The Legend of the Village Guardian
Aug 10, 2025
In the fertile delta region of northern Vietnam, where rice paddies stretch like emerald mirrors toward distant mountains, there once stood a prosperous village called Làng Bình An. The village was known throughout the region for its abundant harvests, peaceful community, and the wise leadership of its elder, Ông Tuấn.
Tuấn had devoted his entire life to serving his village. As a young man, he had organized the construction of dikes to protect against floods. In middle age, he had established schools for the children and markets for the farmers. Now, in his seventies, he continued to mediate disputes, offer counsel to troubled families, and ensure that no one in the village went hungry or homeless.
