studying abroad, accidentally left a bag containing valuable jewelry in the trash while cleaning the house to prepare for Tet. Among the items was a diamond ring estimated to be worth over 1 billion Vietnamese Dong.
Trash from the Nguyen Huu Tho area (Cam Le District) was collected and transported to the recycling station at Le Thanh Nhi Street (Hai Chau District). Upon realizing the loss, Ms. H. quickly contacted the environmental company for assistance. She followed the garbage truck to the Khanh Son landfill (Lien Chieu District) and requested that a specific area be set aside to facilitate the search.
Urgent Search Process
Recognizing the importance of the situation, the workers at the environmental company immediately initiated support efforts. They faced a massive amount of trash and time pressure as only a few hours remained before the new year. Under the dim lights of the landfill, the workers diligently sifted through layers of waste.
As the New Year approached, joy unexpectedly arrived when all the jewelry, including the precious diamond ring, was found. Without hesitation, the team of workers returned the entire collection to Ms. H. with deep gratitude and emotion.
The Significance of the Story
The noble actions of these workers not only demonstrate a sense of responsibility but also serve as a clear testament to traditional Vietnamese values—“harmony brings prosperity.” This is a shining example of dedication and honesty, worthy of being widely recognized in the community.
This story goes beyond the recovery of valuable assets; it also conveys a positive message about kindness, especially during Tet—the time when people come together to embrace good values in life.
Conclusion
The act of Da Nang’s environmental workers returning valuable property to a citizen on New Year’s Eve is praiseworthy. It reminds us that, regardless of circumstances, honesty and responsibility should always be cherished and promoted. Share this story to spread goodness in society!
