Below are sample brief essays telling a historical story:

Ly Thuong Kiet and the Poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha"

In 1075, the Song dynasty intended to invade Dai Viet. Facing the urgent situation, the renowned general Ly Thuong Kiet proactively launched an attack, destroying the enemy's food supplies, causing the Song army to panic. However, in 1077, the Song army still advanced to attack our country.

Ly Thuong Kiet established a defensive line on the Nhu Nguyet River, blocking the enemy's advance. When the battle became fierce, he had his soldiers recite the poem:

"Nam quoc son ha Nam de cu,

Tiet nhien dinh phan tai thien thu..."

This poem affirmed the sovereignty of Dai Viet, boosting the morale of our army and people. Thanks to Ly Thuong Kiet's determination and brilliant leadership, the Song army eventually had to retreat, safeguarding the country's independence.

Tran Quoc Toan Crushes an Orange

In 1282, the Tran dynasty organized the Binh Than Conference to discuss strategies against the Yuan army. Many generals and officials were invited to participate, but Tran Quoc Toan, being young, was not allowed to attend.

Out of frustration, Tran Quoc Toan accidentally crushed an orange in his hand. Unwilling to be seen as "too young," he gathered his servants, formed his own army, and inscribed on his flag six golden words: "Pha cuong dich, bao hoang an" (Defeat strong enemies, repay the royal grace). Tran Quoc Toan and his righteous army achieved numerous remarkable victories, instilling fear in the Yuan forces.

Despite his young age, he demonstrated fierce patriotism, becoming a shining example in the nation's history of resisting foreign invasion.

Ly Cong Uan

Ly Cong Uan was from Co Phap village, Dong Ngan, Tu Son prefecture, Bac Ninh province. Currently, in Dinh Bang village, there is still a mausoleum and temple of the Ly kings.

Legend has it that Cong Uan had no father; his mother Pham Thi attended the Tien Son pagoda festivity (Tien Son village, Tu Son prefecture) and dreamt of "being with" a deity, leading to her conception and the birth of a son. At the age of three, the child was more handsome; the family gave him to a monk at Co Phap Temple named Ly Khanh Van as an adoptive child. Ly Cong Uan was educated in Chinese characters, Buddhist scriptures, and martial arts from a young age, growing up beneath the temple roof to become a distinguished scholar and warrior.

In his twenties, Ly Cong Uan served as a military commander under King Le Dai Hanh, having significant merits in the Battle of Chi Lang (981) defeating the invading Song forces, beheading the enemy general Hau Nhan Bao. Later, he held the position of Ta than ve Dien tien Chi huy su, controlling the entire military power. With high virtues and talent, he earned the deep respect of officials and soldiers. In 1005, Le Dai Hanh passed away. The throne was passed to Le Long Viet. Only three days later, Le Long Dinh killed his brother to seize the throne. Le Long Dinh was an extremely tyrannical king, similar to the infamous tyrants of the past. He was so indulgent in debauchery that he suffered illnesses and could not sit up; during court sessions, he lay down while receiving his officials, thus earning the nickname Sleeping King. By the end of 1009, Sleeping King died. In that year, Ly Cong Uan was 35 years old. At that time, public sentiment was discontented with the Le dynasty; officials and Buddhist monks hailed him as king, beginning the Ly dynasty (1010-1225).

Ly Cong Uan ascended to the throne as emperor in early spring 1010, becoming King Ly Thai To of the Ly dynasty. He reigned for 19 years, living to the age of 55, passing away in 1028.

Victory of Bach Dang in 1288

In 1288, the Yuan army led by Thoat Hoan again invaded Dai Viet for the third time. Knowing that the enemy would retreat via the Bach Dang River, Hung Dao Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan devised a plan to set up a battlefield of hidden stakes.

As the enemy fleet entered the river estuary, our army lured them deep into the deploy area. At the right moment when the tide receded, the sharp stakes gradually revealed themselves, causing the enemy ships to become trapped and be completely destroyed. The victory at Bach Dang in 1288 is one of the glorious triumphs, marking a catastrophic defeat for the Yuan army and securing Dai Viet's independence.

This victory demonstrated Tran Hung Dao's strategic prowess and the unwavering fighting spirit of our army and people.

Nguyen Trai Presents "Binh Ngo Dai Cao"

In 1427, following the resounding victory over the Ming army, Nguyen Trai, on behalf of Le Loi, composed "Binh Ngo Dai Cao" – an eloquent declaration of independence for the nation.

The preamble to the declaration boldly states:

"As for our Đại Việt from before,

Always has borne a culture for long..."

With rigorous arguments, Nguyen Trai denounced the crimes of the Ming army, praised the feats of the Lam Son army, and asserted the sovereignty of Dai Viet. "Binh Ngo Dai Cao" not only stands as an immortal piece of literature but also marks an important milestone in national history, embodying the patriotism and aspiration for independence of our people.

