April – golden rays of sunshine stretch across every rooftop. This is a time when nature seems to be in a daze, waiting to enter a new phase. The feeling of April is not just about the change of seasons, but also about unexpected and evocative emotions. Stepping into April, the air seems to carry a new breath. The morning sunlight clearly shines through the lush green foliage of the trees, creating a beautiful natural landscape.
And in April, we also feel the change not only in nature but also in people's moods and thoughts. It's a time when we can pause, reflect on what has passed and what is to come. Sometimes, during these transitional days, people feel renewed, as if it's an opportunity to start anew, to dream and hope for better things in the future. The April sun, the sun of memories lingering in the hearts of every student, when the schoolyard is bustling with laughter and play. The sky is deep blue, and nature's picture is about to be painted with vibrant red flamboyant flowers, creating a beautiful and romantic image. The sound of cicadas in summer makes the space peaceful, containing a sea of subtle and lyrical sounds. April, the students begin preparing for the upcoming exam season. April is also a time of lingering emotions, a time when students reluctantly pass around their autograph books. That April, like a sweet memory, also held so much unspoken affection from our mischievous teenage years... full of love and sulking.
April – a beautiful and profound portrayal of life's movement. April teaches us to cherish the present moment, while remembering the past and looking forward with faith and hope. April is also a time of significant historical events. In Vietnamese culture and history, April holds many special imprints. These could be battles, wars that decided the fate of a nation, or unique cultural events. April includes the Liberation Day of the South and the reunification of the country – a momentous event for the nation and its people. April has a truly special day – the day our country entered a new chapter in history, a new era, an era of national independence and reunification, with the land united, North and South in complete joy.
April, like a rich and diverse chord, expresses the soaring and vibrant joy of reunification, but also carries within it the quiet and poignant melodies of remembrance. In the chord of April, there are notes of harmony, unity, and hope. It is the music of excitement, of joy at successes, of great strides in the development and prosperity of the nation.
April arrives, bringing with it a sense of wistfulness. In April, behind the triumphant songs of victory, there are still moments of silence. Behind those vibrant notes lie the quiet, poignant melodies of remembrance. In April, behind the stirring melody of "The Nation's Complete Joy": "The triumphant celebration fills the land with excitement. We want to fly, to gaze upon the majestic mountains and rivers. We want to shout, to sing the eternal song of Vietnam. The heroic Fatherland..." are sad notes, with images of heroes, those who sacrificed their lives and blood to protect and maintain the independence of their homeland. They are the sons and daughters of the nation, images that will never fade from the hearts of the people.
So April has arrived. A lingering, indescribable feeling. April is a time to reflect on the past and look forward with faith and hope. For me, April is not just sunshine and wind, not just dryness and harshness, but also a passionate month filled with many emotions because: "Oh April, how I love you so much / A sky, a touch of wistfulness / The shimmering sun leaves spring behind / I call summer in the falling tamarind leaves."
