13-yo Vietnamese writer shows true colors in award-winning book
A teenage boy from Hanoi has been able to show not only his creative writing talent but also his true self in his award-winning book that has been described as a Vietnamese version of the world-famous ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid.’ Nguyen Khang Thinh, born in 2007, was only 13 when he received the 2020 Sach Hay (Good Book) award for his first-hand book titled ‘Nhat ky cua nhoc Alvin sieu quay,’ which can be translated as ‘Diary of naughty Alvin.’ Sach Hay is an independent award voted by readers and scholars that has been jointly organized by the IRED Institute of Education, the Good Reading Promotion Project and the OpenEdu Initiative for ten times. Since he was a little child, Thinh has expressed his uniqueness, according to his mother, Nguyen Thi Tam. The 13-year-old boy wrote the book from the inspiration after reading ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ by the American author Jeff Kinney. Thinh built the characters’ from his observation and experience in real life. The story of the book is about a boy named Alvin, who is active, naughty but curious, and loves to explore. Like the author, Alvin also loves to play video games and wants to become a YouTuber. Meanwhile, Thinh’s mother is the role model for the mother in the story, who strictly teaches her child good and right things, but also gives her child freedom to develop. Alvin has to change his school, meet new friends, and face situations that he does not know how to deal with. Besides, the book shows the main character’s concerns, disappointments, and sorrows, and ultimate yearning for joy and hope. Teenage writer Nguyen Khang Thinh and his mother, Nguyen Thi Tam, are seen in this photo. Photo: Tuoi Tre Dr. Quach Thu Nguyet, member of the Sach Hay awarding council, commented that Thinh builds innocent characters and was not boxed in by pre-existing ideas. “Alvin is not afraid to express the craziest thoughts. This character is typical of children anywhere around the world, who dozes …
