After the April 30th celebration, readers are eagerly looking forward to May 7th to learn about the Dien Bien Phu victory that "resounded throughout the five continents and shook the world". For many years now, publishing units such as the People's Army Publishing House, the Truth National Political Publishing House, the Youth Publishing House, the Kim Dong Publishing House... have been regularly publishing and republishing books about Dien Bien Phu in various genres, from research works, memoirs, memoirs, to poetry, novels... With the desire to equip young readers with historical knowledge, educate patriotism, remind them of gratitude to previous generations and cherish today's peace and happiness, the "golden history" of Dien Bien Phu continues to be reproduced in many pages of books with eye-catching forms, concise, easy-to-read and easy-to-remember content.
Among them, “70 questions and answers about the Dien Bien Phu victory” is a book that cannot be missed if young readers want to learn about the places, heroic examples, martyrs or about the campaigns, tactics... The book is considered a useful handbook with a simple and familiar presentation. Besides, there are picture books and picture books about Dien Bien Phu with eye-catching and attractive forms. Writer Huu Mai, one of the famous authors on the subject of war with “The Last High Point”, “Sky Zone”, “The Advisor”... and the person who vividly presented the memoirs of General Vo Nguyen Giap such as “From the People”, “Unforgettable Years”, “Fighting in the Siege”, “The Road to Dien Bien Phu”, “Dien Bien Phu - Historical Rendezvous”, has “Tell the Story of Dien Bien Phu” to young readers with a concise and attractive writing style. The comic book "Telling the Story of Dien Bien Phu" told by writer Huu Mai has been reprinted many times with many elaborate and vivid illustrated versions.
Writer Huu Mai continued to tell the story of Dien Bien in the book “Our Dien Bien Phu” (many authors): “From the beautiful capital, the silver wings of a civil aviation plane cut through the wind, taking us to the Northwest of the Fatherland. An hour later, a vast field appeared in the middle of the green mountains and sea. You have arrived at the heroic land of Dien Bien Phu...”. Next, through the short story collection “The Watch Repairman at Tunnel No. 1”, readers “meet” the Dien Bien soldiers who were resilient and brave in the face of falling bombs and exploding bullets, but were simple and kind in every moment of everyday life.
Bringing Dien Bien Phu to young readers also has many memories told briefly, full of emotion, with illustrations and pictures. That is the book "Sketches in the trenches - War diary of a young soldier in the Dien Bien Phu campaign" by artist - war reporter Pham Thanh Tam with sketches that are rare documents left from the battlefield. There are the memoirs "Dien Bien memories" and "The crimson standard flag" as character memoirs about the portraits that participated and contributed to the Dien Bien Phu victory. Or the book “The Dien Bien Soldier Tells a Story” by the excellent teacher Do Ca Son, who was a soldier fighting at Hill A1 in Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Journalist Kieu Mai Son re-enacted Mr. Do Ca Son’s story with very sincere sentences: “I do not tell the history of the campaign, do not tell about the developments of the campaign, but I tell stories about how we soldiers in Regiment 174 of Division 316 fought, how we lived during those 56 days and nights. The fight over 56 days and nights was so vivid that many of my comrades have fallen, and cannot be told anymore. Those who are still alive do not want to tell about themselves, and sometimes do not know how to tell about themselves, even though they are brave soldiers - real brave soldiers on Hill A1 and around Hill A1”.
In addition, there are many literary and poetic pages about Dien Bien suitable for young readers. We can mention the short story collection "Dien Bien Memories" which selects many good works about Dien Bien such as "Black Prisoner", "Pulling Cannon", "Breakthrough", "Bomb Dismantling Soldier"; the poetry collection "Dien Bien Victory, Dien Bien Poetry" introduces poems "following the years" by President Ho Chi Minh and poets To Huu, Chinh Huu, Che Lan Vien, Nguyen Dinh Thi, Anh Ngoc, Hoang Nhuan Cam...; the novels "The Other Side of the Mountain", "People and People"; or picture books about the characters "Phan Dinh Giot", "Be Van Dan", "To Vinh Dien"... Especially worth mentioning is the long story "The Season of Ban Changing Clothes" by an author born and raised in peace. Born in 1995 in Nghe An, author Phan Duc Loc graduated from the People's Police Academy and then worked in Dien Bien. He shared: “In the six years I have lived and worked in Dien Bien, I have always cherished the idea of writing a book about this sacred land. It is as if in my chest, a small Ban seed is restlessly stirring, urging me to pick up the pen. When the experience is ripe enough, the feeling is enough, I put the things that impressed me into the long story “The season of Ban changing clothes”, so natural and simple. And I wonder, does the Ban tree have a heart or does my heart just grow a Ban tree?”.
I believe that, with the attention of readers, there will appear more and more authors like writer Phan Duc Loc, who, although not experiencing the war, continue to write about the war through research documents and with the gratitude of young people for the contributions and sacrifices of the previous generation.
