"In the numbness there is no knowing
Your friends have all gone home.
Get ready to go
I'm so crazy right now
Come back early to plant some rice for me
Still waiting for some more waves!
Finished work and still have time to stay home
You guys take the opportunity to clean up..”
(End of year call)

| The Manh hopes that his Nghe poems will help everyone recall memories of their homeland, contributing to preserving and maintaining the Nghe dialect. |
Early this spring of the year of the Pig, The Manh happily announced that he has just released to his hometown readers his first product, a collection of 100 poems he composed recently.
Sharing his joy about his first brainchild, The Manh excitedly said: “I love my hometown's language and poetry, so I have written many poems in Nghe dialect and posted them online, which have been enthusiastically received by the online community. To preserve these poems, I have selected and published them into a collection of poems with a strong Nghe accent. I was quite nervous when the collection was published and very happy when readers enthusiastically received it."
The Manh said he hopes the poetry collection will bring everyone, especially Nghe people who love their "hometown language", an attractive gift from the countryside. "I hope everyone will enjoy their free time, recall memories of their hometown, and contribute to preserving and maintaining the Nghe language."
