Poet Nguyen Quang Thieu had a profound reflection on the movement of memories: "This world seems to have nothing changed in essence, it is only new when it appears in the artist's eyes. The past is as new as the present and it exists right inside the present".
Come and remember the photos of your life.

IN LO LO CHAI VILLAGE* DANG QUANG VUONG.
The village elder raises a cup of corn wine to invite.
His hands are calloused, stained with dew and wind.
I realize the color of wine blends with hardship.
Month, year...
The rooster crows, the two countries hear together.
The grass on one side, the root on the other side drinks water.
The road divided in half...For generations, Lo Lo Chai people have clung to the land.Exploiting fields and hills, planting rice and corn...Grains harvested bring dreams.Grains sprout with sweat and blood...Drums and fields always echo throughout the alley.Lo Lo Chai people are never sad.Lo Lo Chai village is located close to the border.Many generations are used to early rain and sunny afternoons...Lo Lo Chai people always know how to keep the land and sky quiet.Trees flower...Only a few dozen roofs of Lo Lo Chai houses become support points.I look up at the Lung Cu flagpole - the support points of Lo Lo Chai
* Border village at the foot of Lung Cu flagpole, belonging to Lung Cu commune, old Dong Van district - Ha Giang, now Tuyen Quang province; 100% Lo Lo ethnic people. In 2025, it was recognized by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as the Best Tourist Village in the World.
PHAM CAO ARROWROOT SEASON.
So it's again withered in the areca season.Going back to find traces of the betel bed in the past.I go back to sleep under the rain.The wind whispers and tells old stories of the village.Poor kitchen, a piece of roasted corn.But fragrant and surprisingly fragrant in the afternoon of winter.Remembering the sound of frogs in the fields.The young sunshine again remembers the dry red silk.I go back to pick up the falling moonlight.The home garden fragrant with grapefruit fragrant fragrant.Remembering that time when the fish were weak.The shrimp were hungry.A bowl of rice from a poor hometown.I go back to memories and follow them.Going back, I remember setting anchor for a time.Cay ginger, salty, salt, and tears fall.On the edge of the belly, hungry, lying and counting.I go back to find the folk song.The sound of a frog drifting into childhood.The river
SINGING BY THE RIVER VI THI THU DAM Since the person passed away that day I stayed to hide my sadness in the river Months have passed, going to the river, constantly waiting By the seasons of blooming flowers looking forward Water is still flowing as if accidentally water is flowing Who knows, the river is anxiously going against the flow I feel sorry for myself by the landslide People on the alluvial side are warm and peaceful?
Is it true that wherever the river is, it goes down to the basin How many rivers are flowing with choking hearts! 1.2026
A DIRECTION OF TUYEN QUANG NGO KIM DINH When I came to Ha Giang, the name province was no longer the name district, the name commune, the city in the name ward Mountain Banned loneliness once again Distance Through a few heavenly gates, overcoming a few legendary passes Dong Van is Dong Van Cot Flag here Lung Cu Wind blowing across the sky at the extreme North National flag fluttering brightly Giant rocky mountains, unbearable shapes, herd of horses covering the Nirvana basin Ma Pi Leng There is the sound of khen calling for our wine to come to Pa Vi Xuoi village Yen Minh, Quan Ba xuoi Vi Xuyen, Lo Giang, the high points of the old mountain range, names for thousands of generations...
Sadly saying goodbye to a distant land of Tuyen Quang. 1.2026
