Vinh

I was not born in Vinh, nor too much time attached to this place. But perhaps there is something between me and this small town called debt. Come back and come back, I always see Vinh look and familiar breath, close, despite the time and the treadmill of the pace is making every change every day.
The first time I came to Vinh was the day I visited my hometown. In the eyes of the children then, Vinh is really very noisy, bustling and busy - different from the peaceful countryside where I live. The houses on the top of the smoke columns sky high, the pedicabs roam around the streets, ... Everything is strange, arousing the interest and curiosity of a countryside children first time to the province. Then, as the train floats the wheel, my teacher's ball with his hat fell behind the window. It is said that the initial impression is as glue sticking soul into the universe. And I still have a dream about a Vinh City with the ships, the buildings and the noise of the streets until adulthood.

Later, when I arrived in many regions, all over the South, in the North, the more I felt the difference of Vinh. In the hustle and bustle of the city, Vinh is still something very special, very special, not too sad as hua Hue as well as no hustle, noisy like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Vinh is the sum , Alternating of quietness and bustling, joyful and peaceful. That always makes the travelers like me allow myself to live slowly returning to the center of harmony between the city, to feel the color of time that is not backward. It is these differences that motivate me to thoroughly grasp the rich history of Vinh - the plains of the Lam river.
I met seniors who had attached themselves to the entire life of Vinh City, including the old bookshops, in the Provincial Library. Each time heard or explored, the discovery of the Vinh and the old traces left, the more I love this place to multiply. Thousands of years ago, the ancient Vietnamese lived quite large on this land. The discovery of two bronze drums belonging to the Hung Vuong era more than 4,000 years ago at the foot of Dung Quyet Mountain and now housed at the Nghe An Museum proves that.

In 1788, while on the way to Thang Long to destroy the Qing army, unable to resist the mountain clouds of this land, Emperor Quang Trung must recognize: "Wide appearance, meteoric bright, can Choose to build new capital ". And shortly thereafter, Emperor Quang Trung decided to build the capital at Yen Truong, now in Trung Do Ward, Vinh City and named Phuong Trung Trung, which would be the capital of Vietnamese land. Although the construction of Tay Son was not completed yet, Phuong Hoang Trung has become a glorious mark on the development of Vinh City. Not only that, the emperors also later considered this is a land of spiritual and spiritual. The vestiges of the gate of Vinh ancient citadel are historical witnesses for the construction and development of this land of the wise men in advance.

In the years under the French colonial empire, Vinh was known as a city with factories, factories, ports, banks, banks ... famous French, Hoa Kieu, Indochina ... Vinh is also a city of workers with thousands of workers. The contrast between riches, the riches of foreigners and the misery of the peasants, plus the oppressive exploitation of oppression, has made this land the cradle of patriotic and revolutionary movements.

I remembered the things I have learnt from history book, when in the years of anti-American imperialism, Vinh was the most heavily bombed target of US air power, the whole city almost flattened in a ruined pile of ruins.
In 1973, the Democratic Republic of Germany helped our people rebuild Vinh city under the urban design of East Germany and the Soviet Union. The book records that at that time the German experts and Vietnamese workers are hard-working, sun-rays, zealous labor with friendship friendly. Since then, high-rise buildings began to rise, roads widened, wiping out the remnants of the war. Red city proud change in the reconstruction, the people of Vinh City began to enter a new era - the period of construction and beauty rich Nghe country.

Today, whenever I come back to Vinh, I witness the rapid change of Vinh City on the way of integration, urban grade 1 is Government planning to become the economic and financial center of the North Central. But proudly, people still see a heroic Vinh, proud of the old Soviet spirit, strong and strong. Vinh is not only the Phoenix, where only the vestiges, Vinh also has the waltz, the echoes of the back of the hammock, the bowl of green tea warm love Nghe. Vinh simple, love, still many steps visitors have to go back to each other busy.

Love is sometimes suddenly, but Maybe with Vinh, I fell in love with a skin love, so everything is so beautiful ...
