"That morning, a morning filled with autumn mist and cold wind. My mother lovingly held my hand and led me on the long and narrow village road. I had walked this road many times, but this time I suddenly felt strange. The scenery around me had changed, because my heart was undergoing a big change: Today I was going to school." (Excerpt from the short story "I go to school" by writer Thanh Tinh). |
