\n

With the whole country practising social distancing amid the Covid-19 outbreak, staying in at all times can feel suffocating.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a man in Vietnam found a way to<\/span> keep himself entertained<\/b> while staying safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

He resorted to<\/span> rope jumping<\/b>, an activity widely enjoyed by Vietnamese kids in primary schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s how much fun he had.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On 27th July, a video was unearthed on <\/span>Tu\u1ed5i Tr\u1ebb C\u01b0\u1eddi<\/span><\/a>, capturing a senior citizen jumping rope happily with his female neighbors as turners.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the turners turned the rope at a medium pace, the man jumped through it happily.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the rope hit his foot after several jumps and he was eliminated from the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before he got out, he even blamed the turner for turning the rope unfairly.<\/span><\/p>\n

After jumping, he got tired and breathed heavily as he sat down. However, he couldn\u2019t help grinning from ear to ear, looking like he had a really good time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reader Chi\u1ebfn<\/strong> commented, \u201cAt this age, he jumped rope for fun, not in a competitive way like he used to when he was a kid so he must have really enjoyed it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I visit the countryside and see the kids jumping ropes, I ask to join them,\u201d reader <\/span>Giangg<\/strong> could totally relate to the man’s joy in jumping rope.<\/span>

\u201cI really enjoy this game. You should do it as long as you\u2019re happy,\u201d reader <\/span>H\u1eefu Vy<\/strong> commented.<\/span><\/p>\n

We should do things that make us happy<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Just because we\u2019re adults or senior citizens, it doesn\u2019t mean that we have to take everything in life seriously and make it all about work and responsibilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as we do things that make us happy while staying safe, we should do it regardless of what other people think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, the man in the story will regain his strength, improve his jumping skills, and come back into the game stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n
