5. Book: 'Ancient Tet in Children's Poetry'
Consider this next book for the Tet season, the essay collection 'Tet of Childhood in Verse' by author Huong Thi, published by Kim Dong Publishing House. The book consists of 16 pieces written over the past decade, previously featured in the author's Tet-themed articles, now compiled for their shared theme of childhood Tet with various emotions and experiences.
Reading 'Tet of Childhood in Verse,' we encounter the image of mothers in 'Tet starts from the kitchen' through emotionally charged, sincere, and simple sentences. Tet is also depicted through hens, banana clusters, and baskets of rice the grandmother weaves to contribute to a complete Tet. Tet is the fish pond, bustling fairs full of excitement... Tet is sometimes very childish, the more restricted, the more likely to speak or do forbidden things (Memories of Restricted Things).
What's special is that, in every piece, the author stands at the current viewpoint, having become a mother to look back on Tet. The author shares: 'When Tet comes, I feel like meeting myself in my children, in their joy, excitement, and anticipation that seemed so distant when I was an adult.' This sentiment is conveyed in the first article 'Tet Outfits for Children' and throughout the book. Celebrating that the children have a more fulfilling Tet than their parents' days gone by, yet sighing with nostalgia for the distant days of childhood, the small joys that make the soul teary, evoking emotions lasting for days.'
The book is written in various tones, sometimes innocent, mischievous, witty; other times it makes the reader pause for reflection. It prompts readers to interrupt their current emotions to reminisce and contemplate.
The book is a collection of small, private memories about childhood Tet, but through each page, the Tet days and spring of the human soul, of the land, and of the scenery... still sparkle...
