Phan Thanh Mien is one of the 14 Inspiring Characters honored by VietNamNet’s readers in 2020. However, he could not be present at the campaign medal awards ceremony because he passed away after his great flood relief efforts earlier this year.
The simple house of Mien, the late chairman of Bac Trach commune, Bo Trach district, is located in a small village next to the Gianh River in Bo Trach district in Quang Binh province. Two months have elapsed since the day Mien died because of Whitmore disease contracted during the days he was exposed to the rain and floods.
