Letter of Apricot 02
Once, I stood in silence for hours to think about what I missed the most about
Hanoi every time I went away. I thought about all the Hanoians I have met
over the past few decades, and what they had shared about this city every
time they went away. Vietnamese feel emotional about their Hanoi. Even
foreigners, after returning from Hanoi, feel the same about the city as the
Vietnamese do. This is why I can confidently say there is something fragile, vague, subtle
and serene about Hanoi’s beauty. The city’s soul is made up of all these things.
