Among the new members that the Ho Chi Minh City Writers Association has just announced, there is a poet who is also a doctor: poet Tran Quoc Vinh. He believes that the literary career suddenly came to him one fine day, and then he leisurely enjoyed and played around with literature.
Poet Tran Quoc Vinh
Poet Tran Quoc Vinh said: "Even when I was still in school, although I was good at math, I still loved reading poetry. I recited folk songs, the Tale of Kieu, Luc Van Tien and my father's poems. Everyone in my family loved poetry, especially my mother who knew all 3,254 verses of Kieu by heart and she copied them into volumes and gave them to her 8 children. All of this had a profound influence on me." He has published two collections of poetry that are sought after by readers: Du Tho and Ve Hoa Trong Gio (The Writers' Association Publishing House) with nearly 200 poems. Many of Tran Quoc Vinh's works have also been set to music. He is currently preparing to publish a book on medicine and a new collection of poetry.
"I am a doctor, a profession that is under a lot of pressure. Because patients respect and trust doctors, I am very careful not to let patients feel that I am "wandering". However, poetry is a form that helps me relieve sadness and stress," Dr. Vinh confided.
