Mid-Autumn Day 2011

“Chiếc đèn ông sao, sao năm cánh tươi màu,...

 Em cầm đèn sao, em hát vang vang….” 

When listening this song in each Mid-Autumn Day, I miss about you, a small girl has a nice voice. I met you at Nguyen Dinh Chieu school where spend for bind persons in an volunteer trip. I also remember that you were about 10 ages in that year. I look you at my concentration and you were singing this song.

I told you: “You sing so well, you should become a singer in future”

You start out of singing and answer sweetly “I like Mid-Autumn Day and I miss my home”

You were born in family who catch dioxin poison because your grand-father fought in war to protect Vietnam many years ago. So you cannot see anything when from you were born.

You said to me “I wish that I can see star light just once time in my life”. I tried to describe for you how does star light look like and about the meaning of stars in the dark night. I became your tutor from that day. You are very intelligent and often ask me many questions.

You asked “What is your favorite color, teacher?”

I answered quickly “That is blue because I love peace. Mid-Autumn Day is going to come; we will make star-light and make our wishes. Do you agree?”

You smiled and said “Yeah. I like it so much”

Before the Mid-Autumn about 2 days, I had to come back my hometown and I made for you a small yellow star-light. Then I went to your school in Mid-Autumn Day but your head master said that your family is going to move to Tay Nguyen, so he picked you. I received your gift from the head master; it is a small blue star-light. I looked at the moonlight with 2 star-lights and made our wishes.

Many years passed away and my dream has not been become true, just stop by studying and working hard. Do you know? I often miss to you when Mid-Autumn Day comes. Sometimes, I feel so tired with life and work but when I miss about our wishes, I tried to go ahead and continue my way because I believe that our dream will come true.

Let’s live well and let’s dream to make wonderful things

Wish that all unlucky children like you are always taken care and looked at from everyone.

Wish that all children will have a happy Mid-Autumn Day

Wish that everyone will have a warm Mid-Autumn Day with family and friends

Wish that everyday is a happy Mid-Autumn Day
