Front page of Hue today Weekend No. 41

“When will October come…” is how author Huy Khanh used the name of a movie from a long time ago to talk about the expectation of the milestone of the health sector completing the plan to implement electronic medical records nationwide and the extremely favorable results that this policy brings.

“October has arrived. My heart is filled with hope and joy, sharing the happiness of many patients. Although on a national scale, for various objective and subjective reasons, the number of medical facilities implementing electronic medical records has only reached 50% by September 30. It is encouraging that beloved Hue is not among the 50% of provinces and cities that have “fallen behind”. With electronic medical records, patients not only reduce the burden of hospital admission and discharge procedures, but importantly, they also hope that their condition will be managed, monitored and treated more effectively…”, the author expressed.

In the Forum section, author Kim Oanh raises concerns about the issue of "Human resources for heritage cities." The author begins: "Recently, while researching enrollment information from the Hue College of Culture and Arts, I learned that for over 20 years, this institution has not enrolled a single class in traditional Vietnamese opera (tuong), even though it is the only institution in Hue and the Central region with the function of training in some specialized fields of Hue, including traditional Vietnamese opera." Then, moving on from the pride of Hue's cultural heritage with its rich tradition of Tuong (Vietnamese classical opera), the author reflects: "With its glorious history, the tireless efforts of those working in preservation, and the burning desire to revive court Tuong art in the hearts of generations of Tuong artists in Hue, the fact that the Hue College of Culture and Arts has not been able to enroll any Tuong students for the past 20 years is truly a cause for concern. How will the preservation and promotion of this precious cultural heritage be carried out when there is a shortage of successors?... Along with that concern is the question: What needs to be done to stimulate demand for Tuong art, from training and support mechanisms to job placement?...

“The 'young men' who play with books” is an inspiring piece of Hue today in Weekend No. 41, performed by author Phi Tan.

Telling interesting stories about the book collecting hobby of two "young men" of the 8x-9x generation, Van Dinh Huy and Do Minh Dien, the author spreads the message of the character Minh Dien: A book collector is not only to appreciate books, but also to love and cherish books. Every time I hold an old book in my hand, I think about the space and time that the book has gone through for decades, sometimes almost a century, from bombs and bullets of war, rain and sun, storms and floods, and the previous owners of the book who have preserved the book so that the book is still almost intact until now...
