#About the idea

*The Chinh phụ ngâm (“Lament of the soldier’s wife”, 征婦吟) is a poem in classical Chinese written by the Vietnamese author Đặng Trần Côn (1710-1745).[1] It is also called the Chinh phụ ngâm khúc (征婦吟曲), with the additional -khúc (“tune”, 曲) emphasizing that it can be performed as a musical piece not just read as a plain “lament” (ngâm, 吟).

The Chinese-language poem was translated into vernacular chữ Nôm by several translators including Phan Huy Ích and Đoàn Thị Điểm.

“You will not see cinema; nor film; nor documentary, nor long-distance shot; nor 4K; nor diary; nor confession; nor appropriation of a famous poem; nor conclusion.

You will see a young hand and an old hand, you will see hundreds of flowers tailor-made, you will see two bunch of chrysanthemums and ten fingers intertwined with each other.”
