"When we were climbing Fansipan, we walked through the forest for nine hours in a flash flood. The temperature was 4-7 degrees Celsius, which was too cold for us. Fortunately, we were allowed to stay in the amusement center at the top of the mountain to recover."

Support from people all over the country





When departing, they were given fruits and sweets.

"I had to reject a lot of it because I thought they should sell those things for money. We said goodbye and walked for 300 meters but were followed and given cakes and ginseng. That was touching."


"The key lay in our smiles and faith. Most of them greeted us after listening to our story. However, we could not afford to be late because our smiles could not be seen in the dark," he said with a laugh.
