In 2021, the United Nations enumerates today's world with 195 countries. For the first time in human history, countries worldwide have suffered the same fate of the COVID-19 pandemic in a comprehensive, incomparable way, regardless of skin color, history, inclination, or race. Although only a few countries did not publicly report pandemic data, as the world was not informed, it was not a place that could maintain the "no infection" condition.

Standing on Gia Vien bridge and look northwards on a sunny day, I saw River Huong was supported with different colors: yellow of the Golden Shower tree, scarlet of the Flamboyant, velvet of the crape-myrtle, blue of the sky and green of water. It made me think of a picture of happiness and well-being in the deep memory of more than thirty years: Sinh paintings.

The area of Thua Thien Hue passing through Huong Tra is truly a sequence of magical sites of heaven and earth. From low to high, the land starts from the sea, where the waves rumble, to the vast lagoon with the silver moon shining on the water, to the fertile plains of corn and rice, to the green midland at the foot of the mountain and the lush green hills ascending to high mountain peaks.
