Inspired from his beloved mother, Tran Minh Pha (1999) has made the Committee of Organization “allured” with his excellent drawing named “Long An”.

Minh Pha wants to show his love for his mother- who has been on hardship to bring him up. Wherever you go, you always have to respect your hometown. People have lots of places to go, but there is only a place to return- that’s your hometown, and that’s your mother.

The poetic and idyllic images illustrated in “A glimpse of Hanoi’ of Vu Thi Thanh Thu (1997) creates first memories for people when speaking of Hanoi. The old ancient capital lies inside the river which gathers places, special food of Trang An. Her drawing uses 2 main colors: Blue is the color of peace, the city of peace, and red is the color of passion, deep affection that each person has for Hanoi-Vietnam.

The work “My Tho” of Pham Thien Phu (1994) describes the city of My Tho and the nice flowing Tien river surrounds population area like a symbol of the Mother Nature hugging her daughter. The drawing is highly appreciated because of its harmonious tone, great combination of images and hometown symbol and it brings a great story about architecture, history, culture, people…to introduce to international friends.

Dinh Hoang Tam (1995) describes his father’s hometown in his work named “Tien Giang- the gathering boats”, emphasizes the colorful and glowing floating market “Cái Bè”. He said: “I had been infatuated when hearing my father talk about the floating market, but I was still overwhelmed when seeing the landscapes, heritages and local people with my eyes.”
