Our generation of reporters "introducing" Labor all admire names that "sound like thunder in our ears", including Journalist Tran Duc Chinh . I still remember the first time I met him, thinking that meeting the Deputy Editor-in-Chief would be very "stressful", but unexpectedly he grinned and called me in to have a few cups of wine. Oh my god, I just woke up and my boss called me in, without any professional instructions, but instead offered me a drink.
Everyone in the editorial office loves and respects Tran Duc Chinh for being a leader, but no one thinks that he is a "reporter" like other "reporters". As for readers, not many people know that he is journalist Tran Duc Chinh, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Lao Dong Newspaper. Every day they read the newspaper, only "hunting" for the name Ly Sinh Su.
Our juniors told each other that Tran Duc Chinh was "born to write" and never went a day without writing. He used writing to live with himself and with life, not as a position given by others. Tran Duc Chinh worked as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Lao Dong Newspaper but plowed the field of words every day, without stopping.
Talking about Tran Duc Chinh's writing ability, that's enough, you can only roll over and admire him. Friends were "barbaric", and after 10 years of holding the Say it or Don't column, Mr. Ly created 3,600 incidents with articles. That's not to mention Ly Sinh Su's "offshore fishing" in other newspapers and other categories. I remember one time Tran Duc Chinh came to Saigon, called "Let's go drink", had a grand meal and then said "I just received royalties from Tuoi Tre Newspaper, wow".
Journalists of many generations at Lao Dong Newspaper saw two brothers, Chu Thuong, writing an article every day in the Events and Comments column, and Tran Duc Chinh with the pen name Ly Sinh Su also writing an article every day in the Speaking column. Or don't be scared to death. What is admirable is that the articles are always good, full of journalistic quality, and fiery. For a very long time, many years, two columns by two writers Chu Thuong and Ly Sinh Su have attracted the attention of readers, attracting readers. Every day when they turn the Lao Dong newspaper, everyone focuses on the box. The two men's italics are like indispensable spiritual food.
What our group of 6x reporters worked directly with Journalist Tran Duc Chinh and learned from him was professionalism in the profession. To be able to write a regular article every day for ten years, he spent a lot of time working, concentrating on thinking and, importantly, having a working method to achieve efficiency. Every day, he reads every newspaper, carefully records new information, compares it with information channels to ensure accuracy, calls the reporting reporter to verify, and then writes. . Therefore, although his article seems playful, it is very intense and poignant.
The professionalism lies in the fact that everyone who works as an editorial secretary has the same share, especially Mr. Ly's Say it or Don't section, you can rest assured that the article will be on time, with the right number of words, without having to waste time editing. practice. But Tran Duc Chinh is not only an excellent satirical writer, he also writes in many other genres, all of which demonstrate the true stature, knowledge, and bravery of a great journalist.
Every time there is a major political news event, the editorial office needs Tran Duc Chinh's pen. Only then can we see his political observation, tight writing, in-depth analysis, sharp political articles. Sharp but soft, not dry or stiff. His political articles are not about shouting slogans or quoting a few statements from leaders, but rather stating his own point of view, leaving something for readers to think about.
In addition to satirical articles for the Say it or Don't column, Tran Duc Chinh writes essays to send to readers. But those works are also like a private corner to enjoy real life stories. He wrote essays very quickly. Many times, when he returned from drinking wine at lunch, he would tell me to make tea, "wait for me a moment" and then sit at the writing table. The water boiled, the tea was finished, he went to the tea table, "I just finished chatting". Asked why he wrote so quickly, he said "I think while drinking".
Many of his essays are very cute, profound, heartwarming and talented. Van is a person, perhaps by reading Tran Duc Chinh's writing, friends will understand him better and be more true to him. I also know that there are many readers who cut out the yellow box of the Scatter section on the Culture page of Lao Dong Newspaper to collect, among them, the name Ha Van is the most popular.
Friends and colleagues find the simplest thing in Tran Duc Chinh, which is trying to live happily, because this life has many unhappy things. I remember an essay written by Tran Duc Chinh a long time ago, he said that when Tet comes, we often wish each other health and happiness. People have to wish for those two things because they are fragile and hard to find.
Tran Duc Chinh is a writer, lives his whole life with words and is a beautiful person, living with friends with kindness.
