This man is incredible
The story of the "Real Tarzan" in Vietnam refers to Ho Van Lang, a man who lived in the jungle for over 40 years with his father, Ho Van Thanh. They retreated to the wilderness in the 1970s during the Vietnam War after a bomb killed most of their family. To survive, they lived in a remote part of the Quang Ngai province, isolated from modern society.
1. Life in the Jungle
- Survival Skills: Ho Van Lang and his father adapted to life in the forest, relying on hunting, gathering, and crafting tools from natural materials. They built treehouses and wore clothes made from tree bark.
- Diet: They survived by eating forest-grown vegetables, fruits, honey, and whatever they could hunt or find, such as small animals or plants.
- Isolation: For decades, they had no contact with the outside world, unaware of technological advancements or societal changes.
2. Discovery
In 2013, locals found Ho Van Lang and his father living in the jungle. They were brought back to the village to reintegrate into modern society.
- Challenges of Reintegration: Ho Van Lang struggled to adapt to contemporary life. The use of money, modern clothing, and technology was completely foreign to him.
- Father's Condition: Ho Van Thanh had become frail and mentally detached due to years of isolation and the traumatic events of the war.
3. Fame and Legacy
Ho Van Lang became known globally as the "Vietnamese Tarzan," symbolizing resilience and adaptability. His story captivated many, as it highlighted the stark contrast between primitive living and modern civilization. Sadly, in 2021, Ho Van Lang passed away, reportedly due to health complications exacerbated by his abrupt lifestyle change after leaving the jungle.
This extraordinary story remains a testament to human survival and the enduring bond between father and son.
