Not a movie, but a real story of Tarzan! [video]

The Dhaka Times Desk We know a lot about the character of Tarzan. Because we know everything about the Tarzan character in movie TV. But this time there is a story about a real life Tarzan.

We know that man named Tarzan grew up in the forest. Then came back to the life of the civilized world. Just like the movie story, a story like this has emerged in real life. In reality, two people named Ho Van Thanh and Ho Van Lang from Vietnam lived like Tarzan. These two have a father-son relationship.

Their story in the news media has come up in the world media. Fearing the cruelty of civilization, they lived in a deep jungle of Vietnam for 40 years. He chose the jungle as safer than the civilized world. In these 40 years, they almost forgot the behavior of civilized people!

Four decades ago, Ho Van Thanh had a happy family with 3 sons and a wife in the small village of 'Tra Khem' in Vietnam. However, Thane saw his wife and two sons die a hellish death in front of his eyes in the war that started at the time in Vietnam. Than's youngest child Lang was only 2 years old. Thana left the society with the 2-year-old child and went to the barren forest. He never thought of coming back.

About the year 2013. Lumberjacks entered the deep forest of Te Tra district in Quang Gai province in search of wood. At that time, they saw that two people, who looked like humans, were roaming around in the forest. Even after 40 years have passed since the matter came to light, the local administration forcibly brought them into human civilization by interrupting their forest life.

It's actually funny. The society that couldn't even afford them the shelter to save their lives four decades ago forced Ho Van Thanh, now 80, and his son Ho Van Lang, 42, from the blissful life of the forest.

How they lived in the forest for 40 years, what they ate, how they survived natural calamities, how they coped with illness - the experts of that time could not know these wonders. Due to the time gap, their ability to use the language also decreased. Although Than can say little, Lang has only a few words.

Because of that, their 'rehabilitation' has started to bring back physical, mental, social. They are being forced to learn everything anew to return to the society they once lost. Now they have adapted to the society again.

However, Ho Van Lang went to that forest again after 3 years on the initiative of the famous photographer Alvaro Cerezo. In the forest where Ho Van Lang spent not one or two but 40 years of his life, Ho Van Lang enjoyed the past by spending a whole day in the forest. Looking back, Ho Van Lang was lost in the days he left behind. Where Tarzan spent these forty years wearing tree bark.
