I have many options when collaborating with newspapers, but Quang Nam newspaper is always my first choice, although sometimes I am afraid that my articles will be lost. The newspaper is quite strict. Just a paragraph, let alone the whole article, that has been published elsewhere can easily be rejected. In return, the newspaper has a very dedicated editorial board, contributing to breathing life into the articles. Although it is a provincial newspaper, the number of collaborators is large, so there are not many orders (except in special cases).
Luckily, as scheduled, I was still able to contribute to major holidays and important events of the country. Perhaps it was because the field I collaborated on was often unique. Revolutionary wars and generals both required accurate data, and opportunities to approach characters were difficult, so writing an article required a lot of effort.
Quang Nam, the land of bravery and resilience, where heroes are everywhere, has always been my endless subject. “The House of 14 Martyrs”, “The House of Three Heroes”, “The House of Three Generations of Heroic Vietnamese Mothers”…, have brought readers moving discoveries .
Once a reader in the province called me and asked: “Where did you find such good characters?” Well, they were in my hometown. They are still here, but it was not until 30 years after the liberation that the writer met them and brought them to the community…
I am proud that I have not written anything wrong, related to data, identity, events, affecting the reputation of the newspaper. In the section on generals and heroes of Quang Nam, I have many advantages because I have the opportunity to meet and exploit rich documents.
Many times, when I was away, I asked Ms. Trinh Thi Lam - Administrative - Political Department to send newspapers to my characters and always received enthusiastic support. At the same time, she confided that articles about the revolutionary war made us more proud of our homeland, helping her was contributing to gratitude to the uncles and aunts who went before.
Every year, I look forward to October to attend the conference of contributors organized by the newspaper. The car picks up the senior contributors in Da Nang . We have meaningful moments of reunion.
Quang Nam Newspaper is different from many other places I have attended. The newspaper always prioritizes new elements, especially young contributors. From the conference to the luncheon, the atmosphere was sincere and bustling, everyone felt like family. That made us love the editorial board and our colleagues more, giving us more motivation to collaborate so that next year we can be together again.
I remember most the happy Tet holidays when I was present in the spring edition. Without any bias towards "big trees, big trees" or any position, the newspaper only used articles that were already in the topic set out a few months ago and guaranteed the quality. Therefore, everyone could contribute, creating a lively, fresh content and writing style, making the spring special edition always awaited by readers.
Life is full of changes, and we will gradually adapt. But the sweet memories of Quang Nam newspaper will forever remain in my heart.
