Each individual journey is filled with love for the city.

To have a "First Spring," the joyful waltz of composer Van Cao on the day of national reunification, we had countless heroic anthems and marches sung throughout the smoke-filled Truong Son mountain range, in the Mekong Delta, and in the North, the great rear base, rebuilding under the enemy's bombs and bullets. The sacred and just resistance of generations of Vietnamese people was a path through countless hardships and sacrifices to achieve peace; so much blood and tears flowed across all regions to create our beloved, unified Vietnam.

In the spirit of celebrating the 50th anniversary of national reunification, a literary writing camp with the theme "Da Lat 50 Years After Liberation" was organized. With the participation of 15 campers, the camp, held over a short period (from April 2nd to April 11th, 2025), organized by the Da Lat Literature Branch of the Lam Dong Literature and Arts Association, received 10 prose works (including 2 short stories, 2 literary criticisms, and 6 essays) and 40 poems.

Lam Dong Weekend proudly presents a few works transferred from the writing camp.

NGUYEN MAU PHAP

Da Lat during the changing seasons

Fifty years have passed.

Da Lat, the city of a thousand flowers.

Reaching out in the cold sun

Ignite the pride

City of Flower Festivals

Peaceful city

City of Music

My hometown city bursts into song.

A land of happiness and peace.

Dalat, a city of genuine affection.

A night of shimmering, magical dreams.

The waterfall in the vast forest surges forth, a life-giving force.

Carrying the golden moonlight, echoing a joyful song.

Who has passed by?

And then return

Pick up a little bit of lingering affection.

Where the dew drops still sleep soundly on the wild grass

Suddenly feeling lightheaded.

Da Lat during the changing seasons

PHAM VINH

Highland Windflower

Flower Lover

The wind fulfilled the vow.

The wind carries the scent of flowers, a deep and passionate love.

Flower Wind

Proud Windflower

Embroidered flowers in earthy, windy colors blended with the hues of the sky.

Flower Wind

The wind carries the words of the flower.

Legendary trading village in the epic mountains and hills.

Long live!

Dalat in springtime

Visitors from all over the world find their way back and forth.

Please don't

Blame those passions

Having just climbed the mountain, I was already looking forward to going back to chase the clouds.

One day

The wind-blown flowers become even more intoxicating.

The forest rustles, the stream flows, and the mist drifts dreamily.

The lake remains

Waves ripple, lanterns float.

Their destined love has not yet reached its destination.

Streets in music

Roads in poetry

The vast expanse of flowers in the wind awaits a love song.

Baggage

We made a date together.

Come back soon, lest the wind and flowers wait for you.
