That’s the opening paragraph I go to school The writer Thanh Tinh is often mentioned when starting a new school year. If we count from the first day of writing school (born in 1911), “that morning” has passed more than 100 years. One day in early September, we rediscovered the village school 100 years ago, student Tran Thanh Tinh started with the lesson I went to school.
I read it when I was a kid. It was a lot of fun until I got married that the writer was my father-in-law.

School In the imagination
Writer Thanh Tinh was born in the village of Gia Lac in Duong No village, a rural village east of Hue city. Researcher Tran Dai Vinh from Duong No village is also a rare person who knows the childhood of writer Thanh Tinh.
Mr. Vinh said that My school Ly in the story I went to school to was the school in the flying imagination of the writer. And the town of My Ly that he wrote in many stories in the book Que Madre (1941) is also the name of the town in literature.
So what is the primary school where young Tran Thanh Tinh (called Tran Van Ninh as a child) started going to school?
It is the school that Thanh Tinh describes very truthfully in the poem The school of my town what he did at 19: My village school is next to the longhouse / A beautiful looking three-class school / A few large peach trees in front of the school / I was often captivated with feelings / My school has a river view in front / And the part from behind look at the field …
Researcher Tran Dai Vinh identified that school as the primary school in the ancient village of Duong No. At that time, people used the monk’s house as a village school.
We went to the Duong No family, a famous beautiful house in Hue, built during the reign of King Le Thanh Tong (1471), located on the Pho Loi river, has been recognized as a national monument.
The villagers didn’t know about this school anymore, but they mentioned the article I go to school everyone nods “yes, yes I know”.
The old way to school by Thanh Tinh
From Thanh Tinh’s narration in the poem The school of my townCombined with the documents about his life, it can be understood that he studied at this school for the first three years of primary school, then continued studying at Dong Ba primary school, and then attended secondary school at Pellerin school next to the station. Hue. .
Researcher Tran Dai Vinh said that writer Thanh Tinh’s home in Gia Lac village, located at this time, was authorized to build the Cho Dinh bridge. Every morning student Tran Thanh Tinh will walk from there, follow the road along the Pho Loi River to Duong No.
We went back and walked that road to visualize Thanh Tinh’s old school style. The path he wrote: “That morning, a morning full of autumn fog and cold wind, my mother took me lovingly by the hand and led me down the long and narrow road to town. This road that I used to travel many times, but this time it was natural to see The scene around me has changed because my heart is having a big change: today I am going to school.

In 1946, Thanh Tinh at that time was the general secretary of the National Association for the Culture of National Salvation, he went north to attend the congress when resistance broke out, he joined the army, then he worked as the head of Van Nghe Military magazine and lived a life. until I died (1988).
Few people know that at the house on the banks of the Perfume River in the village of Gia Lac, he used to have a family with his wife and two children. The daughter’s name is My Ly, the name of the village in history. I go to school you. The son, named Tran Thanh Ve, just passed away last year in Hue.
I found Mr. Ve’s house deep in the Lich Doi village, behind the Bao Quoc pagoda. Ms. Nguyen Thi Quyt, Mr. Ve’s wife, or daughter-in-law of writer Tran Thanh Tinh, said that the writer’s grave was also brought to Hue, buried in the Thien Thai Mountain Cemetery.
On the altar, there is a photo of the writer Thanh Tinh from his childhood in Hue, the date of birth is October 29, 1912 (September 20, Nham Ty), while all the books are written about Thanh Tinh today, including textbooks, all registered as 12-12-1911.
Post mention I go to schoolMs. Quyt immediately said: “That article is not known to anyone. I read it from a young age, until I got married that the writer was my father-in-law, so it was a lot of fun.”
His children knew and lived with their grandfather, but the grandchildren were born when their great-grandfather died. “My children and grandchildren now live in Nha Trang, Saigon and abroad. They also belong to the song I go to school and proud of my grandfather, great grandfather, “said Ms. Quyt.
Memories vibrated for generations
Poet Mai Van Hoan, a famous professor of literature in Hue, said that the school was even in his imagination. I go to school it is more of a flashback than a story. Because the writer has honestly and in detail described how the boy went to school for the first time.
It was a morning “full of autumn dew and cold wind.” It is a familiar path that “the environment is changing”.
Even the “long black umbrella” t-shirt she was wearing, the startled feeling when she heard the teacher’s name, the feeling of leaving her mother for the first time … were carefully reproduced.
“Just one memory alone touched the hearts of many generations of readers,” said Hoan.
