After the success of Dong Vang Valley , writer Trung Sy returns to children's literature through Chien Binh Muop Coc , a story about the journey of growing up, friendship and kindness.

If Dong Vang Valley is a clear picture of a highland childhood, imbued with the breath of the land, the forest and the hard-working people, beautiful friendships, and unique cultural values, then the Cat Warrior opens up another space: the world of cats, both familiar and mysterious.

Before becoming Muop Coc, the little cat was Muop Xiu, born in the attic of an old warehouse. An incident caused him to lose his tail, bring with him a scar and a new name.

But from there, Muop Coc embarked on a journey of growing up, learning to survive, to love, and to become a warrior.

Trung Sy tells the story in a simple, thoughtful voice. In the world of Muop Coc, readers encounter fierce wars, friendships that transcend species boundaries, and heartbreaking losses.

Born in 1960, Trung Sy was a soldier, experienced the battlefield and had a long attachment to life in the northern mountainous region. It was his real-life experience, rich life experience and love of nature that created his own literary style: honest, kind and full of contemplation - Photo: NVCC

Behind it are reflections on freedom, compassion and the meaning of existence. Things not only for children, but also for adults who have lost faith in the goodness in life.

With The Cat Warrior , he not only tells a story about a cat, but also about humans, about how every small creature carries within it courage and the desire to live a meaningful life.

The book "Warrior of the Gourd" is expected to be released to readers by Tre Publishing House in the near future.
