Explaining the title Distant Stars succinctly and comprehensively
I. Answer Suggestions:
- Stars emerge in Phương Định's thoughts at the very end of the story.
- They are 'the large stars in the city sky'; 'the lights on the square shining like stars in fairy tales' -> Reflecting the nostalgia for the homeland of the Hanoi girl on the battlefield.
- Symbolizing the young female volunteers on the frontlines, shining amidst the bombs and bullets.
- Also symbolic of all the soldiers tirelessly fighting day and night, protecting peace and independence for the nation.
