It had been nearly a decade since I last picked up a novel - until the other day. The book is titled "Giữa những con sóng" (Between the Waves). It was written by Nguyễn Tuấn Thành and published by the Literature Publishing House in 2025. I haven’t read it yet, so I won’t talk about the story itself. Instead, I want to share a different story - one I call "Swim Against the Current".