The Revolt of the Trung Sisters

In the year 40, our people suffered under the oppressive rule of the Han dynasty. Faced with a devastated country, the Trung Sisters – Trung Trac and Trung Nhi – rallied their forces and called upon the people to rise and fight the invaders.

The revolutionary army quickly seized 65 strongholds, routed the Han army, and restored independence to the nation. The Trung Sisters ascended to the throne, establishing their court. However, by 43, the Han forces counterattacked, and the Trung Sisters fought valiantly but ultimately fell. They jumped into the Hat River to take their own lives.

The Trung Sisters' revolt remains a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people and highlights the significant role of women in the nation's history of defending sovereignty.

President Ho Chi Minh

Ho Chi Minh is the great president of Vietnam, the revered father figure of millions of Vietnamese people. Among the numerous stories about his life and revolutionary journey, the one I remember and cherish most is the story "Anh Ba."

The title of the story is also the name Ho Chi Minh used before leaving to find a path to rescue the country. At that time, Anh Ba traveled from his village to Saigon to live and work. There, he was guided by a friend to explore the city. Through this, he saw electric lights, cinemas, and tap water. Everything was novel to him, as he had never seen or touched them before. That night, he lay pondering these thoughts, unable to sleep. A few days later, he decided to confide in a friend, Anh Le.

Beginning the conversation, Anh Ba asked Anh Le about patriotism. After which, he requested Anh Le keep secret what he was about to reveal. This opening made me anxious, knowing a significant piece of information was about to be disclosed. Indeed, Anh Ba spoke of his desire to go abroad. He expressed a wish to travel to France and other countries to find ways to help his compatriots. However, he was concerned about the risks, especially during times of illness, if he traveled alone. Thus, he hoped to invite Anh Le to accompany him. However, traveling abroad required more than a passionate heart; it needed funding. Anh Le wisely asked, "But my friend! Where will we get the money to go?" In response to his friend's concerns, Anh Ba calmly extended his hands and asserted these were his money. By working hard with his hands, he could earn money. Anh Ba was determined to do anything to live and travel to France. Such enthusiasm led Anh Le to agree to accompany him. Yet upon returning home and reconsidering, the seemingly adventurous and uncertain journey led Anh Le to lose the courage to keep his word. Nevertheless, Anh Ba pursued his aspirations and goals. He boarded a large ship with empty hands and a heart brimming with enthusiasm, patriotism, and fervor for national liberation. That young man was our Ho Chi Minh.

From the story, I further understand and admire Ho Chi Minh's bravery, strong patriotic spirit, and immense sacrifice. This understanding deepens my love and respect for the peace and independence our country enjoys today and motivates me to study and train diligently to further advance our nation, fulfilling Ho Chi Minh's expectations.

Mac Dinh Chi

Mac Dinh Chi (1272 - 1346), self-titled tiet phu, hailed from Lung Dong village, Chi Linh district, Hai Duong province. He was a historical figure I greatly admire and respect.

Mac Dinh Chi was exceptionally intelligent. Due to his literary talent, he was taken under the wing of Prince Trieu Quoc Tran Ich Tac, who sponsored his education. In March of the year Giap Thin (1304), King Tran Anh Tong held the Thai hoc sinh examination to seek talents. That exam graced forty-four successful candidates. Mac Dinh Chi achieved the top position (Trang Nguyen), became an Internal Secretary. Despite this, Mac Dinh Chi was diminutive, and King Tran Anh Tong often derided him for his appearance. In response, Mac Dinh Chi composed the "Ngoc Tinh Lien Phu" or "Lotus in the Ngoc Well" to describe himself. Upon reading it, King Tran Anh Tong could not cease praising it.

As he assumed the role of Internal Secretary, Mac Dinh Chi was dispatched to the Yuan Dynasty in China as an envoy. The Yuan court intended to belittle him due to his appearance. One day, the Prime Minister invited him to his residence. Inside hung a thin painting depicting a golden sparrow perched on a bamboo branch. Mac Dinh Chi feigned mistaking it for real, swiftly lunging to seize it. The entire Yuan court burst into laughter, deeming him provincial. He then pulled down the painting and tore it apart. Everyone was curious and inquired for his reasoning. He replied: “According to my knowledge, the ancients only painted "mai-tước," never depicting "truc-tước." Bamboo symbolizes gentlemen, while the sparrow signifies the petty. This portrayal of "truc-tước" elevates the petty over the gentleman. Hence, I fear this could strengthen petty ways and weaken noble ways. Thus, I urge the divine court to remove it.” At this, all admired his talent.

On another occasion, when presented at the Yuan court, a foreign envoy submitted a fan, compelling the Yuan emperor to request an inscription. Mac Dinh Chi promptly composed it, garnering imperial admiration. Thereby, the Yuan dynasty further esteemed him, and Mac Dinh Chi was acknowledged as a "Double Trang Nguyen."

Undoubtedly, Mac Dinh Chi was an exceptionally talented Trang Nguyen, greatly contributing to the nation.
