In the first printing, The Neighbor Girl and the Four Candies was printed a total of 80,000 copies (including 60,000 paperback copies and 20,000 special hardcover color copies). The work was officially released nationwide from November 28.
The Neighbor Girl and the Four Candies continues to be a series of clear pages about childhood, friendship, family love and simple kindness; promoting the spirit of goodness, arousing compassion in readers like the red thread running through the works of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh.
With The Little Neighbor Girl and the Four Candies , readers will see the good deeds between people even in difficult circumstances. Kindness is the most beautiful filter, allowing us to ignore differences to look deep into each other's souls, sharing joys and sorrows.
In The Neighbor Girl and the Four Candies , writer Nguyen Nhat Anh chose the setting as Ho Chi Minh City in the 80s of the last century. Turning each page of the book, readers will encounter images associated with memories of a time, and arousing the curiosity of today's youth: Palikao Bridge, old-style apartments and neighborly affection, the golden age of newspapers with columns that readers look forward to every day...
In particular, readers will also recognize the familiarity when the main characters in the work are also the characters of I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass . They are Thieu, Tuong, and Man.
However, according to writer Nguyen Nhat Anh, calling The Neighbor Girl and the Four Candies part 2 of I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass is not accurate.
“Because part 2 is often a continuation of situations and events that were not resolved in part 1. In fact, I see yellow flowers on green grass as an independent work, ending like that can also be called complete, from a literary point of view, it is a complete work, there is no need for a part 2”, writer Nguyen Nhat Anh explained.
When writing The Neighbor Girl and the Four Candies , writer Nguyen Nhat Anh wanted to recreate the context of Ho Chi Minh City in the 80s, when the country had just gone through war and life was still difficult. That is an experience that now has many stories worth remembering and telling, especially for a writer, who has an advantage over those who do not hold a pen.
In order to join hands to help the people of the Central region affected by storms and floods to overcome the difficult period soon, writer Nguyen Nhat Anh has deducted 80 million VND from royalties to share through the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City.
The Tre Publishing House also donated 100 million VND. Ms. Phan Thi Thu Ha, Director - Editor-in-Chief of Tre Publishing House, said that, in addition to writer Nguyen Nhat Anh, other writers who wish to support and help the people of Central Vietnam can join hands with Tre Publishing House.
