    Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Ho Van Lang, who had lived in jungle with hisfather for more than 40 years in the central province of Quang Ngai, will befeatured in a new documentary to be released by Docastaway travel company in2019.

    Dubbed “Vietnamese Tarzan” by the media, he returned to civilised life in 2013with the support of local authorities after spending more than 40 years withhis father in remote jungles to avoid the American war. They did not know thatthe war had ended until being discovered by locals.

    In 2016, Spanish explorer Alvaro Cerezo returned with Lang to the exact area heused to live and made a documentary on his lifestyle in the wild jungle overfive days.

    On the last day, Cerezo promised to show Lang his world on a desert island inthe future.

    “Lang and I became very good friends,” Cerezo said. “During the past threeyears I used to call him every few months (through my Vietnamese translator).”

    Few months ago, Cerezo took Lang to a desert island in the Pacific Ocean thathis company offers to clients.

    “He flew on a plane for the first time,” Cerezo said. “He didn’t stop lookingthrough the window. Always impressed and always with a very serious face.”

    Lang also saw a big city for the first time.

    “We always tried to protect him so we didn’t make him walk in the city,” hesaid. “But he couldn’t sleep at night looking at all the skyscrapers throughthe window. He was also very serious and not very talkative. He said he didn’tlike what he saw from the window.”

    When Lang saw the ocean for the first time, his mood started to change and hestarted to smile, Cerezo reported.

    He traveled on a board for the first time and he was frightened, holdinghimself tightly.

    “When he landed on the desert island, his mood completely changed,” Cerezosaid. “He was extremely happy. He was moving freely, hyperactively, exploringthe island by himself. He opened coconuts for the first time in his lifebecause in his jungle there were no coconuts.”

    They spent two days on the island, where Lang was very happy.

    “Just like a little child in a theme park. We fished, made a fire and ashelter, climbed coconut trees...,” Cerezo said.

    Cerezo said Lang did not know sea water was salty so one morning he drank itand spat it out.

    “He couldn’t sleep at night because he was afraid the island was floating andit could sink at any time,” Cerezo said.

    Cerezo said he had met some wild people like David Glasheen and MasafumiNagasaki, yet he found it interesting staying with Lang.

    The documentary on Lang’s trip to the island will be released on Youtube in early2019.

    The last documentary on Lang by Docastaway, which followed him in the jungle,attracted 5 million views.

    Cerezo, who loves wildlife and exploring deserted islands, founded Docastawayto organise explorations to deserted lands and ancient festivals.

    He has been to some 30 islands in Indonesia, Melanesia, Africa, the Philippinesand the Caribbean.
