Original artwork description:

Each Vietnamese person knows a sentence of the song: “Where ever you all go, still missing Hanoi”. Because Hanoi has 36 ancient streets, the Red River carrying the alluvium heavily, the old bridge of Long Bien leaning over its reflection, the echo of the church’s bell, small pavement shops, and four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. This place always has a unique and characteristic beauty: hidden behind the modern city, we still find the antiquity: the mossy roofs of old houses, opened windows with delicate patterns, rows of old trees, etc. These are the proofs of a pompous, elegant Hanoi, an ancient capital. The student girls in the white Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress) represent the Hanoian - not only elegant but also gentle and decent. They are also the symbol of our youth, our beautiful and unforgettable school years...
