Mr. Minh is lonely and chivalrous

At the age of 60, the age where he could rest and could use the money he earned to live through the day, Mr. Nguyen Van Minh (SN 1962) chose to move around, saving every penny to help those in need. towel.

The car has a flat tire, a tire blows out, runs out of gas or happens to be robbed late at night, residents and students of the Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City, as a habit, will call for Mr. Minh’s help.

Minh “lonely” is the name people give him, now it has become a brand, an identity point of his own.

Talking about this name, he said: “Because I have no wife, no children, no house, I’m alone all day, so people call me that.” Even the year of his birth, Mr. Minh is only approximate, not certain.

Mr. Minh’s car is lonely

Mr. Minh chose a corner of the National Defense crossroads, which many people also call the Ho Da crossroads (Binh Duong) as a place of “practicing”. His tools are not many, just pump pipes, inner tubes, tires and a tricycle donated by sponsors.

Students and poor laborers come to patch the shell, pump the cake, change the intestines, and even fill up with gasoline, and Mr. Minh does not take money.

Mr. Minh confided, students do not have much money, he helps the shell, the intestine helps, consider sharing some of the difficulty. Whoever called him to deliver the goods, he also went. The 60-year-old driver does not have a specific “price list”, who wants to pay as much as they want.

Minh “lonely” also had a famous time as Minh “knight”, supporting functional forces to ensure security in the area. The street was dark and deserted at night. There were many robberies and robberies, so Mr. Minh often went on “patrol”.

Many nights when he was sleeping, people in danger called, he also rushed to help. Because of that, Mr. Minh was injured a lot, his right arm lost a tendon and often hurt.

In early 2020, he was trapped by bad guys, fortunately escaped death, but his car and house were burned down. At the end of the year, Mr. Minh had his three-wheeler stolen again.

Yet, at a corner of the National Defense crossroads, the “lonely” Minh was always there and never thought of stopping giving.

Wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly for others

In the past, he lived in a small hut in a deserted place, which was temporarily erected with 4 canvases to cover the rain and sun. When the epidemic raged, Mr. Minh collapsed this hut and moved to sleep at work because no one was watching his belongings.

This new “house” was an abandoned guard room, built of iron, and also devoid of any valuable furniture. After 24 years of wandering in the University Village, he has not been able to have a solid and stable house for himself.

When asked why he didn’t accept money to change the tube or the inside of the car to make a temporary living, he confided: “Many times when I repair cars for customers, the guts of the car are too expensive, I don’t even dare to ask people to pay. I’m afraid people will say that this guy fixes his car for free but cheats money. So I give it away for free…”.

Just like that, Mr. Minh put his own money, sometimes even had to borrow from acquaintances, to buy each tire and tube back home. At the time when gasoline prices were high, Mr. Minh also stocked up on gasoline for students.

He said that at least 1 car must be poured twenty thousand, every day he gives such free gasoline to about 3-4 people.

Mr. Minh and the students

“Now I take the Honda car as a mortgage, to get that money to pay the debt and then buy more tools. Taking the car for a pawn, I am also confused, sometimes even thinking that I don’t know what I’m doing it for. “, he shared about the current situation.

The old motorbike is no longer available, he also temporarily stopped working as a motorbike taxi driver. Mr. Minh “lonely” now only accompanies the three-wheeler, carrying goods and commuting. One day, he had to transport goods from Binh Duong to District 7 but only received… 200 thousand.

Mr. Minh confided: “At that time, I carried goods without calculation, who gave me as much, I took as much, depending on the person who hired me. I met so many people, at that time I just felt sad. That’s life. this person that person…”.

Although the name is “lonely” Minh, he has never lived a life like that name, because around him there has never been a lack of love and sharing with everyone.
