Faced with the love of the online community, especially the comment that she is truly a beauty queen in the hearts of many people, Ms. Hoang Minh Diep said she was very touched by everyone's love for the people in the flood area.

"I know that everyone loves and cares for the North in general and Minh Chuan School in particular, so I say that. We took those photos just to save the memorable moments when the super typhoon passed through as well as its devastation. Cleaning up is what we should do. Not just me, but everyone works like that. There are teachers who have to be on duty, swimming from school to this side, female teachers do not have to work that hard. When people praise us like that, we feel embarrassed" - Ms. Diep shared more.

The flood left behind a scene of devastation. Tables and chairs were swept away, everything was in disarray, books, equipment, and children's toys were all broken.

After a while of cleaning, Ms. Diep saw a pack of instant noodles. She opened it and ate it raw, then a colleague took a photo with his phone. The female teacher said she did not pay attention to the photo being taken because her clothes were covered in mud. It was not until the next morning that she realized her photo was being shared widely on social media.
