Scene of the program introducing the book "Company 915 - Forever with the country" (volume 2). |
The first work written about the 915th Youth Volunteer Company and Team 91 is the novella "The Secretary's Diary" (Thanh Nien Publishing House, 2003, reprinted in 2011) by writer Ngoc Thi Keo, a former youth volunteer of Team 91.
"The Diary of a Secretary" is written elaborately, delving into every detail and every inner self of the soldiers, especially the female Youth Volunteers of Company 915 and Team 91. The long story "The Diary of a Secretary" is written in a simple narrative style but is quite realistic, from the person involved, so it is well received by readers.
Next is the novel "The Pioneers" by writer Ho Thuy Giang, published in 2016 by the Literature Publishing House, which won an award in the writing competition of the Writers' Association and the Ministry of Transport. The novel "The Pioneers" recreated the working life of the soldiers of Company 915 and former Youth Volunteers of Company 915 during and after the war. The images of the characters in the work appear with beauty in pain.
The novel "The Pioneers" not only symbolizes the people in the war but also praises the immortal spirit of the Youth Volunteers in all circumstances and at all times.
In particular, in early 2018, when the Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee decided to renovate, embellish and expand the area of the Memorial Site of the Youth Volunteers of Company 915 in Gia Sang Ward, Thai Nguyen City (a relic ranked as a national relic in 2009), a large number of books and literary works were published with commendable quality.
First of all, we must mention the book "915 Youth Volunteer Company Immortal Epic" published by Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee in 2018, which has been a guide and inspiration for writers in their creativity.
Also in 2018, a large scientific conference was fully gathered in the proceedings "915 Heroic Youth Volunteer Company - feats and sacrifices for the cause of national liberation" with many important presentations that attracted readers.
Along with the opening and construction of the Memorial House for 60 martyrs of the 915th Youth Volunteer Force, the spirit of gratitude to the martyrs of the 915th Youth Volunteer Force has become a social phenomenon, and literary and artistic works on this topic seem to have matured. Hundreds of literary works such as novels, short stories, memoirs, notes, film scripts, poems, epics, etc. written about the 915th Youth Volunteer Force have had the opportunity to flourish.

According to the policy of the Provincial Party Committee, at the end of 2018, the books "Company 915 remains forever with the country" (Volume 1 - Thai Nguyen University Publishing House in 2018) and "Company 915 remains forever with the country" (Volume 2 - Writers Association Publishing House in 2022) compiled and compiled by the Thai Nguyen Provincial Literature and Arts Association were introduced to readers, as a strong impression in the hearts of readers, especially former Youth Volunteers.
During this creative period, many outstanding works in both quantity and quality were born. Many works won awards in the Creative Campaign on the theme of the Heroic Youth Volunteer Company 915 launched by the Provincial Literature and Arts Association in 2019.
We can mention the epic poem "Ngoc trong nui" by writer Minh Hang (B Prize), the epic poem "Doi nay co mot chu yeu" by Doan Huu Nam, a writer from Lao Cai province (C Prize), the movie script "Dai doi mau ao nang" by the group of authors Ho Thuy Giang, Phan Thai, Dao Nguyen Hai (A Prize)...
In addition, there are also poems that leave indelible marks such as "Soul of the Fatherland" by Pham Xuan Duong, "Sunflower Monument" by Phan Thai... which have been set to music.
What is more valuable is that, in the echo of the immortal spirit of the Heroic Company 915, many years later, authors continue to focus on this important topic. Many short stories and memoirs continue to appear in newspapers inside and outside the province.
In particular, two novels "Sunshine behind the sun" (Phan Thai), "Mountain flowers" (Ho Thuy Giang) and the collection of short stories and memoirs "Sacred mountain, flowers still purple" (Minh Hang, Phan Thai) have been published and distributed by central publishing houses in large quantities, spreading widely in the community.
It can be said that no literary period in Thai Nguyen province has had such a strong and exciting vitality as the period when artists turned their pens to Company 915. This is also easy to understand. The brave sacrifice of the young soldiers of Company 915 has been a driving force, a belief, an endless inspiration for artists to create literary works for future generations.
We have the right to hope that, today and forever, the works written about the heroic 915th Youth Volunteer Company will forever burn in every person's heart.
