On June 24, in Hanoi, the Vietnam Education Publishing House (NXBGDVN) in collaboration with the Embassy of Chile organized a ceremony to announce the official availability of the classic Chilean children's book series - Papelucho in Vietnam. The program was attended by Mr. Sergio Narea Guzman - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Chile to Vietnam; Mr. Nguyen Tien Thanh - Chairman of the Board of Members, General Director of the Vietnam Education Publishing House; representatives of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , the Vietnam Writers' Association, representatives of embassies of several countries...
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Tien Thanh expressed that this is not only a publishing event, but also the result of a strong connection between two cultures, two countries Vietnam and Chile, through a special bridge - children's literature.
Papelucho – a boy with a rich imagination, a sensitive soul and a humorous way of speaking – has become a symbol of childhood in the hearts of many generations of Chilean readers. Bringing this series closer to Vietnamese readers, especially children, not only helps them access a rich cultural treasure, but also opens up opportunities for them to explore , sympathize and develop their thinking through simple yet profound stories.
This is the result of a positive and goodwill cooperation journey between the Vietnam Education Publishing House, the Chilean Embassy in Vietnam, and the support of Phuong NamEducation Investment and Development Joint Stock Company - the official publisher of the book series. Introducing Papelucho to young Vietnamese readers not only aims to enrich the children's bookshelf, but also demonstrates a new direction in the product internationalization strategy, bringing Vietnamese readers closer to the cultural quintessence of humanity.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Sergio Narea, Chilean Ambassador to Vietnam, highly appreciated the cooperation efforts between the two sides and congratulated the completion of the translation of the next two books in the series.
"I believe that today's event is a clear demonstration of the deep cultural cooperation between Vietnam and Chile. For me personally, this is also the most meaningful way to demonstrate my mission, in the last days before the end of my term of office in Vietnam," said the Chilean Ambassador to Vietnam.
On this occasion, poet Tran Dang Khoa, former Vice President of the Vietnam Writers Association, confided: "It is a great pleasure to witness a meaningful connection between the Embassy of Chile and the Vietnam Education Publishing House. Papelucho is a book series that was published in the 1940s of the last century, but until now, it still retains its appeal and freshness in every word - as if the author had just written it not long ago."
Poet Tran Dang Khoa also believes that writing for children is one of the biggest challenges for writers, because writers not only need to understand children but also empathize with adults. A true children's work is one that both children and adults can enjoy reading. Because in every child there is an adult in the making, and in every adult there is a child who never grows old.
At the ceremony, the Vietnam Education Publishing House announced its plan to release the entire set of 12 Papelucho books in the near future, affirming the pioneering role of the Vietnam Education Publishing House in integrating international publishing trends, bringing Vietnamese young readers books rich in humanistic values.
Papelucho consists of 12 volumes, telling everyday stories from the innocent and delicate perspective of an 8-year-old Chilean boy - imaginative, humorous, mischievous but profound and emotional. He records all his thoughts, experiences and secrets in a diary, from which he forms a classic children's literature work, loved in Chile and many other countries.
Author Marcela Paz has created a character who is not idealistic but real like any other child in real life – knows anger, knows how to argue, but always longs to be loved and understood. The special feature of Papelucho is the diary form – close, easy to read, inspiring children to write their own stories.
Papelucho has made many readers exclaim: “I feel like I am reading the diary of a real child.” The series promises to open up a familiar world where childhood is cherished, and at the same time become an inspiring companion for Vietnamese children.
