Childhood in Hanoi in Subsidy Era

Launching of a book by author Duc Pham about his childhood in Hanoi in early 1980s.

On the occasion of opening Hanoi Book street, you are invited to participate in the launching of the book “Khu tập thể có giàn hoa tím” (A compound with a purple flower framework) and talk with author Duc Pham about the memories of his childhood in Hanoi in the Subsidy Era.
Author Duc Pham – born and raised in Hanoi – belongs to the first batch of the “8X” generation. He had such a colorful childhood, living in a compound in Hanoi in the early years of the ’80s in a period of economic subsidy.
Journalist and painter Do Huong said: “There are things that never leaves us though they happened a very long time ago. They are the love of one’s family and one’s childhood – the foundations on which one grows up. I call them the most precious assets of the hearts that know how to love. ”
A compound with a purple flower framework will be launched on Mon 01 May 2017, 10 am – 12 pm at Hanoi Book Street, Street 19-12, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
