Artists and writers of the mining region
*****
Literature, poetry, and life
The soul of Ha Long: Paintings and architecture imbued with love.
Compassion, art awaits
In the ways of the world, maintain a peaceful mind.
The storms and tribulations of life
Heart in the brushstrokes, soaring amidst the heavens.
Quang Ninh resounds with songs.
The vastness of heaven and earth overflows with heartfelt affection.
The sacred Yen Tu mountain is undergoing a transformation.
The shimmering black gold and silver sea reflect the image.
People cherish peace.
Living the life of an artist, I find myself dreaming.
Talented poets compose verses.
May life remain beautiful forever, and may the future be bright./.

Hong Gai's poem "Artists of the Mining Region" is a tribute to the artists of Quang Ninh province – a land that possesses both the majestic beauty of nature and the profound cultural and historical depth and vitality of its working people.
From the very opening lines, the author evokes the world of literature, painting, and architecture – fields that contribute to the spiritual identity of a land: “Literature, poetry, and human life / The soul of painting and architecture imbued with the love of Ha Long.” Art in the poem is not seen as extravagance, but as the voice of life, a place to express love for people and homeland.
The image of the artist emerges with two core qualities: compassion and clarity of mind in the face of life. "Through the storms of life / A pure heart and sharp pen, soaring amidst the heavens" - this is a beautiful concept of a writer who, despite going through upheavals, maintains the purity of soul and the sharpness of creativity.
The highlight of the poem lies in the love for the mining region. Quang Ninh is presented not only with the "black gold" of coal and the "silver sea" of the ocean, but also as a land of culture and spiritual values nurtured over the years. From Ha Long to Yen Tu, from the natural scenery to the spiritual depth, everything becomes a source of inspiration for the artist's creation.
The poem has a gentle, heartfelt tone, not overly elaborate in technique but rich in emotion. It expresses the heartfelt appreciation for those who are silently beautifying their homeland with words, colors, melodies, and works of art.
It can be said that "Artists and Writers of the Mining Region" is not only about artists, but also about the connection between people and the land. Because a land that wants to live on in memory needs not only constructions, coal mines, and newly opened roads, but also people who know how to preserve its soul through art.
