However, the huge interaction on the Facebook pages of Hoa Lo Prison relic site and of a 26-year-old video editor has proven a completely different fact, that is many young people do not turn away from history, but are naturally and effectively spreading their passion for and discovery of the core values from different periods in the nation's history among people of their generations.

A Vietnamese eleventh grader has completed creating an electric vehicle that has basic parts of an ordinary car and can carry two people at the maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour. The 400-kilogram automobile, which harks back to the vintage Volkswagen Beetle design, was made by Ngo Viet Cuong, a student at Tong Van Tran High School in Nam Dinh Province, near Hanoi. Cuong has been interested in playing with engines and mechanical equipment since he was a little kid.

As a new university graduate who wants to own a business and create jobs for young workers, Nguyen Van Tien, residing in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City, chose to start his business by collecting waste. When he was a student of the Saigon Technology University, Tien set his career plan of running a company instead of being in someone’s employment. He started his recyclable waste collection business in 2012. When collecting recyclable waste for local children’s small social plans, Tien thought that those materials could be reused and it was wasteful to get rid of them. The saying 'one man’s trash is another man’s treasure' inspired him to collect recyclable waste and establish a company operating in scrap management and recycling. Every day, Nguyen Van Tien rolls up his sleeves to directly involve himself in the waste collection. His employees collect recyclable waste at locations as agreed, including trade centers, convenience stores, and schools. Waste will … [Read more...] about Young Vietnamese starts business collecting waste
