During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ho Chi Minh City faced strict lockdowns. Many workers lost their jobs, leaving them without money for food. While charitable groups wanted to help, distributing aid created large crowds, which broke social distancing rules. The city needed a new, innovative way to provide support safely, balancing the needs of its vulnerable citizens with public health requirements.

In response, a local inventor named Hoàng Tuấn Anh developed a brilliant solution: the 'gao ATM.' This was not a machine for money, but for hope. The concept was simple yet effective: a person could press a button and a bag of rice would be dispensed. The entire process was automated and contactless, ensuring that people could receive help without risking their health. The machine was set up outside his company.

The success of the first rice ATM was immediate. News of this compassionate invention spread quickly through social media and national television. It inspired a nationwide movement, with similar rice ATMs appearing in other cities across Vietnam. This was not viewed as a temporary solution, but as a powerful symbol of community solidarity and kindness during a time of great uncertainty. It showed how one practical idea could unite people.

Ultimately, the story of the rice ATM is about more than just distributing free food. It represents the power of practical problem-solving mixed with compassion. Hoàng Tuấn Anh’s invention showed an entire generation that a simple machine, born from a desire to help, can feed a community and inspire a nation.
