A few weeks ago I was in Vietnam for the first time in 54 years, seeing Saigon and Hue again, Hanoi and Ha Long Bay for the first time.

It’s a country we “lost” 40 years ago, in April of 1975. There are commemorations and announcements everywhere now, celebrating the “reunification” of North and South Vietnam. The red hammer-and-sickle flag flies from doorways, balconies and trees, north and south.

Looking into the young faces of Vietnam 2015, hearing their questions about the time when I lived in their country, before they were born, before their parents were born, I kept seeing faces from long ago, all but one of them dead now.

If you’re old enough to remember the Domino Theory, you know that Eisenhower, Dulles, Kennedy, McNamara, Johnson, Kissinger, Nixon — one after another, U.S. leaders told us that if another Asian nation took up “Godless communism” all the others would also go red. We had to send troops against our evil nemesis Ho Chi Minh, the anti-colonialist president of the North, or see all of Asia populated by oppressed automatons in gray jumpsuits, mouthing Maoisms rather than prayers, owning nothing, mindlessly obeying State orders, hating Americans, and ready to storm across the Pacific and do us in.

Since returning from that look at the new Vietnam, I’ve been having a dream that I can, Dickens-style, appear to those long-ago statesmen and be their Ghost of Times To Come. Ho Chi Minh has to come along too, to see what’s become of the country he led to victory.

Alright, gentlemen, here we go.

First, it’s beautiful, isn’t it? A blessing from Mother Nature that the blasted, poisoned trees have regrown; a kudo to hard-working people that the buildings and roads have been rebuilt, restored.

Look at the young of this country, gentlemen, so many of them eager to do business with the world, curious and courteous to the many graying Americans coming back to see the places they fought when they were young. Young Vietnamese know nothing of the war, only that bad things happened. They cannot tell you what became of people you may have known here. It was long ago, and only the old have memories.

Do you see that there are multi-national corporate logos everywhere, and ebullient mini-enterprises in every direction? See those farmers whose fields circle the cities? They each own their land and the produce they grow on it. Look at all the old farmhouses with new rooms added on, look at the new mopeds parked at the doors. Farm families are buying these things, from their profits.

See the people streaming into pagodas, bringing flowers and their prayers for a prosperous year? In every city, there are also churches filled for Christian services.

Are you wondering what’s going on, gentlemen? What could possibly have happened to create this world so different from the one you were so sure would follow our defeat?

Are you stunned, Ho Chi Minh, that the inborn entrepreneurial spirit of your people is fueling private commerce in 2015? The government — the communist government — officially sanctioned private ownership of businesses and farms almost 30 years ago. Are you appalled by seeing the main drag of Ho Chi Minh City lined with sleek stores selling ultra-luxury goods from decadent Europe? Hammers and sickles on the trees and balconies, “Prada” and “Bottega Veneta” on the shop windows. Listen to this young Vietnamese entrepreneur saying, “Those anti-business ideas just don’t work for us.”

Neither does the “Godless” part, gentlemen. The deep human instinct to seek God was not stopped by the communist victory. Suppressed for a while, but not erased. Just look at those bustling pagodas and churches, and tell me your thoughts.

Ike, Jack, Lyndon, Dick — all of you, and your so-certain, brilliant advisors, look at Vietnam long after all the young fighters’ lives cut short, the civilians killed, maimed, displaced, the suffering of every human who loved them and survived in grief. Look now at a country where free enterprise and religion are not gone but flourishing.

What if you all go back to your times and just let human nature play out, understanding that the Vietnamese drive to prosper and to pray will prevail over an ideology that doesn’t suit them? You Americans don’t need to send troops and bombers, back there in your time, all those decades ago. Re-education, Ho Chi Minh? Imprisoning and indoctrinating your fellow citizens? Looks like it didn’t work. I urge you all to take a re-do, and just stand down.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20. All those years ago, I wouldn’t have believed the Vietnam that was to come either — it would have taken time-travel to convince me. I just want to take these men with me, thinking they’d surely change course, if only...

In Vietnam there are many historic sites, but I think the most famous is the Hue citadel. Between 1802 and 1945, it was the imperial capital of the Nguyen Dynasty. It is well known for its monuments and architecture. Its population stands at about 340,000 people. At first, the citadel was covered with earth and wood, so it was completed from April to August. Until 1818, the king began to build with bricks. The citadel has 10 main doors including: North Main Gate Northwest gate West Main Gate South-West Gate South Main Gate Quang Duc Gate. The Nhon Gate East-South Gate East Main Gate East-North Gate. Currently, Hue Citadel is one of the relics of Hue Citadel Complex recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage.

