1. Hope ( hope), Happy (happiness), smile (laughing), News (newspaper). Four words from the dark English stand out on brown packaging wrapped in 4 bouquets of flowers - 2 sunflowers, 2 roses, the closing day of the end of the year in front of the gate of a secondary school, the flower seller invites parents to buy them for teachers.
The bouquets of flowers are wrapped in paper with complete English press motifs (brown Kraft paper soaked in imported foreign oil), and large pillars - a way of wrapping flowers for traveling for many years. Perhaps looking at the type of wrapped paper and gifts like that, there are Vietnamese designers who quickly emulate the patterned ao dai style, which is the real name of many Vietnamese newspapers, enthusiastically launching it every June...
That is when the press patterns are purely decorative.
In real life, many Vietnamese newspapers (both foreign newspapers) that are "ex old enough" often see wrapped flowers (or fruits) sold in the market. Thinking happily, the newspaper is full of fresh fruit.
The life of some paper newspapers, short, is said to be 24 hours, hundreds of years long, especially when stored in the library.
Up to now, how many people still place/reads paper newspapers in their country? The number of paper newspapers printed is a "professional secret", also the honor of a newspaper in the technology and AI era that has now taken the throne.
For many consecutive years, at the end of each month, she has brought more than 30 newspapers every day and on weekends to "market friends" - the wife who sells familiar, small, and cute flowers and fruits.
Packaging goods for customers, she quickly surfs the old newspapers, then seems to choose newspapers that do not print news, are not happy ( greed, waste, robbery, murder...).
"With free lunch, I surf the internet and occasionally look at some of my newspapers. Old newspapers, but when there are good stories, good people, reading makes me happy...", she laughed.
A good news that reaches readers in some way, even if it is slow, and brings them joy and love, from an angle, is also the support of "good news - good news", what is left?
At the end of May, I tried to appear serious and smile and tell her, now I'm retired, after June, there are no more old newspapers to give me! She laughed, sharing comment comment. Packages, let me buy more...
She sells goods in high demand, all the packages are made of old newspapers, in addition to the newspapers she gave, she was given them by others, and bought them herself. A large paper newspaper packs goods (blossom) in disadvantage, she laughed enthusiastically, then asked again, when the day came, there was only a website, packed all the goods in bags of foam and cloves?
Basically, paper newspapers, according to the standards, have large, medium, small, and micro sentences. If any newspaper is miserable, it will be miserable (greater, what form is the newspaper in) The problem is on the newspaper page, "we spread what news, bring readers something good and new. The press cannot be lacking in criticism, as his colleagues on the occasion of June 21 have said in recent years.
In addition to forming online newspapers, there are a few newspapers that are still persistent/ Persistent in maintaining the format but forming paper newspapers is difficult. The newspaper where I worked for more than 30 years, with 4 more years to turn 100 years old, is also in the big group, and now it is regularly 8 pages, 6 issues/week, 40 x 58cm in size; some on weekends. At the end of last year, 2024, the newspaper was ranked as "leading the Central Newspaper Agency Group in digital transformation of the press".
2. The sidewalk newspaper near home, in addition to newspapers and magazines, also sells comics. On the morning of the last weekend of May, they went to the stall to buy 2 weekends' tickets to give to a group of young architects to collaborate with the newspaper. The newspaper seller took a blue plastic bag and gave up the 2 newspapers. "I love you in a bag. Missed rain, not wet newspapers. During the rainy season, I prepare this bag. Breakfast bread, read the newspaper in the morning, she laughed, saying.
Newspapers are only read in the morning, of course, but why read them? The coffee shop on the street opposite the newspaper stall, 4 small tables with more than 10 people, with 10 young old heads bowing to look or switching on the phone screen.
paper newspapers or phones to play spiritual dishes on the heart - brain; The Saigonese morning food is always delicious with a batch of coffee, ribs and rice, or sometimes just a handful of sticky rice and beans, vegetarian banh tet.
A new day begins with surf shots. Surely no one wants to be considered a person who... loses information - misses the rhythm of life. "There are 2 news, 1 good news, 1 bad news, what news do you want to hear first?". A true all-time classic sentence.
3. On the first day of June, I moved out of the office to start a "happy retirement" life and met a technology taxi driver chatting. turned music without words, turned air conditioners without too much cold as asked by the passenger, he looked at the old lady through the rearview mirror in the car, laughed and said, "eh, what news is that newspaper, people come to that newspaper, right? Which newspaper serves that person, right side?" (i understand this from your friend that each newspaper has its own reader format).
I also read every newspaper, find it online, right? - the female passenger burst out laughing and asked the talented child what happened - have you been driving a technology car for a long time?". "A few years. I have time to join the army. I like the army more than the police. Every time I listen to songs about Truong Sa, I feel excited, more patriotic, more lover of life...".
A question-and-answer between the old lady and the grandchild who are used to driving a technology taxi around and dancing with a bug randomly, the story of the newspaper - life - life - news suddenly stopped in one sentence that made the old lady and the pensioner unexpectedly moved - the love of the Fatherland of a young man.
There are 2 news, 1 good news, 1 bad news, what news do you want to hear first?.
Oh, Im a normal person. Let me welcome the new day with good news first!.
