  In the coastal village of Thuan An, where the mighty Perfume River meets the South China Sea, there lived a humble fisherman named Duc Hai. He was known throughout the village not for great catches or wealth, but for his generous heart and unwavering courage in the face of any storm.

  Duc Hai lived in a simple bamboo house with his elderly mother and younger sister, supporting them through his daily fishing in the turbulent waters where river and sea converged. The villagers respected him deeply, for he had saved many lives during typhoons and had never returned from the sea without sharing his catch with families in need.

  In the heart of the Red River Delta, where fertile rice paddies stretch toward distant mountains and water buffalo wade through peaceful streams, stood the village of Dong Xuan. It was a prosperous community known throughout the region for its harmony, wisdom, and the unusual longevity of its residents.

  At the center of the village grew an enormous banyan tree, so ancient that no one could remember when it had first taken root. Its massive trunk required twenty people holding hands to encircle it, and its branches spread so wide they provided shade for the entire village square. The aerial roots that dropped from its branches had grown thick as smaller trees themselves, creating natural pillars that formed a living temple around the great trunk.

Its thick wooden walls and solid roof had weathered countless seasons, and the people of the village took great pride in this substantial building that represented their collective prosperity and security.
