A picture book showing powerful images of Vietnamese children smiling
despite the suffering caused by the war around them was released on
September 2 to mark National Day.
Entitled Tre Em Thoi Chien (Children at War), the book depicts the life of children during the US war through nearly 100 photos taken by photo journalists from Vietnam News Agency, Thieu Nien Tien Phong (Young Pioneers) newspaper and Japan-based Nihon Denpa News.
The photos were previously displayed in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and drew much attention. Young visitors were able to understand how hard their parents had lived and studied during the cruel war.
Many children had to live far from their families. After school time, they often had to dig tunnels or weave straw hats to protect themselves from bomb fragments. Besides books, they always carried first-aid kits to school.
The book is distributed by the Kim Dong Publishing House.-VNA
