• The Story of the Jade Bracelet Jan 21, 2025

  

  In the ancient city of Hue, where the Perfume River flowed gently past imperial palaces and traditional gardens, lived a young woman named Mai whose devotion to her family was as pure as the morning dew on lotus petals. Mai shared a modest house near the riverbank with her elderly mother, Bà Lan, who had raised her alone after Mai’s father died when she was still a child.

  Bà Lan had once been one of the most skilled seamstresses in the imperial court, known for her exquisite embroidery work that adorned the robes of nobles and court officials. But years of close work had weakened her eyes, and now she could barely see well enough to perform simple household tasks. Despite their reduced circumstances, mother and daughter lived contentedly, supported by Mai’s work as a flower seller in the local market.
