A video of two white cars coordinating to escort a motorbike across an overpass in Liễu Giai Ward, Hà Nội during the storm has been widely shared and received millions of interactions on social media over the weekend.
The footage shows a motorcyclist struggling against strong winds during the typhoon.
Fortunately, two car drivers worked together to create a safe passage by driving parallel to each other and shielding the bike from the wind.
Many social media users expressed their emotions about the spirit and kindness of Vietnamese people after watching the clip.
Ánh Dương, a social media user, commented: “I am crying when I watch the clip. My country has a lot of kind hearts.”
Diệu Hà, another social medial user, said: “This is my Việt Nam, this is the unity of Vietnamese people. I am very proud to be Vietnamese.”
A lot of foreigners also commented on the clip, including the following: “Not all heroes wear capes,” “That is incredible human action,” “Thank you Việt Nam for showing this to the world,” and “I was amazed by the unity of Việt Nam.”
Another video showed a convoy of cars and larger vehicles guiding a group of motorbikes across a bridge, when torrential rains and very strong winds battered Hà Nội.
Dương Nhường, a 29-year-old, was one of those assisted while riding across the bridge.
She recounted that around Saturday noon, she was returning home from work when she encountered strong winds that made it impossible to continue.
“Fortunately, a kind-hearted environmental truck driver slowed down to shield me from the wind,” she said.
Then other cars and trucks followed the first to protect Nhường and other motorbikes, shielding them from strong winds and preventing them from being blown away.
Afterwards, Nhường shared her experience on social media, noting the truck driver’s number plate to express her sincere thanks.
In Hải Phòng City, Lã Xuân Phương, a resident living in a tall building, said that at around 3pm on Saturday he saw a woman struggling to move her motorbike along Hùng Vương Street due to the fierce wind.
The woman had to leave her bike and cling to a traffic divider, fearing the wind would carry her away.
As the rain poured, the woman waited for help.
About 15 minutes later, a white car zipped past but then suddenly reversed.
The driver offered her a ride to shield her from the storm.
Phương then captured the act on his phone and shared it online, which resonated deeply with the community.
He expressed admiration for the driver’s bravery, noting that keeping the car door open in such weather could have been hazardous.
