“Letters Embracing You” (Dan Tri Publishing House, 2023) is a book about the topic of dialogue between generations in the family - the source of life and love - sent by author Dinh Hoang Anh into emotional and sincere “letters”.
Author Dinh Hoang Anh is a PhD in Mathematics, graduated from Belarus State University, and taught at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Therefore, Dinh Hoang Anh's writing style is concise, bringing a new perspective on the relationship between parents and children...
“Talking to children” does not need to talk about courage, honesty, love, joy… parents should live courageously, honestly, love selflessly, and know how to be happy in the present. If you do talk, talk about your shortcomings, failures, mistakes, difficulties… so that children can avoid them, learn from their experiences, and gain insight into life.
“The current wayof education …” is taking away so much joy, confidence and uniqueness from each child… So let them grow naturally like healthy young plants and the flowers will bloom on the day the plant chooses, not according to the plan of the grower. Only then will the flowers release their full potential fragrance, and live fully the life flowing within them.
“Children are not something to be saved” - first of all, children are people, not material possessions. Second, why save and what to save? Live and enjoy right away with care, love, worries, insomnia, hardships, sweat, tears and smiles... Because that is the presence and deep feeling of life. “Love or debt?” - we are often reminded of the immense merit of our parents, and in turn, we will remind our children of that.
It is important to understand that the nature of love is to forget oneself, not to expect anything from the person you love, simply to enjoy the divine grace in the presence of the person you love in this world. And the same is true of the love parents have for their children.
Reading “Letters Embracing You” also has many emotions throughout the 3 main thematic parts: “Messages from life” with the first 24 letters being the feelings and emotions from many stories between generations that everyone carries in their hearts.
Like a wound or a lingering love, a road, a row of trees, a flower, a tear… from the stories we have heard, the people we have met… all leave messages about love and pain, about limits and freedom, about attachment and separation, about many truths that need to be told to unleash the flow of true love in the family.
The next 24 letters in the second part of “Generations of Concern” will answer specific questions about problems encountered in life. These can be the eternal complaints of parents or children.
The author patiently uses the stories to explain the destination message of accepting and loving each other exactly as we are, with sincerity and sympathy, without being buried in the schemes and illusions of life.
And each generation should feel its own happiness. “Simple Flowers” is a reflection, an awareness of what happens in life, leaving a profound lesson, contributing to the training of thinking and perception that is very useful for readers. When our eyes and hearts are open, all the truths of life will bloom on our path.
Author Dinh Hoang Anh shared in the book's introduction: "I send you these letters to share my personal experiences, feelings, and understanding of how we can recognize the light of love in each person, and learn how to tap into the endless stream of love flowing through generations, especially in the sacred affection between parents and children."
