(PLO)- The kindness of strangers is always present, everywhere.
Around 8 am this morning, January 27 (the 6th of the Lunar New Year, 2023), a woman nearly 40 years old slowly pushed an old motorcycle with a broken cake on the section of Vo Tran Chi street, passing through hamlet 6, Tan Nhut commune, Binh Chanh district, HCMC.
The sun was rising, shining its rays on her worried face. Looking around, the woman sighed because there was no sign of the auto repair shop. She continued to push the motorcycle, occasionally wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead.

Suddenly, a man regarding 55 years old wearing a yellow shirt with the words “Saigon Traffic Construction Joint Stock Company” came running from afar. Seeing the woman’s car broken, the man offered to help.
The woman’s eyes were filled with joy. After her nod, the man took the tool he brought with him and quickly removed the tires to check the intestines. The man sighed, saying that the inside of the car was too old and had many patches, so it had to be replaced. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a new car,” said the man, sounding unhappy.
The woman sighed, asking the man to help buy a new car body. The man looked around and said: “This place is empty, there is no place to sell car parts”.
At this moment, a man regarding 55 years old who ran grab stopped. After learning regarding the incident, he ran grab open the bag and took out a new car. “Give it to my sister, consider it as a New Year’s gift.”
The woman thanked, but offered to return the car’s cost, otherwise she would not accept it. For that, he ran grab to receive 60,000 coins from the woman’s car.
The man in the yellow shirt quickly changed the intestines and inflated them. The woman asked for the salary, the man in the yellow shirt waved his hand and said: “What is the merit here? It’s just a small thing to help change the inside of the car in the middle of the road.”
The woman thanked, got in the car and started the engine to continue the journey. The two men watched, smiling. Looking at the nameplate of the man in the yellow shirt, we saw the words “Luu Quoc Cuong”.
The kindness of strangers is always present, anytime, anywhere.
