Excerpt from Phan Thi Le's competition entry.

From a young age, I inherited a love for the Russian language from my grandfather – a Russian language teacher. In junior high school, I chose to study Russian at Dang Thai Mai High School to fulfill my passion for the language of the land of the White Birch.

For Le, the Russian language wasn't just about written words; it came alive through stories of Russia's Great Patriotic War and the Russian books her grandfather used to read. From there, she fell in love with the Russian language and Russia, with songs like "Goodbye, Slav Girl," and "Moscow Suburbs in the Evening"...

Currently, Le is a student in the specialized Russian class at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted and a member of the national Russian language team. Winning an award in the "Talented Fairy Tale Storyteller" translation competition has further motivated Le to pursue her passion and love for the Russian language.
