II. Sample Piece:
Perhaps no nation or people in the world desires invasion, no one in humanity enjoys living amidst chaos and war. Therefore, when enemies invade our shores, there is nothing to do but to rise up and fight. Victories over invaders are always sources of pride, motivation, and determination for oppressed peoples to struggle. Tran Quang Khai's poem 'The General Returns to the Capital' is like an anthem celebrating the spirit of victory and the longing for peace.
'Chương Dương brandishes his spear against the enemy
Hàm Tử captures the enemy
Chương Dương and Hàm Tử are two battlefields where the fierce battles between the Tran dynasty and the invading Mongol army took place. These two victories are glorious and resounding achievements, echoing across the four corners of the land, altering the balance between us and the enemy. Our army shifted from a defensive to an offensive position to secure victory. Just ten lines, yet they reverberate like thunder, portraying the intense battle with its resounding cries and the echoing of drums in the mountains and rivers. 'Brandishing spears against the enemy', 'capturing the enemy' - the posture is bold, majestic in battle, showcasing courage and authority, resolute and imposing. The martial spirit is akin to the East Asian spirit of the Tran people - united and determined for the noble cause with an unwavering spirit of victory that cannot be shaken.
Having achieved victory, having endured hardships and trials, we cherish and yearn for peace more than ever. And this fervent spirit, this intense longing, is depicted by Tran Quang Khai in the final two lines:
'Tranquility nurtures strength of mind
'Through myriad trials, we brave the rivers and mountains'
After enduring countless hardships, shedding countless tears and blood, sacrificing thousands of lives, we cherish even more the moments of peace and freedom. The author's message to the military and the people is about the consciousness of protecting the nation, rallying together to build a prosperous and peaceful country, ensuring its enduring existence for millennia. The author's aspirations echo the wishes of the people. The concerns of all about building and nurturing a beautiful homeland for a thousand years.
The spirit of victory and the longing for peace are the dominant themes resonating throughout the work. Though the poem is short, it brims with profound significance, encapsulating hopes and thoughts of a grand ideology, a profound personality.
