• The Tale of the Eternal Spring Aug 10, 2025

  

  In the high mountains of Sapa, where terraced rice fields climb like green staircases toward the clouds and mist dances between ancient peaks, there lived a young gardener named Xuân whose name meant “spring.” She had inherited her love of growing things from her grandmother, a legendary herbalist who was said to be able to make flowers bloom even in the deepest winter.

  Xuân tended a magnificent garden that supplied medicine and food to her entire mountain village. Under her care, herbs grew stronger, vegetables grew larger, and flowers bloomed more brilliantly than anywhere else in the region. But Xuân’s greatest sorrow was watching her beautiful garden die back each winter, leaving the village without fresh medicine and her heart without the joy that came from nurturing growing things.
