'Distant Stars' is a remarkable short story by writer Lê Minh Khuê. The main character in the work is Phương Định - a young female volunteer living and fighting on the fiery Trường Sơn trail. Phương Định is one of the three girls of the 'roadside reconnaissance team' with the task of 'measuring the amount of earth filling the bomb crater, counting unexploded bombs, and if necessary, defusing bombs'. She and her comrades live in 'a cave at the foot of a high point' where the American enemy relentlessly drops bombs day and night. It can be said that Phương Định's living conditions are very harsh and dangerous. However, she still shines with the beauty of the heroic young generation in the anti-American resistance. In appearance, she is a Hanoi girl, very beautiful, 'quite a girl' with 'thick, relatively soft hair, a high neck, proud like a peacock's tail' and has eyes with 'a distant look'. In her work, Phương Định is a soldier with a high sense of responsibility. She is ready to carry out dangerous bomb disposal tasks. She is not afraid of death, only concerned about whether 'the mine would explode, the bomb would explode'. Furthermore, she is also a young female volunteer with a courageous spirit. This is demonstrated when defusing a bomb, she walked 'properly' to the left of the bomb, 'not bending down', nor showing any fear. Because for her, death is something 'vague, not specific'. Finally, in Phương Định, we also see a soul full of dreams, rich in emotions when she encounters a sudden hailstorm or when she remembers the dear memories of Hanoi.
