In life, there are moments that move us not because of anything big, but because of the sharing and support between people. Looking at the photo capturing the moment when people and soldiers cleaned up the mud together after storm No. 3, I couldn't help but choke up. Every glance, every drop of sweat, every small but meaningful action has lit up an immortal spirit: the spirit of solidarity and mutual love of the Vietnamese people. After the storm, houses were destroyed, village roads were flooded with mud, and the lives of people in the flooded areas fell into many difficulties. But at this very moment, the image of soldiers in green shirts who were not afraid of hardship, people wading through mud regardless of hardship, working together to urgently clean up and restore their lives, has become a clear demonstration of the tradition of "the healthy leaves cover the torn leaves" of our nation. They did not distinguish between professions, ages, regardless of sun or rain - all stood shoulder to shoulder, fighting side by side, joining hands for the community. The photo is not just a moment recording the work after the disaster. It is a vivid picture of humanity, of the power of solidarity. Each person may only contribute a small part of their strength, a pair of hands, a basin of mud, but when dozens, hundreds of people act together, that strength turns into a flow of love, supporting broken lives. I feel in their eyes - despite the fatigue - determination, faith and boundless love. Those ordinary people, with hearts full of love, have been and are giving strength to their compatriots to overcome hardship. Through this photo, I love my homeland even more, and have more faith in the Vietnamese people - people who, though small, always know how to love and share. No matter how big the storm is, we will still firmly overcome it, because in the heart of every Vietnamese person there is always a fire burning - the fire of solidarity and compassion.
