From the window of this room, we have watched countless seasons of blooming flowers of the old Lagerstroemia tree in the corner of the wall still reaching out to the sun. This summer, clusters of purple flowers are still swaying in the green canopy; but behind the wide open windows, soon, we will no longer be standing there... The seasons of flowers have become purple in our memories, hard to forget!
We - young people and once very young people, just graduated from university, were so excited when Vinh Phuc Newspaper accepted us for a trial period. We hesitantly stepped into the editorial office with so much joy, pride and confusion. Now, we are preparing for a departure. Maybe for someone, this is a normal change in the mechanism. But for us, more than a decade of being absorbed in the journey of "one route - two destinations"... this is not simply leaving a job, but leaving a home...
Our entire youth and youth were left here. It was here that we grew up, matured, and became steady in our expertise and profession. Our uncles and seniors guided us through every word, every professional principle, corrected every headline, adjusted every photo angle... It was also here that we spent together the busy days of the peak propaganda season, sleepless nights with the manuscript, waiting for editing, making mockups to publish special issues in time.
We were both happy and joyful when our articles helped revive lives. We also cried many times when we received news that our colleagues had serious illnesses, our relatives and families had encountered unfortunate events... Then we sadly said goodbye to each other on the last journey of our lives... We lived together with the full meaning of a family!
We are not necessarily outstanding professionals, and even have many shortcomings and deficiencies in our speech and daily behavior, but we have sincerity, a passionate love for our profession, and absolute faith in the leadership of the Party Committee and the Editorial Board. We are proud to have lived, devoted, and worked with all our kindness, passion, and love.
Up to this moment, although we regret the unfinished topics, not yet implemented, not yet published; although we are overwhelmed with indescribable emotions, we believe that, no matter what profession we will be in the future, those feelings, those affections and this deep gratitude will always be carried in our hearts. They are the provisions for each of us to firmly believe in a bright beginning!
Please send back the seasons of flowers of nostalgia... Send back the youth in a house!
