A Vietnam Man, who took his surviving son into the wild, during a bomb explosion caused by the Vietnam War, is thought to have lived in solitude, in he jungle for the past 40 years?! Hit the jump for details!
Ho Van Thanh, who is now 82, had survived a bomb explosion near his house, that resulted in the deaths of his wife, and two sons, when he desperately grabbed his surviving infant child and headed to the woods. There they are believed to have built their life for the past 40 years, without reaching anyone from the “outside world” according to Vietnamese media.
“Viet Nam News, an English news service, reports locals from the Tra Xinh Commune in Tay Tra District spotted the two several days ago and alerted police, who found them in a remote patch of jungle, living in a handmade hut, lifted several feet off the forest floor”.
The father Ho Van Thanh had been sent to a hospital immediately, he appeared to be very ill. His son Ho Van Lang, 41 years old seemed to be “overwhelmed by his new surroundings”. The nephew Ho Ven Bien, who had been missing his uncle for 40 years, had expressed that his uncle: “… doesn’t understand much of what is said to him, and he doesn’t want to eat or even drink water”.
Le Van Vuong, vice chairman of Tra Xinh Commune, told DTI News, another English Vietnamese outlet:
“They still feel frightened despite being taken to an isolated area,” “People who just come to stare at them bothered them the most. They do not know how to speak the Kinh people’s language. They just know a few words of Cor ethnic minority people’s language and use body language to express themselves.”
