Carrying the Burden Across the Fields to the World (2018 Reprint)

Carrying the burden across the country to the world was republished after 2 months of publication, with the first Social Book version in Vietnam (messenger code application to chat directly with the author and the community of book readers. QR code application to facilitate readers to easily save high-quality documents and images from the book) at facebook: fb.com/rathegioi. This is the closest way that author Nguyen Phi Van can chat and connect with modern young people.

What makes the book so popular when it was first released is that: behind the stories about the general picture of each country, which seem dry, are the realistic drawings of local life, the daily trivial stories that she collected. And so, Carrying the burden across the fields to the world appears like a vivid movie, easily "attracting" young people to stand up and carry their backpacks on the road. "Going" here is not only physical steps, but also the regeneration of positive energy, arousing the passion for learning, cultivating the energy of love and tolerance, building a generation of young Vietnamese with a far-sighted, broad vision, with a kind and strong heart.

Starting from a rainy night, sitting in a coffee shop chatting with a close friend after long journeys across continents, Nguyen Phi Van decided to record memorable milestones in his journey of changing his thinking, perception, and vision to share with young people - global citizens who are striving every day and yearning to bring Vietnam to the world. Each country Phi Van has visited is a lesson she has learned, absorbed and remembered: from Asian countries such as Singapore, Japan, China... that have miraculously risen and affirmed their position, to the brilliant, strong development of Australia or the bold and determined touches of the Arab Emirates, from the fragmented, confused pieces of Egypt - Pharaoh - a thousand-year sleep to perspectives on a nostalgic and modern Europe, from the vibrant colors and fashion of Korea - soft power to the stories filled with intelligence of Hong Kong - a global city or the innovative, creative and constantly changing strokes of America...

Talking about the journey of more than 20 years of effort, going through more than 60 countries, from being a waiter, waitress, cleaning room to international marketing director, Asia Pacific director,... Nguyen Phi Van confided: "Twenty years later, the journey to the world for me is a journey back to the origin, back to the place that nurtured the seeds of the soul. Going to learn how to love people. Going to know that the giant ego is nothing in the existence of the universe. Going to understand the extremely relative concept of gain and loss. Going just to find myself again".

It can be said that Quay Ganh Bang Dong Ra The Gioi is a pivotal book, opening a new genre of books in the Vietnamese book industry: economic books written in the form of storytelling, both systematizing and analyzing from the perspective of an expert, and talking and sharing stories of the East and the West through the feelings of a very ordinary and simple person. This is a book that can be a luggage to carry on the journey to the world, becoming a "global citizen" of young people - Vietnamese businesses.

"I, the frog, actually used to struggle with not knowing who I was and not knowing what I represented. I chose a job because of the high salary, chose a job because of the opportunity, did everything here and there, and grabbed every opportunity I saw. Later, when I went out into the world and learned interesting lessons like Hong Kong, I calmed down and thought about positioning. Once I had positioned myself as an expert in the industry in the international market, I refused all jobs or opportunities that did not contribute to the realization of my positioning. And the frog drew a diagram of the bacteria, then focused all his energy on all related things that could help him touch what he was positioning."
