The old lady walked more than 1300 km from Ho Chi Minh City to Nghe An, even if the sponsor gave money, she did not accept it

Recently, there was an old woman who accepted to walk back to her hometown, leaving Ho Chi Minh City to return to Nghe An with her own feet.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many workers to fall into difficult situations. There are many people who choose to return to their hometown to avoid the epidemic, both to reduce costs and to keep themselves safe. But not everyone can afford to travel by train, car or plane to return to their homeland.

These days, MXH has shared a lot of stories of workers far from home being supported with means to return home. However, recently there was an old woman who accepted to walk back to her hometown, leaving Ho Chi Minh City to return to Nghe An with her own feet.

Specifically, according to the information posted, the old lady named T. is from Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province. Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, the old woman decided to walk from Saigon to her hometown. According to the distance measured on the Google Maps application, the distance the woman has to travel is more than 1,300 km. If you drive continuously by car, it will take at least more than 1 day to arrive. However, he decided to go for a walk.

During the past 2 days, he walked from Saigon to his hometown, but at the end of Dong Nai province, he was kept. Despite having a negative result, according to regulations, he still could not pass the Binh Thuan checkpoint, so he had to stay here.

Seeing the old woman like this, many people around gave her money support, but she refused to accept it. At the quarantine point, the old woman burst into tears with the only desire to go home.

After the information was posted, it attracted great attention from the online community. Many people have called on sponsors to support the old woman with the means to return to her hometown. Others secretly blamed themselves for not understanding where his children and grandchildren were for letting him have such a hard time.

Not long ago, there was also a case where a family decided to cycle from Dong Nai to Nghe An. There was no money to take the train or car back home, plus strict disease prevention conditions, so the mother and daughter decided to ride a bicycle to return. On two bicycles, 4 people divided into 2 tops, the adults took the little ones on the journey back home.

Fortunately, all 4 mother and daughter were supported in time and were helped by sponsors to catch the train back home. Hopefully, the old woman will also receive timely help so that she can return home as soon as possible.

Before noon on July 19, the sun was like pouring fire in the land of Ninh Thuan. Four people on two bicycles tiredly headed towards Chung My checkpoint (Phuoc Dan town, Ninh Phuoc district). When stopping to make a medical declaration, everyone at the check-in point knew that this was a family on their way from Dong Nai to their hometown in Nghi Loc, Nghe An by bicycle.

Since 5 years ago, a few mothers, children and grandchildren have moved to Trang Bom (Dong Nai) to work as workers. For the past two years, Covid-19 has disrupted work, making it even harder to make a living. Since April, they have been unemployed.

From 0:00 on July 9, Dong Nai distanced themselves according to directive 16. It was also the night the family struggled to sleep. I don't know when the epidemic will end when I stay, but I don't have money when I go back to my hometown. In the end, they decided to cycle home.

"I carry my mother, and my sister carries her child. Because I have to carry people, I go slowly, on average, I walk 30 kilometers a day," shared Vo Thanh Binh, 28 years old. His family of four includes a 30-year-old sister, a 12-year-old sister's child and a 51-year-old mother.

Binh said, the last 10 days his family ate on the street, slept on the street. Along the way there are many people who know the situation and should help. Some people give rice, bread, fruit, some help money. Going through the quarantine checkpoints, the family was facilitated by officials. The officers at Chung My post have contributed to Binh's family one million dong as a toll, along with a lot of food and drink.

Facing the complicated situation of Covid-19, many workers have left Saigon in the past few days, and many localities are also organizing to welcome workers back to their hometown. Like Binh and his mother, no matter how arduous the way home is, many others still return, because in the midst of difficulties everyone just wants to stay in a place called home.
