Class 8A8 of Le Quy Don Secondary School – Cau Giay District explores Vietnamese literature at the Vietnam Literature Museum.

The teacher and students were initially overwhelmed and surprised by the scene at the Vietnam Literature Museum.

To begin the program, the students and their teacher were guided by a literary tour officer to the sculpture garden, which features 20 bronze statues of prominent national cultural figures. Here, the students and their teacher listened to stories about the renowned figure Le Quy Don, nicknamed the "child prodigy of Son Nam," who successfully answered a riddle posed by a friend of his father at the young age of seven.

Next comes the journey of carrying the burdens of heart and talent into the Temple of Literature at the Vietnam Literature Museum.

Here, students and teachers learned about the development of Vietnamese writing, from Chinese characters and Nôm script to the current Quốc ngữ (modern Vietnamese alphabet). They heard about the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" – the first Declaration of Independence of our country… The period of classical and medieval literature was summarized in nearly 30 minutes of experiential learning. In particular, students and teachers listened to beautiful poems about the Tale of Kieu, especially a poem adapted into easily understandable lục bát (six-eight syllable) verse by the author Do Anh Vu – a poet and Doctor of Literature.

Also at the program, the students and their teacher watched a short play, "Chi Pheo," a representative excerpt reflecting the dark period of life in our country during the years 1930-1945. Faced with this bleak social situation, President Ho Chi Minh found a path to national liberation, and one of the weapons in that struggle was the writings and literary works currently on display at the Vietnam Literature Museum.

The students participated in an exciting literary tour. They also had the opportunity to hear from two guest speakers, poet and doctor Do Anh Vu and poet Lu Mai, who shared the touching story of the poet Xuan Quynh and playwright Luu Quang Vu. Afterwards, everyone joined in singing the song "Boat and Sea," set to Xuan Quynh's poem, right in the exhibition space.

At the end of the session, the students participated in a crossword puzzle activity and stamped their "Heart - Talent" on traditional Vietnamese paper. Those who solved the puzzles quickly received prizes from the program.

The teachers and students of Le Quy Don Secondary School shared their sincere feelings about the experience: the learning experience was really interesting and engaging; we understood and gained more knowledge for our literature subject and developed a greater love for our national literature.
