Excerpt from Phan Thi Le's contest entry.

Since I was a child, I was soon instilled with a love for Russian by my grandfather, a Russian teacher. In junior high school, I chose to study Russian at Dang Thai Mai School to satisfy my passion for the language of the land of the White Birch.

For Le, Russian is not only about letters, but it also appears vividly through stories about Russia's great patriotic war and the Russian books that his grandfather often told him. From then on, he fell in love with the Russian language and Russia with songs like Goodbye Slav girl, Afternoon on the outskirts of Moscow...

Currently, Le is a student in the Russian class at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted and a member of the Russian national team. Winning the prize in the translation contest “Talented Fairy Tale Teller” has given Le more motivation to pursue his passion and love for the Russian language.
