Chuyển động 24h | 25/01: Cuộc “di cư” của đào Nhật Tân: Người nông dân làm giàu trên vùng đất mới

Key Concepts

• Đào Nhật Tân (Nhật Tân Peach Blossoms): A specific variety of peach blossom highly valued for Tết (Lunar New Year) celebrations, known for its beauty and quality. Its cultivation has "migrated" to new areas like Ô Diên.
• Phòng cháy chữa cháy (Fire Prevention and Control): Measures taken to prevent and extinguish fires, particularly important in crowded religious sites during Tết.
• Vàng mã (Votive Paper): Paper offerings burned during religious ceremonies, a significant fire hazard in temples and pagodas.
• Du lịch xanh (Green Tourism): Sustainable tourism practices focused on environmental preservation and cultural sensitivity.
• Nông nghiệp bền vững (Sustainable Agriculture): Farming practices that prioritize long-term ecological health and resource conservation.
• Tấm lòng vàng (Golden Heart): A metaphor for compassion and charitable acts, exemplified by the police officers supporting orphaned children.
• Bàng quang tăng hoạt (Overactive Bladder - OAB): A medical condition causing frequent and urgent urination.

Tết Preparations and the Peach Blossom Migration

The program begins with a discussion of the approaching Tết holiday and the symbolic importance of peach blossoms (đào). The program highlights that for those involved in preparing for Tết, the festive spirit has already begun. The segment then transitions to the "migration" of đào Nhật Tân, a prized peach blossom variety, from its traditional growing area to new locations like the Ô Diên commune in Hanoi. This migration is driven by farmers seeking better conditions and market opportunities.

Anh Quyết, a farmer, exemplifies this trend. He faced initial skepticism and hardship when he first attempted to cultivate đào Nhật Tân in Ô Diên 20 years ago. He endured crop failures, financial difficulties (including losing an entire field to flooding), and social stigma. However, his persistence and love for the trees ( “người ta yêu cái cây đào như thế, người ta nâng niu nó”) eventually led to success. He now earns between 700-800 million đồng per harvest. His story demonstrates the importance of resilience, innovation, and passion in agriculture. He emphasizes that success requires not only hard work but also continuous learning and adaptation. He notes the importance of understanding the trees, even to the point of "knowing when the tree is tired."

Fire Safety Concerns at Religious Sites

The program then shifts focus to the increased risk of fire at temples and pagodas during Tết due to the large number of visitors and the extensive use of votive paper (vàng mã) and incense. The Đền Bà Chúa Kho (Bà Chúa Kho Temple) in Bắc Ninh is presented as a case study. The temple's small size and crowded conditions, combined with flammable materials, create a dangerous environment. Authorities are implementing measures such as regulating the burning of votive paper and providing fire extinguishers. However, enforcing these regulations is challenging due to the sheer volume of visitors and the deeply ingrained cultural practice of offering incense. The program highlights the need for both preventative measures and a heightened awareness of fire safety among visitors. The importance of training temple staff, many of whom are elderly, in fire safety procedures is also emphasized. A key point is the distinction between different types of fire extinguishers (powder vs. gas).

Sustainable Tourism in Đa Phúc

The segment then explores a different approach to tourism in the Đa Phúc commune, Hanoi. Instead of mass tourism, Đa Phúc is developing "green tourism" (du lịch xanh) focused on preserving the environment, local culture, and agricultural traditions. The River Camping project exemplifies this approach, offering activities like farming, kayaking, and camping in a natural setting. The emphasis is on creating a sustainable model where the local community benefits directly from tourism while protecting its heritage. The program stresses the importance of responsible tourism practices, such as minimizing waste and respecting the environment. The goal is to offer a unique experience that connects visitors with nature and local life.

The Allure of Gold and a Golden Heart

The program then transitions to a report on a gold rush in Victoria, Australia, fueled by rising gold prices. Despite the challenges, people are drawn to the prospect of finding gold, with some even taking courses to learn the techniques. The story of Kelly Smith, a former chef who now enjoys gold prospecting, illustrates the appeal of this lifestyle. She finds joy in the community and the connection with nature, even more than the gold itself. The program notes that obtaining a gold prospecting license in Victoria is relatively inexpensive (28.6 Australian dollars).

The segment then shifts to a heartwarming story of compassion and support. Officers from the Thanh Hóa Provincial Police’s Investigative Security Department and members of the Provincial Women's Union are providing support to over 70 orphaned children. Trung tá Lê Thị Hồng Hạnh, a police officer, is a key figure in this effort, providing both financial assistance and emotional support to the children. The program emphasizes that helping others doesn't require wealth, but rather a compassionate heart (“không cần rất nhiều tiền mới làm được việc tốt”). The story highlights the positive impact of these acts of kindness on the lives of vulnerable children.

Conclusion

The program concludes by emphasizing the importance of love, perseverance, and innovation in both agriculture and life. The stories presented – from the peach blossom farmer to the gold prospector to the police officers supporting orphans – all demonstrate the power of dedication and compassion. The final segment returns to the theme of Tết, encouraging viewers to appreciate the hard work and dedication of farmers when enjoying the holiday’s traditions. The program ends with a call to remember the hands and hearts behind the Tết symbols, like peach blossoms and grapefruit, and to value the lessons of love and perseverance.