Of all historic places in Vietnam, Khai Dinh Tomb is the one that I favor the most. It is located Hue, the Vietnam’s former capital. Khai Dinh’s tomb sets itself apart from other Nguyen Dynasty tombs with an appealing fusion of Asian and European touches. Constructed over 11 years, the tomb is more like a monument of his excessive wealth which stayed true to his reputation as a puppet of the French colonial government. Coming to this place, tourists have a chance to enjoy the unique architecture and expand the knowledge of Nguyen Dynasty. For me, it is really a must-see place when visiting Hue.

When I was 5 years old, my father bought me a mini bicycle. He said that he would teach me how to ride a bicycle the week after. But I liked this bicycle so much, and I couldn't stand waiting until next week. So the day after, when my father was not there in the house for some reasons, I tried to ride it myself. Since I used to look at my father riding a bicycle, I would feel that it was so easy to drive it that it would hardly take a minute for me to start it and then I would be riding it on my way to my grandparents' home showing him that I could also ride the bike without being taught. But it was not easy as I thought. I fell off the bike and injured my leg. The bike was also broken. Then I was taken to the hospital. The whole incident was a big lesson for me that I should not touch upon something of which I do not have prior knowledge and that I should obey my parents since whatever they say is just for my well-being only.

For every Vietnamese, we certainly cannot forget a historical event that ended more than a thousand years of domination by the enemy of the North. It was a victory on Bach Dang River in 938, led by Ngo Quyen to defeat the South Han army. In 937, Duong Dinh Nghe was killed by Kieu Cong Tien. After that, Ngo Quyen gathered forces to the North to kill Kieu Cong Tien. Kieu Cong Tien sent people to China to pray for help in the Nan Han Dynasty. In 938, Ngo Quyen went to the North to kill Kieu Cong Tien, preparing to fight the enemy. Realizing the special tide on the Bach Dang River, Ngo Quyen had his troops piled on both sides of the river, and waited for the enemy's arrival. With his ingenuity, Ngo Quyen directed his troops to defeat the Nam Han, ended more than 1000 years of domination by the Northern enemy. That victory is really meaningful. Every time I remember, I feel proud of our country's glorious victory. Up to now, Bach Dang River still has traces of piles on the banks of the river. Although our people have many other victories, for me it is an historical event that I cannot forget.

Nowaday, traffic problem is one of the biggest problems that all people concern. In Vietnam, not only the biggest city - Ho Chi Minh or the capital of our country - Hanoi but also all the big cities are facing with this issue.

The first problem is the traffic jam . Why? In rush hours of the day, there are too many people using roads . Last year, in 2013, many bridges was built so it happen less but in order to stop this, a kind of small car should be invented, people should go to works by public transports such as buses instead of going by motorbikes...

The second one, as you know, the roads in VN is not as big and clean as the roads in the other countries. They're narrow, bumpy and sometimes dirty so it’s really hard for people to drive safely. I think we should raise money to make roads in VN better and better.

But everyone knows that most Vietnamese people don’t follow the traffic rules or there are also someone who don't know the rules in a full way. That’s the biggest reason for everything. They wear the helmet that not safe enough or they wear it in a careless way. So, if the accident may happen when they ride too fast on the roads, especially in small and bumpy roads…

To sum up, traffic problem is becoming a hot potato and getting worse. If people don't take action right now by some ways that I've mentioned above, this hard issue will bever be solved.

Nowadays, the society is more and more developmental. The Internet becomes useful and popular with everyone. But as we know, everything has two-side: advantages and disadvantages.
We can not deny that Internet has many advantages. It helps us to get more information faster. In addition, we can relax by Internet after a hard-working day such as: listening to online music, watching movies, playing games...Toward the students and even people who have job, they can study in the Internet. It's really convenient for us to do everything easier.
Beside the benefit of the Internet, there are some restrictions. For example: These days, in the world, there are many situations that the students use Internet too much and distracted in learning. Moreover, using Internet for a long time might causes harmfulness for your health. And sometimes, we could get virus while using the Internet. It's very dangerous.
However, Internet is really useful and necessary for our life.
