Poet Huy Cận, born in a humble region of Hà Tĩnh, devoted his entire life to the nation's struggle and expressed deep love for national poetry. Considered a representative author of Vietnamese literature, his pre-revolutionary poems were laden with poignant sadness and the human sorrow of fragile lives, while post-revolution, his poetry embraced new life, embodying hopes, love, beautiful sensations, and a positive outlook on life, especially for those in labor. The poem 'Fishing Boat Fleet,' featured in the collection 'Everyday the Sky Shines,' vividly showcases his post-revolutionary style, earning recognition as 'a poem filled with radiant light.'

'Fishing Boat Fleet' was written during Huy Cận's practical visit to the Quảng Ninh mining region, amidst the northern days of socialist construction. It is perceived as a poem brimming with light—the light of nature and the vast universe, the light of abundance and prosperity from the seas, and the light of extraordinary resilience, faith, willpower of diligent laborers. It is a hymn celebrating the unwavering dedication of fishermen, persistently toiling in their challenging yet meaningful work.

'The sun descends upon the sea like a fiery orb
Waves adorned with thorns, night closes its door
The fishing fleet sets sail once more
Songs echo, sails taut, embracing the ocean breeze'

As nightfall gently descends, nature takes respite after a day of labor, and it's also the time when fishermen venture out to the familiar routine. In these moments, the universe and the vast sea become their second home, welcoming laboring souls braving the waves and winds. Sails stretch taut with the wind, carrying tunes of sentiment, singing for hopes and the sea's endless affections

'Sing of the silver fish in the silent eastern sea
Fish in abundance, like a fleet of birds
Night and day weaving a sea of light
Come weave the nets, oh fishing fleet'

The song rises high amidst the boundless sea and sky, a joyous anthem praising the richness of the mother sea. It is also an inviting melody for each school of fish to come and weave the nets, anticipating a prosperous journey with tranquil skies and calm seas. In this song, all the people's emotions, excitement, and the joy of labor in the human quest to conquer nature are encapsulated. In these verses lies the wondrous 'myriad strands of light,' magically transforming the waves into myriad beautiful wonders. An exuberant atmosphere sets forth, promising a journey rich in harvest with an abundance of returning fish and shrimp.

'Our boat steers the wind with moonlit sails
Gliding amidst the lofty clouds and equal to the sea
Setting sail for distant nautical miles, exploring the sea's belly
An array woven, a net deployed in strategic formation'

Amidst the vast expanse of the sea, though our boat may be small, it is neither fragile nor swayed by the sea breeze. Through control and the laborer's strength, the boat and its captain assert dominance over the majestic nature. The boat, no longer modest and solitary, becomes grand, harmonious, standing equal to the vast universe. It glides effortlessly over each wave, and the hearts of the people are fervent in their quest to find their own schools of fish. The fishermen, with their experience, strategically weave nets in perilous formations to lure in the catch. It is a labor-intensive task requiring precision, resilience, and intense concentration. Their ceaseless and enthusiastic work demonstrates the admirable conquest of nature by these artists of the open sea.

'The silver and flying fish, along with the lantern-like duo
Dazzling fish sparkle like black and pink fireworks
Your tail flutters, embracing the golden moonlight
Night breathes: the stars weave over Ha Long's waters'

Our homeland's sea is rich and abundant with myriad fish species. Amidst the bright moonlight and shimmering waters, these graceful fish freely swim, showcasing the full beauty of their agile bodies. The sparkling duo of fish resembles pink and black fireworks, their tails dancing playfully in the glistening water. The night seems to breathe in sync with the labor of the fishermen, following the rhythm of their work and the passage of time. The moon, water, sky, and the hearts of the people blend into one, laboring together and sharing emotions. All together, they create a lively and vibrant beauty. Despite the challenges, there is no sign of fatigue or sighs, a truly precious and invaluable aspect. It appears as if we witness here not only hard work but also gratitude and deep respect from the laborers towards Mother Nature, the sea, and a mother's nurturing spirit—accommodating and protecting us through dangers, providing us with an abundance of fish and shrimp, nurturing and raising the next generation of fishermen.

'Stars faintly pull the nets before dawn
I pull, my hands coil with the weight of abundant fish
Silver scales, golden tails gleam in the eastern glow
Nets folded, sails raised to embrace the rosy sunlight.'

As the dim stars fade, signaling the impending dawn, the resilient locals persist in their work, ensuring a timely return as the morning unfolds. Despite enduring the hardships of a long night, they remain full of vigor, dedicated to the 'heavy catches' that represent the fruits of their perseverance through storms. The early morning light illuminates each catch, creating a sparkling and captivating sight, as if together with the laborers, it welcomes a new day with radiant joy and the fulfillment of their efforts.

'Songs resonate, sails taut with the ocean breeze
The fleet races alongside the rising sun
The sun crowns the sea with a fresh hue
Fish eyes shimmer gloriously across endless miles'

The fleet returns in jubilation and happiness, radiating optimism and excitement. The song and sails continue to rise like a triumphant anthem. We witness the immense joy of the fishermen in their work and the joy of building a homeland that is increasingly rich and beautiful. The poem captures the simple and peaceful beauty of labor in the renewed homeland. The radiant light in the poem echoes eternally, serving as the motivation for laborers who carry faith and hope into the future, into the renewal efforts of their homeland and nation.
