The melodies resonate in "Bare feet are like that, rustic"

With a rustic, gentle voice, author Moc Nhien ( Thai Nguyen City) lets readers "swim" on the river of memories, returning to the countryside's straw, the smell of smoke from leaves, or the brick yard with the shadow of father, the gourd trellis with the figure of mother in the past... through 29 essays in the collection "Bare feet are just like that, rustic" , published by the Writers' Association Publishing House.

The very familiar memories in the collection of essays have touched the readers' emotions, so that each person has the opportunity to return to their roots, to love more, to cherish more the simple, familiar things around them. We are moved to tears remembering the hard-working mother in the countryside when reading "What's in Mother's Pocket": "A mother's heart is also like that for a lifetime, a lifetime of sacrifice, even though her whole body is worn out, she still tries to protect her child in her warm, intact arms". In "Happy Gourd Trellis", readers are "bathed" in the sweetness of family love: "Father's hands planted and meticulously cared for a bountiful gourd harvest, mother's hands picked the fruit every day with a heart full of happiness"...

Many writers, when reading Moc Nhien's essays, commented that this young author has beautiful, soaring language that brings lyricism to each piece of writing. This makes Moc Nhien's essays popular with readers even though the author writes about topics that are not new. Reading "Containing the whole sunset" by Moc Nhien, I was extremely delighted with the lines: "The thick, patchy mud stains cling to the hem of my pants, to my heels, making me laugh out loud and dirty. The mimosa tree... The round, purple-hearted flowers, the leaves curl up, looking at each other and then at me, shyly and embarrassed"...

Essays are a difficult genre to write, because they require brevity, but the sentences must be soft, flexible and clearly convey the message through the author's emotions, memories, and memorable experiences. Loving the homeland and having a sensitive heart, a soul always full of emotions, those are the reasons why Moc Nhien's essays touch the hearts of many people.
