I own a stunning villa in the outskirts, where my family and I retreat every end of summer. Speaking of family, it reminds me that I've been married for almost a year now. My wife is absolutely gorgeous, flawless complexion and all. We lead a truly blessed life. Currently, I'm aboard a private jet en route to England to engage with high-level delegates of the United Nations.
Three days ago, on my way to the United States to attend to some important matters and receive the Nobel Peace Prize, I made a stopover in Hai Phong - the very place where my siblings and I attended school in our younger days. Returning to Tran Phu School after all these years, I found it revamped and adorned with gleaming platinum all around, a far cry from its former self.

Hai Duong, on the... day of... month, year
Dear Tường Vi!
Never before have I felt so restless at the thought of you. So many emotions flood in, and I know this moment is one only you can share with me. Today, I revisited our beloved junior high school, after twenty years of being apart...
The scorching summer sun still lingers, even in the late afternoon. Its rays playfully dance upon the branches of trees, revealing our old school in a tender, familiar light, devoid of the solemnity it once held... I quietly stroll around the courtyard, observing each arch of the trees, sensing the difference in this once-familiar scene. Perhaps, despite the twenty years of separation, despite the many classes that have come and gone, the school remains the same, unchanged in the soul of each person, forever...

Thái Nguyên, on the... day of... month, year......
Dear Linh,
Receiving this letter from me must come as a surprise to you, Linh, doesn't it? Yeah! It's been so long.... After all these years, sitting down and writing a letter to Linh feels awkward, struggling with the pen and what to say...
How's Linh doing now? I bet Linh is still healthy, with the family always filled with laughter and happiness, right?
I miss Linh's little boy, Nam, so much, you know. He was such a well-behaved and adorable kid. The last time I saw him was when we parted ways for Linh to move to the South, it's been 12 years already. I bet the boy has grown into a handsome young man, is he doing well in his studies, Linh?
As for me, I'm still doing fine, life is still okay. My husband got transferred, so we moved back to Thái Nguyên. Living in the familiar and cozy atmosphere of our hometown is truly wonderful, Linh.

Bảo Định, on the... day of... month, year....
Dear Loan,
Did you get surprised when this letter arrived from Bảo Định, our hometown? Well, it's quite simple as you know, I've been back to Vietnam for 10 days now. While in Đà Nẵng, Cu Tí's hometown, for a week, me and the 'hubby' decided to 'pilgrimage down South', meaning we took the kid to visit the grandparents' village. You know, I had to make offerings for my parents because I wasn't there when they passed away. Moreover, I want Cu Tí to fully understand the meaning of 'homeland'.

Life is full of changes. The students of my school bid farewell to each other at our beloved Thuận Thành school.
Since then, partly due to work commitments and partly due to family responsibilities, I haven't had the opportunity to visit the school, to see the teachers and the classmates again. That day, during a business trip, I requested three days off from work to revisit our old school. I was accompanied by some colleagues from the office. It was an emotional journey for me amidst the years of working in Hanoi.
The wheels rolled smoothly and swiftly along the familiar road. Just about five minutes more and we would reach the school.
My heart was fluttering with excitement. The car halted right in front of the school gate. The school scene had changed so much that I could hardly recognize it. It's been twenty years since we parted ways, and now I'm back here, where I once had beautiful memories. This gate is where we, the students, used to wait for each other. I looked around eagerly, as if waiting for something...

Since the day I received my high school diploma, twenty years have passed, filled with longing for my homeland. Then one day, feeling grown-up after a challenging academic journey, I confidently decided to revisit my old junior high school - the place where my dreams were nurtured, where I grew up under the guidance of my teachers.
It was a beautiful day. The weather was gradually transitioning into autumn, the summer air no longer stifling, but rather much more pleasant. The gentle breeze rustled the trees along the road. I walked on the familiar path, lost in following the radiant golden sunlight, filled with joy and indescribable emotions. That very feeling, that atmosphere, twenty years ago, was shared by me and many other kids in the village, eagerly counting down the days and hours to return to school, to meet friends and teachers.
