Walking their dog after dinner has always been a favorite daily activity of Tho Pham and his wife, a Vietnamese couple who live with their 39-year-old son in Garden Grove City, California. But not in the last few months as the wave of anti-Asian violence and harassment has terrified him. "I do not dare go out without my children because I am afraid someone will knock me to the ground or stab me to death just because I am Asian," he laments, adding that the hate crimes have disrupted his daily life. Many other Vietnamese share his apprehension, especially older people.

Violence and hatred directed at Asian Americans, which also includes mugging, have surged across California since the beginning of the Covis-19 pandemic as Asians are blamed for its origin in Wuhan, China. Videos of an Asian woman being punched in the face on a subway platform and a Thai man being pushed to the ground in San Francisco have sparked fears, and the Vietnamese community is traumatized. Hoai Nguyen, a housewife in San Jose, home to the largest Vietnamese population in America, says: "It is annoying and scary when you go out and have to keep looking behind your back to see if you are being followed by someone suspicious." She has been called "coronavirus" several times while walking and shopping, but she had not expected the discrimination and hatred to turn violent and even murderous. Last month the Vietnamese community in San Jose was shocked after a 64-year-old woman was robbed in front of Dai Thanh Supermarket during the Lunar New Year holidays. Nguyen says with a sigh: "I cannot do that (go out) on my own because they may kill me. How weak I am and how cold-hearted those people are." Since older people are targeted, no one is comfortable letting their parents or grandparents go out alone though the first …

Thanks to a wonderful meeting with international writers in the spring of 2019, Vietnamese literature has seen higher levels of promotion worldwide. German translator Guenter Giesenfeld, poet Sándor Halmosi, writer Kieu Bich Hau, poet Laura Garavaglia. This is contained in the prologue of writer Kieu Bich Hau's piece about international literary friends. The first is Italian poet Laura Garavaglia who first came to Vietnam in spring 2019. Writer Kieu Bich Hau welcomed her as directed by the Vietnam Writers Association. On the bus to the guest house, they exchanged business cards and she was surprised to learn that Laura Garavaglia is President of the House of Poems in Como, Director of the European Poetry Festival, besides being a poet, literary translator and journalist. Looking at the tall, thin woman, having entered her sixties, writer Kieu Bich Hau wondered how she could do so many things at the one time. The House of Poems in Como and the Vietnam Writers' Association signed a cooperation agreement, with the Italian side publishing Vietnamese literature, cuisine, tourism, and general cultural research in Italy while at the same time, the Vietnamese side will establish an Italian cultural club in Hanoi. Currently, Garavaglia is gathering Vietnamese literature and cultural books to teach students, so that young Italians can better understand Vietnam, a place she loves. Meanwhile, Vietnam has also become captivated with Sándor Halmosi, a Hungarian poet, for the country’s freedom, enthusiasm and colorful tropical cuisine. With a continuous future connection, the promotion of cross-published works between the two countries will introduce readers to the beauty of traditional and contemporary literature, the richness, differences and similarities in the souls of Hungarians and the Vietnamese. Sándor Halmosi has paid much attention to Vietnam, not only its food, traffic, music on the bus, but also Vietnamese architecture. Writer Kieu Bich …
