"Ms. Xuan Quynh and Mr. Luu Quang Vu have passed away for a long time, but I always feel like they are still here, living forever in my heart and in the hearts of those who admire them. The moment when the cake celebrating Ms. Quynh's 80th birthday was brought up, the audience at the Hanoi Opera House together wished Xuan Quynh a happy birthday, I could not hold back my tears. Reading the letters they sent each other for two nights, I was choked up in my heart.

I have always dreamed that one day in Hanoi there will be a Luu Quang Vu - Xuan Quynh museum. Or the attic where they lived will be recreated in a realistic way so that audiences and foreign tourists can get to know them. There, in a small room of only 6 square meters, there are two big hearts, two souls who love art, love life, together to write a beautiful love story and create unique plays and poems for the country's literature", People's Artist Lan Huong emotionally shared withVietnamese People.

Participating for the first time in an art program that combines poetry, music and drama, Indie singer Mac Mai Suong said that this was a special memory in her singing career. On the first night of performing at the Hanoi Opera House, Mac Mai Suong could not hide her excitement when performing the songLate Autumn Love Poems. Mac Mai Suong said that on the first night she chose a long, flowing white dress and used a wig to make her image more suitable for the lyrical song and closer to the audience: "I think the audience will expect a strong feminine image when coming to a program dedicated to the poet Xuan Quynh. But that makes me not confident and comfortable when performing the song."

On the night of October 6, Mac Mai Suong completely "transformed", she was not afraid to have a personality-filled short haircut and chose the right style of outfit to confidently perform the song.Late Autumn Love Poemsin front of the audience. "Before singing this song, I did not hesitate to share about my hair with the audience. The femininity I am talking about is also the femininity that poet Xuan Quynh mentioned many times. That is when a woman dares to be honest with herself and her feelings. So, whether she has short hair or long hair is not very important. As long as I am firmly myself, everything I do will always be better."
