There is a question that has occupied philosophers across cultures and centuries: what does it mean to live in a world where everything changes, and nothing lasts?
The first publication of Thoi bao Kinh te Sai Gon that I knew was The Saigon Times Weekly when I was a high school student back in 1998. To help me improve my English proficiency, my father saved money to buy the magazine for me. The initial purpose was not to help me study economics but to learn English.
Whether these words are fitting for a farewell, I cannot say. Yet as I look back on the more than one thousand days I spent contributing to the Saigon Times Group, from the summer of 2021 until now, through the “Tra du tuu hau” column in the Culture & Society section, these words emerged from the heart of a writer. They capture a journey that has meant far more to me than I can easily express, and one that will forever remain a cherished milestone in my life.
