V\u00d5 \u0110\u1eaeT \u2014 A PIONEERING AGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are lands shaped not merely by spades and pickaxes, but by the sacrifice of entire lives. V\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft \u2014 a name that may sound distant to unfamiliar ears \u2014 was once the birthplace of countless dreams, a refuge for so many souls who left their old villages behind in search of another future.<\/p>\n

The story behind this song begins in the late 1950s, when families from Central Vietnam departed from their loved ones, from the fierce sun and winds of their homeland, and from the endless floods and storms that had long burdened their lives. Following the resettlement program established under President Ng\u00f4 \u0110\u00ecnh Di\u1ec7m, they journeyed toward an untamed wilderness. They left behind familiar villages, schoolyards, and the innocence of childhood to enter a land still wrapped in forest silence \u2014 a place where few human footsteps had ever passed, where clouds of red dust swallowed the very first days of arrival.<\/p>\n

In those memories remains the image of a convoy stopping quietly at dusk. A father steps down first from the truck and stands in silence before an unfamiliar horizon. It was the moment an entirely new life began. Around him stood hastily built shacks roofed with leaves and rough planks, uprooted trees lying bare after the bulldozers had passed, and a future no one could yet imagine.<\/p>\n

And yet, from that harsh and lonely soil, life slowly took root.<\/p>\n

Drops of sweat darkened the red earth. Cassava rows appeared one by one. Fields and farms were carved from wilderness. There were nights lit only by dim kerosene lamps, days spent carrying water from distant streams, and the voices of children reciting their lessons beneath the blazing noon sun. Together, these fragments wove a childhood marked equally by hardship and by a strange, translucent innocence.<\/p>\n

V\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft, once an endless stretch of mountain forest, gradually became a settlement, then a village, and finally a homeland. Those people who had arrived empty-handed built, through sheer endurance and love, not only new lives for themselves, but a future for generations yet to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cV\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft \u2014 A Pioneering Age\u201d is more than a song. It is a remembrance. A quiet testimony. And above all, it is an offering of gratitude to those who came before us \u2014 ordinary people who lived extraordinary lives.<\/p>\n

So today, when the name \u201cV\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft\u201d is spoken once more, we remember not only a piece of land, but an entire era that time can never erase.
\n<\/br>
\n…and more details…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The day I wrote the song \u201cV\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft \u2014 A Pioneering Age\u201d was also the day old memories unexpectedly returned, unfolding slowly like a faded motion picture. I remembered my parents \u2014 both now long gone \u2014 and the poverty-stricken childhood of a large family struggling to survive. I remembered the red-soil lands of B\u00ecnh Tuy Province, T\u00e1nh Linh District, as they once were, and the homeland I have lived apart from for more than half a century.<\/p>\n

This song is not merely the story of my own family. It is also the reflection of countless Vietnamese families during the era of frontier settlement and agricultural resettlement under President Ng\u00f4 \u0110\u00ecnh Di\u1ec7m. When the government launched programs to move impoverished families into remote wilderness areas to begin new lives, V\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft was little more than an unfamiliar name amid clouds of red dust, endless forests, and untamed land.<\/p>\n

In truth, my family was not among the poorest. My parents lived modestly, but we still had a home, a small rice field, and above all, a large extended family nearby. For that reason, my father hesitated deeply. He could not bear the thought of leaving behind generations of relatives who had lived close together for so long. But my mother \u2014 strong-willed and resolute \u2014 chose to leave for the sake of her seven children. She believed that only by joining the government-sponsored resettlement program in a new land could her children hope for a better future.<\/p>\n

In 1958, a convoy carrying many families entered the new settlement area, and my father was among those who encouraged neighbors and relatives to join the journey. In my memory \u2014 and in the stories my parents later recounted \u2014 that evening felt unbearably desolate. Twilight hovered uncertainly between light and darkness. When the convoy finally stopped, my parents were among the first to step down from the truck. Before them stretched only a single red dirt road. Along both sides stood rows of newly erected thatched huts with earthen walls. Everywhere across the ground were jagged tree stumps protruding upward like remnants of a forest only recently torn away.<\/p>\n

Each family was given a small house on a modest plot of land. Because ours was such a large household, my parents divided us into two separate family registrations so that nine people could somehow fit and survive. Those first days were unimaginably difficult. There was little water, no electricity, and shortages of nearly everything. The adults cleared land and planted cassava and corn, while the children carried water from distant streams or waited in line beside communal pumps whose water sometimes ran red with mud. At night, the entire family gathered around the faint glow of a kerosene lamp while insects cried in the darkness and cold winds swept through the forest.
\nYet the most remarkable thing was the resilience of the human spirit.<\/p>\n

Before long, through perseverance, sacrifice, and bare hands hardened by labor, those settlers transformed the wilderness into thriving villages. Fields gradually turned green. Children\u2019s voices echoed along the red dirt roads. More families from the central provinces \u2014 Qu\u1ea3ng B\u00ecnh, Qu\u1ea3ng Tr\u1ecb, Qu\u1ea3ng Nam, Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i, B\u00ecnh \u0110\u1ecbnh \u2014 continued arriving to establish new settlements such as V\u00f5 Xu and S\u00f9ng Nh\u01a1n.<\/p>\n

To me, V\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft is far more than a geographical name. It is a symbol of my parents\u2019 sacrifices \u2014 a place where people who possessed almost nothing gave their youth, sweat, and tears to build a future for their descendants. That is why every lyric in the song carries the weight of lived memory:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat lonely road of red earth\u2026
\nWind whipping clouds of dust into the sky\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Or:<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom empty hands long ago\u2026
\nSo many dreams were sown\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Every line comes from real remembrance. There is the sound of hoes striking earth at dawn. There are long walks to fetch water from streams far from home. There is the image of my mother bent quietly over another row of cassava plants. There is my father laboring beneath the harsh highland sun. And there is also the quiet pride of seeing that once-barren land eventually become bustling towns and the homeland of generations that followed.<\/p>\n

Even after more than fifty-one years away from Vietnam, whenever I think of V\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft, I can still smell the red earth after the rain. I still see the dim kerosene lamps flickering in the night. I still hear neighbors calling to one another across those newly built settlements. Above all, I remember my parents \u2014 ordinary people who dared to leave behind their homeland, their relatives, and everything familiar to step into an unknown wilderness with nothing but their bare hands, all for the future of their children.<\/p>\n

This song, therefore, is an offering of remembrance to my parents, to the pioneering settlers of those years, and to a homeland called V\u00f5 \u0110\u1eaft \u2014 \u201ca pioneering age.\u201d Most importantly, it is left behind for future generations, so that they may know where they came from, and understand the roots from which their lives first grew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
