Binh Duong of unique features

The cliché just came to our mind to simply describe and introduce Binh Duong briefly by its particular features which are really close and unnamely inspire the sense of friendliness of local people and land.

Binh Duong has long been known by many people for its dynamic economic development. And there is also a very strange Binh Duong that appears right in the rhythm of daily life, which is human love and sharing always promoted and ignited through humanitarian activities spreading widely from the province to the areas, hamlets and within each individual heart.

Recently, I have written about and also watched many television reports introducing the "VND-0 Market" model that is developing strongly everywhere in Binh Duong province. However, it was not until I watched episode 53 about this in the program of "I love Binh Duong" conducted by Binh Duong Newspaper that I fully understood the meaning as well as the compassionate human love in the warm sharing activity.

It is not a matter of giving or asking as people coming to this market fair are the warm and comfortable atmosphere to foster the gentle and thoughtful way of giving from the program organizer and the volunteers who help people go to the market. I have also seen the "smiles like the sunshine of autumn" making the austere faces of people in difficult circumstances at the market become brighter and brighter with crisp laughter. It seemed like a long time since they had laughed that way.

In addition to the VND-0 market fairs at the provincial level, I have also been to many places and attended many such markets at the district and commune levels. Many benefactors not only accompany at the district level, but also follow the program to the commune level and remote localities in the province with the hearts of sharing love, encouragement, and support for people still facing many difficulties to rise up. Everyone told me that the market fair is very practical and significant to be able to come to the place and give gifts to people with all the heart.

This meaningful market, as the Chairman of the provincial Red Cross once shared with me, is a place to connect and spread kindness. More or less, it depends on the heart of the givers to the receivers. During the recent COVID-19 epidemic, someone might cut a few bunches of spinach, pick a few zucchini from their backyard and send them to the market to share with those in need, but they were extremely valuable at the time.

For so long, we have been so engrossed in daily life that we have not had the opportunity to share with the more difficult lives. Coming to the VND-0 market fair that is present everywhere in Binh Duong province is to feel the love of people there. Who knows, you may become a companion and associate with people who still have many difficulties through this model in the near future. The sense of sharing and helping in our community prompted us to share with others in our own ways.

No matter how the economy develops, Binh Duong people still have a strong sense of integrity. Although the land of Binh Duong is not large, the love of Binh Duong people is uncmparable. Each activity, each rhythm of life in each place takes place at a different time, but when put together, it will be the image of a "very strange Binh Duong". It is so strange but so familiar, enough for everyone to remember and love the land and locals.
