| The photo of Vo Thanh Trung kissing his grandfather, General Vo Nguyen Giap, was taken in 1996. |
On his personal page, Vo Thanh Trung - the son of Vo Hong Nam (the youngest son of General Vo Nguyen Giap) and Mrs. Mac Thuy Huong - tearfully recounted the most beautiful moment of his life: "Grandpa, why does my heart ache? One winter day in 1996, after receiving guests, you called me over when you saw me playing in the garden, 'Give me a kiss,' and pulled me closer."
I probably won't remember this moment with my not-so-good memory after 17 years. Luckily, at that moment, an elderly gentleman in the tour group used a telephoto lens to capture it. Sometimes, the most beautiful moments of a person's life are captured by a stranger. I miss you, Grandpa!
"Thank you for taking this picture. My father has 21 photos in total. If anyone knows who took this collection, could you please help me find the remaining ones? Thank you everyone."
As for Vo Hoai Nam - Vo Thanh Trung's older brother - "time seems to have stopped," Nam wrote on his personal page.
