Trong giai đoạn từ năm 1945 đến năm 1950, Vũ Anh Khanh là một cây bút chuyên viết truyện ngắn và tiểu thuyết. Tác phẩm của ông gồm truyện dài như Nửa Bồ Xương Khô, Bạc Xíu Lìn, Cây Ná Trắc và các truyện ngắn như Đầm Ô Rô, Sông Máu, Bên Kia Sông… Tuy nhiên bài thơ “Tha La xóm đạo” mới làm cho rất nhiều người nhớ đến tên tuổi của ông mãi tận sau này.

Downtown Hanoi metro will be delayed until 2027 and cost to rise by 82 percent

The completion of a downtown Hanoi metro section will be delayed until 2027 and its cost is set to rise by 82 percent.

Authorities said that the cost of building the section that would run past Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake as part of the capital city’s second urban metro project will increase by more than VND16 trillion ($690 million) to VND35.67 trillion ($1.5 billion).

A report submitted to the National Assembly by the Ministry of Planning and Investment says the cost increase is warranted by changes in the project scale, the currency’s conversion rate, material price hikes, and higher management costs.

The cost adjustment would mean that each kilometer of the 11.5 meter section cost $143 million. The funds will be raised from the national budget and loans from the Japanese government.

Introducing Bach Long Vi island in northern Vietnam

Bach Long Vi, or “White Dragon’s Tail,” is an island district about 130 kilometers off the northern coastal city of Hai Phong and Vietnam’s furthest territory in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Though the island’s acreage is small, only about 2.5 square kilometers during high tide and four square kilometers during low tide, Bach Long Vi still boasts an impressive combination of golden-yellow sandy beaches and mountains, making it the ideal place to admire gorgeous coastal sunrises and sunsets.

Getting to the island can be a little tricky. It takes up to ten hours to travel from Hai Phong to Bach Long Vi and the 100-seat boat which travels the route only operates three to four times a month.

A Vietnamese court sentenced a music teacher on Friday to 11 years in jail for “anti-state” Facebook posts, state media reported.

The official Nghe An newspaper said Nguyen Nang Tinh was found guilty of publishing photos, videos and comments on his personal Facebook page with messages to instigate demonstrations and oppose the government.

The newspaper, published in Nghe An province, where the trial occurred, said Tinh frequently held meetings with members of Viet Tan, an overseas-based political group that the government has branded “terrorist,” to discuss “reactionary” activities, although he was not an official member of the group.

It said Tinh, as a musical teacher, also taught his students anti-state songs. Tiếp tục đọc “Vietnam court convicts music teacher of anti-state actions” →

bizhub – Speeding up the construction of the new Lien Chieu Cargo Port would help promote Da Nang as a key international logistics centre, and allow the existing Tien Sa Port to be reserved for cruise ships only.

Former general director of Tien Sa Port, Nguyen Huu Sia, made the statement at a recent workshop held to discuss changes to the city’s Master Plan proposed by Sakae Holdings and Subarna Jurong Consultants from Singapore. Tiếp tục đọc “Lien Chieu Port to play key role for a sustainable Da Nang” →
