2 years of Covid-19 pandemic in Ho Chi Minh City
“Memories of my wife and daughter keep flooding back, like it happened yesterday.”
In the space of a week, Binh Phan lost two of the most important people in his life.
There were no goodbyes.
Binh and his wife were separated and quarantined in hospital when they both tested positive to COVID and their two adult children with disabilities were left at home to care for one another.
When Binh got out, he found out his wife and daughter had died.
His son, Thien Vu, had been left in the house with his sister’s body for days before it could be taken by the army for cremation.
Surrounded by the memory of his former life, Binh is trying to focus on the time he has left with his son.
