Specifically, at around 5:30 p.m. on May 25, when Mr. Pham Van Phuc was at home in Ward 1, he suddenly heard screaming on the bank of the Hieu River. Mr. Phuc immediately ran over and saw a child running and crying. When he asked, he learned that another girl had just fallen into the river.

Without a second thought, Mr. Phuc quickly approached the location and jumped in to save the child, promptly bringing him to shore. The victim later regained consciousness and was taken to the Provincial General Hospital by his family.
