When I was just a kid, I heard people tell stories, comment and make harsh judgements on Thanh Hoa people whom they called "Hoa Thanh Quế". In their narrations, these people were portrayed as awfully wicked bodies: mean, self-seeking, and dishonest. At that time, I had never met a single person from "36" province or witnessed any robbery, stealing triggered by them, but small rain lays great dust. Gradually, a poor preconception about Thanh Hoa people was shaped in my mind.

Nothing changed when I came to Hanoi for university. There, I even saw more hatred and discrimination. Thanh Hoa people suffered from several socio-economic disadvantages caused by this prejudice. For instance, they had no permission to rent some houses, get some jobs or even visit a hair salon for a new hair. Such gossip got into my mind, accumulated and stuck there.

Fortunately, I joined a club, where I had opportunities to encounter numerous people from different places including Thanh Hoa. Among them, there was a "Hoa Thanh Que" girl that transformed my viewpoint completely. Why? Because she was nowhere near similar to what I had been told. Contrary to my previous beliefs, she was not untidy but diligent and neat, not tight-fisted but generous and so kind. That girl was so sympathetic to me and others

Now, I feel so lucky to have wonderful friends from Thanh Hoa who have always been there and help me out whenever I need. The girl and all my experiences tell exactly one thing: a person's value does not depend on his/her origin, age, gender, or anything; it differs individually and impredictably. What people should consider is to experience the more the better and to not entirely believe in things people say around. Only by that can we build up a better planet with love and equality.
