Besides, the group also had a chance to talk with Ca Mau writer Nguyen Ngoc Tu, who has specific southern writing style and a soft but poignant voice about lives and sinking fates. She is famous for the rural special style in her works, imbued with the love of the village, the land, and honest and kind people but more or less unlucky.
