An orphaned girl from Nghe An province moves hearts with her letter to her mother.
(Baonghean.vn) - "My mother is not wet, not cold, my mother has become the blue sky, the white clouds. And I believe, my mother will not be cold when it rains, right, Mom?" - these are the touching words of a student to his mother who passed away due to the disease of the century.
These days, netizens are sharing a letter written to their mothers by two students from Dien Ky Secondary School in Dien Chau district. The letter expresses the feelings and thoughts of daughters to their mothers, who have passed away prematurely.
These are letters written in the "Letters to Mom" contest organized by Dien Ky Secondary School in collaboration with the "For My Efforts" Fund, founded by former students of the school. Although the contest only lasted a short time, the organizing committee received nearly one hundred letters from students in grades 6-9. The five best letters advanced to the final round and were awarded prizes.

The first prize-winning letter was written by Kieu Anh, a student in class 7A. Shortly after her birth, her father passed away due to a serious illness. When Kieu Anh was four years old, her mother also died. Living as an orphan and facing social isolation, Kieu Anh was very sad for a time. But through her determination and perseverance, she rose above her circumstances and became an exemplary student, consistently achieving excellent grades for many years and is currently selected for the school's team to participate in the Dien Chau District Student Excellence Competition.

Reading the letter she sent reveals her boundless love for her unfortunate mother: "Every time I see a friend being caressed by their mother, my heart aches thinking of my mother. I think of the days when I was also comforted and loved by my mother like that. At those times, tears silently stream down my face. I fear rainy nights the most; I don't know why nighttime rain makes me so sad! I'm afraid my mother will get wet, I'm afraid she'll get cold, I'm afraid of so many things but I don't dare say them out loud. I confided in my literature teacher, and she kindly told me: 'Your mother won't get wet, she won't get cold; your mother has become the blue sky, the white clouds.' And I believe... Mom won't be cold when it rains, right, Mom?"
Besides that, a letter to her mother from Nguyen Hang, a 9th-grade student, has also received hundreds of shares from netizens. Hang lost her mother two years ago, and during that time, "the biggest change was that we had to get used to the feeling of Mom being gone. I still remember the first few months after Mom truly left us; our lives were turned upside down. Even during meals, I had a very strange feeling. Every time, out of habit, I would set out extra bowls and chopsticks. From four bowls, there were only three; from four pairs of chopsticks, there were only three; from four people, there were only three. So no matter which side I sat on, I felt unbalanced. It was just a small task of setting out bowls, but it was so difficult for me, Mom! So, Dad told me to set out all the bowls and chopsticks for Mom so she could come back and eat with us."

Reading these letters on the Facebook page "Generations of Dien Ky - Dien Chau Secondary School Students," hundreds of shares and thousands of comments have been sent in, hoping the students will persevere through their grief. Ms. Huong Ngo, a former student of the school, wrote: "I truly couldn't hold back my emotions when reading these essays. The writing is full of emotion and authentic in every detail."
Teacher Ngo Thi Toan from Dien Chau shared: "Perhaps for us literature teachers, reading these letters from the students of Dien Ky makes us love the teaching profession even more. The students' feelings are sincere, profound, and a little naive – truly adorable."
Journalist Dinh Thang, a former student of the school and the initiator of the competition, wrote: "Each letter is not just about emotion. It's also about the strength to overcome obstacles."
Ms. Nguyen Quynh Lien, Principal of Dien Ky Secondary School, said: "Although it only took place for a short time, the success exceeded expectations. The 5 finalists represent 5 faces, 5 pure and genuine emotions that are truly heartwarming! Through this, it was also an opportunity for the students to express their gratitude, share their feelings, and send a heartfelt gift to their beloved mothers."
It is known that on the morning of March 28th, the competition organizers awarded prizes to the outstanding works. After posting 5 entries to the final round of the "Letter to Mother" competition, the organizers also received much affection and support from former students of the school. In addition, an anonymous poet also donated 1 million VND for each entry, and 200,000 VND for each prize-winning entry.
