II. Sample Composition Portraying Lac Long Quan Narrating the Story of Dragon Offspring and Immortal Grandchild
I am Lac Long Quan, the son of the Dragon Goddess originating from the underwater realm of dragons. My mother and I reside in the land of Lac Viet, where I mostly inhabit the aquatic palace, only emerging onto land when necessary. Possessing the form of a dragon with robust health and magical abilities, I often aid the people by vanquishing malevolent monsters. Witnessing the poverty among the populace, I teach them farming, animal husbandry, and guide them in livelihoods.
During one of my visits to the land, I encountered a celestial maiden approaching our domain. This maiden, with her exquisite beauty, captivated me, prompting me to approach and inquire. I asked the celestial maiden:
- May I inquire from which celestial realm you come to visit the land of Lac Viet?
The celestial maiden stepped forward with a somewhat bashful expression:
- I am Âu Cơ, residing in the high mountains of the Northern region, belonging to the lineage of the Agricultural Deity. I heard that the land of Lac Viet is abundant with fragrant flowers and peculiar grasses, hence I ventured here to explore.
Engaging in conversation with Âu Cơ for a while, we shared many interesting and surprising discoveries, gradually developing affection for each other. After bidding farewell to Âu Cơ, we promised to meet again and pledged to be husband and wife. Shortly thereafter, I approached Âu Cơ for marriage, becoming husband and wife. We settled on land at the Dragon Palace with Âu Cơ. After some time, Âu Cơ had joyful news, which filled me with immense joy. However, upon giving birth, it was peculiar that Âu Cơ did not bear a single child, but instead, a shell containing a hundred pink eggs. When the shell cracked open, all hundred eggs hatched into a hundred beautiful and robust children. I cradled each child in my arms, their features handsome and noble. What was even more extraordinary was that my offspring did not require breastfeeding, growing naturally and rapidly, robust as deities.
Living with my wife and children for a while, I began to feel discomfort and unease, as the lineage accustomed to the underwater world now resided on land for too long. Thinking thus, I reluctantly bid farewell to my wife and children, returning to the aquatic palace. After a short while, Âu Cơ called me forth, reproaching me:
- Why did you leave your wife and children behind? Why not stay and nurture our children together?
Upon parting ways, Âu Cơ and I never crossed paths again, yet our deep-seated affection endured, our kinship strengthening with each passing day. Our people today take pride in their heritage, descendants of dragons and immortals.
After parting ways, I and Âu Cơ never crossed paths again, yet our bond remained profound, the camaraderie of a hundred children only grew stronger. Our people today proudly trace their lineage back to the dragon and fairy ancestors.
I knew I had been somewhat indifferent, but due to circumstances and our vastly different lifestyles between the highlands and the deep waters, we had to part ways. This time we decided that each of us would take fifty children. I led fifty offspring to the coast to teach them how to live and establish themselves. Âu Cơ, on the other hand, led fifty children to the high mountains, where she appointed the eldest as king, bearing the title Hùng Vương, founding the nation of Văn Lang with its capital in Phong Châu. The sons of the kings were collectively called Lang, while the daughters were called Mị Nương. The eldest son succeeded the father as king, under the title Hùng Vương, a lineage that endured through generations.
