I felt the pride and happiness of old gentlemen and old ladies in Triem Tay village when they told me about old stories. I also caught innocent smiles, warm look and children with Quang Nam voice "hế lô, hế lô" greeting international tourists with a friendly wave when I walked around the village.
I was really surprised to realize that eighty five-year-old man Nguyen Viet Can is always present all meetings, training classes, surveys held in Triem Tay village. He said: "there are only I and my wife in my family, all my children and grandchildren live in Hoi An", I asked:"What do you think about doing tourism at the village", "It is good thing, the village is still our the but life is better. I hope everything is improved by leaps and bounds in order to my children and grandchildren will come back to the village..." he answered.
I also admire Ms. Duong Thi Khanh 23 years old, has just graduated from banking and finance department of Danang architecture university when I talked with her. She is joining the core group implementing in the project of Triem Tay community tourism. She said that her parent have two children are in college, family life is hard, she want to find a stable job to help the family. However, with opportunities and challenge of the village, Khanh hope she devote her youth and enthusiasm to build the native land more and more beautiful!
