After
short travel by motor to Northwest mountains,I feel so impress and
exciting.Stop at some place and breath a fresh air mingles with the rice aroma,a
very Vietnamesse fragance, it make our heart more clean and
quiet cooling. Go weaving between the vast golden wheat, feel like I'm drowning
in childhood when the rice is in being in my home, but now there’s not viable
because of the changing where I live and the industrialization .
Feeling the gusty blowing through that make
the hill shake,is so majestic. if you witnessed that scene,you’ll see all. I
like holding sickle to harvest rice with the girls here, they are so pretty and
funny, a new sense for a guy who comes from city, especially in a upland. “I’ll
come back once day!”
Nothing is more beautiful than the harvesting time
in my homeland,I love the familiar things went into the subconscious and become
a value that nothing can change. The dreamy gold fields, honest people who live
in majestic mountains.I’m sure that you will not be disappointed with the trip to
find “the Northwest truest gold”,that writers like Nguyen Trung Thanh, Nguyen
Tuan has been mentioned in the pages of human and natural of Northwest.
