Poet Luu Quang Vu and Xuan Quynh and their children once lived in a room only 6 m wide.2on Hue Street, but through the love letters left behind, everyone can imagine how vibrant that small house once was. 31 years after the two poets passed away (August 29, 1988), the room filled with their memories is still kept almost intact.
With the permission of poet Luu Quang Vu's family and the help of friends and colleagues, director Nguyen Hoang Diep restored the 6 m room.2It became a small corner of poetry in my Oh, Hanoi space.
According to the female director, she wants to take advantage of the poet - playwright Luu Quang Vu's birthday to hold a poetry day for his admirers to come and read his poems and remember him. And on that special occasion, a poetry room will be restored, recreating the small, quiet space that was once the happy home of the two late poets Luu Quang Vu - Xuan Quynh.
After visiting to take photos and get documents about the room which is only 6 m wide2by Xuan Quynh - Luu Quang Vu, Nguyen Hoang Diep has started to restore. In the space of Oh, Hanoi, she created a bookshelf with books similar to the bookshelf of the two poets and also arranged on it handwritten manuscripts (including poems, diaries, family letters) of Luu Quang Vu. Around it, certificates of merit, paintings of "Mr. Vu", pictures of "Ms. Quynh" and other mementos of the two are also displayed.
The White Clouds Poetry Room officially opened on August 25 at the address O Kia Hanoi (639/39/39 Hoang Hoa Tham, Hanoi). The opening of the White Clouds Poetry Room is one of a series of events commemorating the two poets Xuan Quynh and Luu Quang Vu called “Where autumn comes, white clouds still return” (from August 25 to September 1 at O Kia Hanoi). This program was organized by fans of the two poets Luu Quang Vu and Xuan Quynh to commemorate the 31st anniversary of their passing.
