Every time I meet author Le Thi Bach Hue, I feel like I have a new source of joyful energy, because she is always cheerful, sociable and gives loving words to everyone. For this excellent teacher, giving love is to multiply joy and happiness everywhere.

Talking to us, poet Le Minh Vu, a member of the Vietnam Writers' Association, said that although she was originally a math teacher, after her retirement, Le Thi Bach Hue was very active in participating in the literary activities of the province with a high sense of responsibility for each of its pages. The author's love for the homeland and mothers, as well as family affection, is expressed very deeply by the author. Many works have been highly appreciated and won many awards at provincial-level cultural and artistic playgrounds.

As for the author Huong Lan, Le Thi Bach Hue is a very likable sister. She was born and raised in a large farmer family, so she is always aware of taking care of the children with her mother. The character of a loving, hard-working woman, a devoted teacher, is evident in her poetry and is even more pronounced when she writes about her mother. Each poem is like a whisper about the mother when she sees the areca berries fall, when the winter comes, when the spring comes or the Vu Lan is near. Although her poems are not unique, they have touched the reader's heart.

Sharing feelings in the debutign collection by Le Thi Bach Hue, author Dao Van Dat wrote: "Le Thi Bach Hue's poetry is always gentle and feminine as every poem of hers is full of emotion. Touch makes the reader remember to love. More specifically, when writing poems about Binh Duong, she has a deep writing style, always with a heavy heart and burning love for her homeland.”

Besides the works about her mother, Le Thi Bach Hue also made many beautiful impressions with her works on soldiers and the sea and islands. The song Yeu nguoi linh bien (the love for the soldier at sea fronts) by Truong Phan and the Bien mai mau xanh (lasting blue sea) by Ngo Pham Toan captured the hearts of listeners when coming to the exchange program - introducing the collection by author Le Thi Bach Hue.

For Le Thi Bach Hue, the poems of hers would probably forever lie quietly on the pages if not for the musicians to animate them with melodious low notes and emotional melodies. Therefore, she is very happy and sincerely grateful to the musicians who sympathize and breathe life into the poems to fly high and far away to be able to reach for more people.
