The world of fairy tale characters is truly rich and diverse. Since childhood, my innocent mind has been filled with images of the clever Coconut Skull who disguises himself ugly, the talented and kind-hearted Thach Sanh. There are also images of the wicked stepmother, of the cunning and malicious mother and son from the Lý family, alongside the kind-hearted Fairy and Immortal, with their magical benevolence always aiding others. In a vast world with both good and evil, the image of Cinderella always leaves me with more feelings and thoughts than any other: simultaneously heartbroken, fond, and admiring.
The image of Cinderella always remains beautiful in my mind. Cinderella is associated with small, simple yet incredibly adorable objects. It's the obedient little fish every time it hears 'Bong Bong bang bang' wagging its tail and jumping into the well. It's the tiny slipper that disappointed many girls at the festival but helped the king find a virtuous wife. It's also the fragrant betel leaf that Cinderella fetches daily for the old woman selling water and winds up finding her prince. These small, beautiful objects associated with Cinderella appear truly adorable to me. Cinderella, adorable, respectable, and valuable not just for her beauty, grace, and diligence. But also for Cinderella's affection for the little fish, and Cinderella's filial piety towards her parents. For Bong, Cinderella readily gives up her portion of food. Even after becoming a wealthy queen, Cinderella never forgets her father's death anniversary, climbing the banyan tree to retrieve betel nuts to create an opportunity for the wicked stepmother to plot against her.
But the more I admire the noble qualities of Cinderella, the more I feel sorrow, compassion for her life, for Cinderella's fate. The unfair fate has forced Cinderella, gentle and filial, to live an orphaned life early on, to endure the torment of 'Wicked Stepmother, Wicked Stepson'. Cinderella has to toil hard, doing all sorts of chores in the house. Even during festive occasions, Cinderella has to suffer losses. Only the little fish friend is stolen away. Not even the queen's status and wealth are enough to save Cinderella from the scheming of the wicked stepmother.
Cinderella had to go through so much suffering before finding happiness. Such suffering, unhappiness, torment make one cannot help but feel sorrow, compassion.
But there are times when my feelings turn to frustration, anger. Those are the times when Cinderella cries every time she faces adversity. The image of Cinderella being too weak, too passive has often turned my pity into pity. Fortunately, that feeling quickly passes, giving way to admiration and love even greater. It's when witnessing Cinderella rise above her suffering, fighting against the harm of the stepmother and stepdaughter. With strong determination, Cinderella has won, has regained happiness for herself. No need for fairies, nymphs anymore. The miracle now comes from inner strength, fighting to maintain happiness, to enforce justice and revenge. Cinderella becomes strong, resolute alongside her inherently gentle, kind nature.
The image of Cinderella helps me somewhat understand the struggles that the working people have gone through in a distant past of the nation. The hard, difficult lives but always robust, healthy, noble, and abundant in vitality. They, in the poorest years of history, have shown us the utmost richness in the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. Cinderella to me is not just the presence of a life, a specific soul.
Despite the many misfortunes and hardships in life, Tấm's eventual attainment of happiness leaves a lasting impression on me. It often makes me dream of meeting the beautiful, graceful, and kind-hearted characters of that magical fairy tale world.
