Simple poem But that idea has been around for twenty years now. This is a good poem that is loved by many people. Or because it’s unique, witty, and warm with love.
Ha Giang’s real name is Pham Tien Giang, from Dau Son village, Bac Ha commune, Kien An town, Kien An province (formerly); Currently the family lives in Phu Lien ward, Kien An district, City. Hai Phong.

You are a member of the Association Vietnamese musician who has been a member of the Hai Phong Literature and Arts Association since the 70s of the last century is a music teacher at Hai Phong Pedagogical School 10 + 3, the predecessor of today’s (public) Hai Phong University – where I taught for 32 years.
>
In the 1972 – 1975 Pedagogical Course, I was the homeroom teacher of class C. Literature – History The school Board of Directors assigned Mr. Ha Giang to be the vice homeroom teacher of my class. He is ten years older than me. Ha Giang was the first party member of Ho Chi Minh’s class (after Uncle Ho passed away in 1969).
>
He teaches music very well, is always enthusiastic and engaging, sings passionately, and composes many songs for his hometown and school that are loved by everyone.
Many of his songs are popular on the Voice of Vietnam and Hai Phong Radio and Television.
>
The teachers and students of my school love and respect him very much because he is dedicated to living a simple, sincere and affectionate life with everyone.
>
>
I don’t remember clearly, but around the late 80s of the last century when he had “retired early” due to health reasons, Ha Giang once met me, he smiled brightly and said: “I just did my homework.” Can you listen to poetry like this?
>
Then he laughed so hard that he read very innocently: “If you don’t go, you won’t know Do Son / When you go, you’ll see that it’s no better than home goods/ Even though the house furniture is a bit old/ When you think about it, the house furniture is still better”! After hearing him read, I burst into laughter and hugged him: “Very good! Great!”.
>
But you said added: “I’m a bit hesitant about the last sentence: Thinking about it, is it better to replace it with: “But it’s real, not painted”. How do you feel? I said: “Each sentence has its own good idea. It’s up to you.”
>
He smiled again and said : “Let’s just leave the last sentence “It’s better to rethink the house furniture” it seems more truthful and seems like a struggle of ideas. right? From then on, during funny stories with friends in Ha Giang, he read that poem to them.
I am also one of the “sinners” who spread his poems orally. Then the poem was passed from person to person and crossed Hai Phong territory and spread to provinces and cities from North to South.
“If you don’t go, you won’t know Do Son”. In addition, Mr. Ha Giang’s house is only about 18 km away from Do Son on a large, wide asphalt road.
Do Son is Hai Phong’s beach with beautiful, charming mountain and water scenery famous throughout the country; There are many pine forests and beaches that attract tourists from all over; There are big, beautiful hotel villas and countless restaurants, motels, garden cafes… Especially Do Son is a famous “entertainment” area because there are many precious seafood dishes that I once wrote: “If you eat one, you want to eat two/ If you eat three, if you eat four, you want to eat five.”
>
Broadly speaking, Do Son is a romantic mountain with motels and hotels. restaurant and indispensable young, beautiful and attractive hostesses as mentioned above. And “household items” is a funny way to refer to wives.
But the humanist poem is happy wherever it is, but in the end, there is still no place as warm and sincere as home.
>
There is one thing that Ha Giang often “shows off” to us: His wife is a very loving person. Her husband and children are rich in virtue and sacrifice for the family, creating all conditions for him to feel secure in teaching and composing, living peacefully with the neighbors.
Whenever my husband’s friends come to visit, she is always cheerful and always smiling, making no one know that they are doing well. very needy. Having such a kind and caring wife is a great happiness for Ha Giang.
My friend Ha Giang is an emotional person who is equally romantic but very alert and especially loves his wife and children very much and respects his wife.

Ha Giang disappeared after a few years he read to me listen to his unique poetry (he died in 1989 at the age of 53!); but the poem is still there, still fresh and attractive.
He left behind a cheerful and cheerful laughter, a witty and profound sense of love.
