Stay by the river

After decades of separation, I slept in Quang Tri for the first time. I was born and raised by the Thach Han river, and I can't help but getting emotional when I return to this river.

Quang Tri was turned into mountains of bricks and stones by the American bombs, leaving nothing behind.
