Our place in the countryside has a wooden house. The house is near the river. There is a boat on the river. There is also a field of wild flowers nearby.
We will bike along the river and swim in the river. We will go boating on the river. In the morning we will go picking the wild flowers. Such a peaceful life!Recalling how I felt when night came, holding a torch in hand, groping from the alley of Ms. Than's house, following the light and walking towards the center of the village, where dozens of torches were shining, waiting to hear from the villagers. Sing a song that makes my heart skip a beat. Is it because of seeing things that were lost, lost somewhere, in hundreds and thousands of Vietnamese villages? Distant memories now seem to be returning… I understand why Triem Tay is attracting more and more tourists. But tourism in Triem Tay is not a destination, but just a motivation - a chance to regain what was lost in a pure Vietnamese village, creating a sustainable living space for the villagers. If someone knew that just over two years ago, Triem Tay was almost a forgotten village, dull because of the absence of human footsteps, then perhaps it would have absorbed all the joy of the Triem Tay people today...
