One month after the tragic flash flood in Lang Nu village, Phuc Khanh commune (Bao Yen), up to now, there are still 7 bodies lying under deep mud, leaving lingering pain for many people.

Many people here lost all their loved ones, their entire homes and their entire life's assets overnight. However, the people here have gradually overcome the pain and returned to their daily lives.

In mid-October, the people of Lang Nu Village resumed their normal activities after the devastating storm and flood. Despite having to face the loss of their homes and fields, the people here still patiently waited for the day they could return to their solid homes.

While waiting for the resettlement area to be completed, the people of Lang Nu are temporarily residing in arranged houses. In this small space, many households with similar circumstances have lived together, forming a close-knit community. Daily activities are gradually returning to normal, people encourage and support each other in cooking, especially with young children.

In Lang Nu, clean vegetable beds have begun to grow on land that once suffered much pain. Green vegetables not only provide food but also bring hope to souls still haunted by loss.

Mr. Hoang Van Vo, one of the villagers who lost his family and home, shared: "It has been more than a month since my wife and children passed away due to the flash flood. The pain has not yet subsided, but I have to put it aside to live a better life for the remaining people." Mr. Vo also said that the villagers helped each other in arranging funerals for the deceased.

At the temporary shelter, Nguyen Van Tuan - who lost his home, parents and a child after the flood - said that the process of rebuilding his life would be very difficult, but he was determined to become a support for his remaining relatives. "I survived the terrible flood and have been out of the hospital for more than 2 weeks. My family will continue farming to stabilize our lives soon," said Tuan.

Mr. Hoang Ngoc Xu, Secretary of Lang Nu village, shared: "The lives of the villagers have stabilized. They have temporary shelters and children have returned to school." Mr. Xu emphasized that the local government always encourages and shares the pain of the villagers to help them overcome difficulties.

The temporary shelter has been completed, providing shelter for those who lost their homes. The resettlement area is currently under construction, with plans to build the first house in the next few days."
