Although practicing medicine, Dr. Do Hong Ngoc's books always have a certain attraction. Each of his books is born as a meaningful spiritual gift for readers of all ages and backgrounds. The publication Story of the Past is such a gift.

On August 10, at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street, Phanbook Company organized an exchange program to introduce the publication Story of the Past (Vietnamese Women Publishing House) by Dr. Do Hong Ngoc. Not only stopping at the stories in the book, the program also opened up simple but profound sharing about life experiences, career, and values ​​that the author has summarized in his long journey of being attached to people and life.

The book is not written in the usual memoir style, but is a collection of simple stories, imbued with contemplation distilled over the years the author has lived with literature, medicine, Buddhism and meditation.

Stories from back then are old stories told in a humorous, simple voice by the author - Dr. Do Hong Ngoc. Among them, there are stories that are simply childhood memories, there are shares that are "passing on experiences", at the same time, there are many stories that were written for the author by friends, colleagues and the press, now arranged into a seamless memoir that goes through the stages: A little bit of me ; Profession and career ; Teaching to learn ; Going to learn;... That is also the reason why the book is called Stories from back then - Back then, not Memoirs - as the author himself emphasized.
