Related to the stampede tragedy that kille.d more than 151 people in the Itaewon neighborhood. The capital is a busy street, complex of many entertainment services in Korea.

So, on the occasion of Halloween, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people have come here to have fun. According to some eyewitnesses, about 5-6 men jostled, then a few others fell and then the crowd crushed each other. The screams of suffocation and the call for police help caused the crowd to become chaotic.

In Vietnam, a family with a chil.d studying abroad in Korea is also very worried when from last night until now, he has not been able to contact his chil.d. Sadly, among the 19 foreigners who died as a result of the stampede incident on the evening of October 29, there was a Vietnamese named T, born in 2001, studying abroad in Korea.

On the morning of October 31, D.TT's house was hidden deep in a peaceful valley in Vinh Thuan commune. From early in the morning, many family members and neighbors were present at her house to visit and encourage her parents after receiving bad news from Korea. Sitting in the middle of the house, Mrs. D.TAN (40 years old, T.'s mother) screams and calls her daughter in despair. Neighbors said that from last night until now, this poor woman has continuously cried and fainted, making everyone choke because of being so pitiful.

According to Mrs. N., she and her husband only have T. as a chil.d. Since getting married, the couple has worked hard, so they do not dare to have many children for fear that their children will be miserable. Therefore, since the birth of DTT, the couple was determined to put all their efforts into taking care of their children.

According to Mrs. N., because she loves her children so much, her husband and her husband work all day, saving mone.y to take care of their children. Many times when they are tired, the husband and wife have conflicts and do not dare to argue because they are afraid that their children will know and be sad, unable to study, sick in a foreign land and no one to take care of.

"Every day when he is free, he calls home to ask his parents, saying he misses and loves his parents very much. I miss him so much when I listen to him. Sometimes I want to cry when I look at him, but I dare not. Last night when the incident happened, I called T. and he said he was at work, he would call back later. We heard that you have an acciden.t like this," Mrs. N. choked again.

Mr. D.VK (42 years old, T.'s father) with red eyes said that on the night of receiving news from his adopted son in Korea, he couldn't believe his ears. He told the adopted son to check and verify thoroughly.

"When his adopted son called back and said to his parents, I'm sorry, it's really T. My wife and I sounded like lightning in our ears. I couldn't believe it," said Mr. K. painfully.

Not only that, Mr. K - the father of D.TT Mr. K. said that T. recently planned to bring his wife and husband to Korea to play with the capital Seoul. "My wife and I plan to go to Korea at the en.d of November to visit our children. Poor chil.d, he said he likes to eat frog meat. I've already prepared everything. But things turned out like this." Mr. K. shared.

According to Mrs. N., she and her husband have been saving some mone.y for a long time, intending to go to Korea to visit their children and buy some furniture for them. "I'm afraid that the chil.d over there is needy, but he doesn't dare say it, so I plan to go over there to visit him and buy enough things for him. My wife and I work day and night. Oh my god, where is my chil.d now," said Mrs. N. burst into tears in the arm.s of loved ones.

T.'s mother painfully shared: "Maybe tonight or tomorrow, he will come here. After my son is taken to Tan Son Nhat airport (HCMC), his brother will pick up a car to take him home. I just hope to see you soon." In the en.d, after all, there is no greater pain than the loss of a parent who has been taking care of him since he was an egg. What both of them want the most right now is to wait and see their chil.d for the last time.
