Due to the nature of my work, with many social activities, especially in implementing social security policies, humanitarian and charitable activities, I have been to almost every commune, ward and town in the province. With enthusiasm, knowledge and understanding of society, although writing is not my forte, I wanted to try my hand at a new field, so I started practicing writing for newspapers.
The first time I wrote an article, I had to edit and rewrite it many times, and finally completed the work and boldly sent it to the editorial office for collaboration. At that time, I was not confident that my work would be used. Because this was the first time I used journalistic language, the sentences and writing style were still awkward, while the editorial office had a strong and experienced team of reporters and collaborators. This was really a big challenge for a newbie like me. To be able to write, I read a lot of news and articles in newspapers, learned about the motifs of news genres, articles, reports, etc., how to write to attract readers while ensuring the accuracy of the content I wanted to convey. After a period of practice, I started to write "hands on" and almost all the news and articles I sent to collaborate were published. This was a great joy and also the motivation for me to become a long-time collaborator of Binh Phuoc Newspaper.
Since then, after each business trip, participating in social activities or each time I come into contact with difficult lives, I have more material to write. Although I am busy with many professional tasks, I still take time to write collaborative articles; consider writing news and articles as a daily habit. From writing short news, I boldly tried my hand at writing long articles, addressing many topics, aspects of life, empathy, and deep sharing of social issues, as well as difficult circumstances.
Many of my articles have been published on the front page of the newspaper, helping to spread positive things and deeply reflect the negative aspects of society. Among them, there is an article I wrote about implementing social security policies for the poor. This is an article that took me a lot of time to do in the field, because I wanted to convey in the most truthful and vivid way real stories of real people, real events; about the miserable lives in today's life, the hidden corners in implementing poverty reduction policies that have not been clarified. Or articles about caring for ethnic minorities in remote, isolated, border areas of Loc Ninh, Bu Dop, Bu Gia Map districts - where I did not hesitate to face difficulties, long and arduous journeys to get accurate information, documents, authentic images and unforgettable emotions.
Although I am not a professional writer, I always want to try my hand at topics that are deeply humane and related to real life. Through my works, I have contributed to more accurately reflecting the efforts of the locality, spreading examples of good people - good deeds and, together with the team of reporters, building a healthy and positive press environment. Some of my articles reflecting on the shortcomings in implementing the State's policies, laws and guidelines into real life after participating in inspection and supervision delegations were published, contributing to helping authorities at all levels to recognize and re-evaluate management and operation work in accordance with reality.
Although I am not a journalist, I always write with the heart and responsibility of a “storyteller” in everyday life. Up to now, after nearly 20 years of working as a collaborator, I have learned and gained a lot of experience from reporters and from real life, thereby helping me have a multi-dimensional view of all aspects of society. That is not only an achievement but also a pride to be able to contribute my small part to the cause of revolutionary journalism in Vietnam. Although I am only a collaborator of Binh Phuoc Newspaper, I have experienced being a real journalist - “amateur journalist”.
