Top 10 essays analyzing the character of Mr. Met in “The forest of sa nu” by Nguyen Trung Thanh

In the short story Forest of So Nu by writer Nguyen Trung Thanh, if asked which character is a historical witness accompanying the events of the times and people of Xo Man villagers, the answer is probably Mr. . Although he does not appear much or is described much in the story, however, Mr. Met plays an extremely important role in the life of Tnú and the struggle of the villagers of Xó Man.

Mr. Met is a village elder, it can be said that the village head of Xo Man village. He was a strong man, energetic and full of courage. His aura was described by the author through his appearance: he had a squarish face, bright black eyes, a beard that reached his chest and had a strong chest, his voice resounding in his chest. The description of Ma’s appearance also shows that this is a very strong, decisive and energetic person. He is the head of Xo Man village, plays the role of balancing the ink, is the guideline for all activities of the people in the village.

Mr. Met is also a character that is described with an epic character, the epicness is expressed through his person from appearance, personality to his actions. The old man was very serious, scowling. When Tnú came back to visit the village, he asked everyone to sit around him and quietly let him tell the story of Tnú’s life. And everyone, including the elderly, and even children, certainly sat quietly listening to each and every word of Mrs.

In Tnú’s whole life, there is no journey without the witness of Mrs. Met. It can be said that if Tnú’s story is the story of a life and an era, then Old Man Met is also an important part of it, he is also a witness and transmits that story to generations. next.

When Tnú was a child orphaned parents, Tnú grew up in the protective arms of Xo Man villagers, Tnú and Mai raised cadres in the forest, all these things alone Tnú cannot do by herself, but must have a determination. direction, support and help of the people in Xo Man village, especially Mrs. Met.

When Tnú saw his wife and children die and he himself rushed out and was tortured by the enemy, Mr. Met was the leader of the army, leading the village to fight. Ma’s voice is like a command that all people in the village obey. He exhorted everyone to stand up and he himself was the leader, directly rushing into the enemy army to fight.

Whenever someone does a good job, he just nods and praises “yes”, which is a saying full of affection but also full of hope for the future, wanting the descendants of the village to develop more, not self-consciously. pride that he forgot his duty. That is the person of Mr. Met, so he is always respected by Tnú and respected by all the villagers of Xo Man. When he returned, he also visited and greeted him, listening to him with a respectful attitude. The villagers just waited and followed his orders. Consider him as a role model for all to follow.

The people of Mr. Met, like Tnú as well as the forests of the rafters, are undaunted and indomitable, bearing the stamp of an epic that is resilient and steadfast in the face of life’s storms, in the face of catastrophic historical circuTaxances. Mr. Met was loyal to the Party, to Uncle Ho, to the revolution. When he saw Tnú return and achieved certain victories in the battle, he was very happy, he always showed respect towards Uncle Ho and the communists. Even though he is old, he is still a great tree in the middle of the great forest of the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands.

Without Mr. Met, perhaps the story of Tnú’s life and of Xo Man village would not have been told or would have been told in a different way, from a different perspective. Mr. Met is the one who keeps the fire, transmits the fire, transmits the patriotic spirit and revolutionary enthusiasm to all members in the village of Xo Man. He is also a heroic symbol, an epic person for the story of the jungle in particular and for the village of Xo Man in general.

One of the characters that contributes to expressing the theme of the work and deepening the epic character of Nguyen Trung Thanh’s short story ‘Forest of the Serpent’ is the character of Mr. Very familiar in the epics of the Central Highlands, and the character of Mr. Met is the symbol of the traditional strength, the indomitable spirit of the Central Highlands people, the spiritual support.

We can see that as soon as it appears, the impression of a strong village elder is shown in the detail “a heavy hand grips Tnú like an iron pliers”. Author Nguyen Trung Thanh seems to have drawn the appearance of an old man who is “squarish … bright and slanted eyes, the scar on the right cheek is still shiny … the chest is as tight as a big beam”. And such sentences depict the image of an astute, steadfast and steadfast village elder, thereby showing the potential for physical strength, full of spiritual power, charismatic and persuasive. strong with the community.

And it seems that almost every description in Mr. Met has a unique character. Through the very expressions such as commands, simple but decisive language shows the decisiveness of the leaders. Or even the things he never praised, when he was most satisfied, he only said “yes” was the character of those who always demanded high in others as well as in themselves.

It can be seen especially impressive in Mr. Met that readers can see that it is the voice, that is “the voice that echoes in the chest”, that voice or “sounds” when exhorting the villagers of Xo. Man rebelled to fight the enemy or “deep and heavy” like the echo of the mountains. And that is just like the saying of the past when telling the story of Tnú’s life, about the glorious history of the village, that voice earnestly reminded the villagers and their descendants: “Did you hear that, children? Clearly? Remember, record!…”

The image of Mr. Met is shown as a person with deep love and a strong attachment to his homeland. When bringing the character Tnú back from afar, the old man led him to the water trough at the head of the village to wash, by doing so, he seemed to want to remind his son far away from home. And no matter where you go, you must remember and cherish the sacred roots of your homeland. Talking to Tnú, it seems that she is always proud to affirm by saying absolute, maybe a bit extreme, outrageous, the familiar way of saying love: “There is nothing as strong as the earthy raspberry tree. ta” and the sentence “Rice made by the Stra people is the best in this forest”.

It seems to Mrs. Met, the homeland appears so beautiful and big, sacred and familiar. That is the image of the water in the source, the rice grains on the fields to the vast, strong and powerful forests. And we can see in Mrs. Met always thinking and reminding his children and grandchildren that “cadres are the Party. The party remains, the mountains of this country remain.”

Thus, readers can also see that Ma’s loyalty to the Party and revolution also comes from a deep love for the mountains and forests of his homeland. And just as inside the man with a stern, stern appearance is a heart full of love for the villagers.

Especially when Tnú returned to visit the village after three years of being in the army, Mr. Met welcomed him with the warm love of a father, and Mrs. Met decided that he would stay at her house at night when returning to the village, encouraging and encouraging him. He told him that “If you have two fingers, you can shoot a gun”. It is in this detail that we can see that the old Man seems to have brought Tnú – an unfortunate son of the Xo Man villagers, a warm feeling of the family when he returned to the village.

And when eating with Tnú, looking at his amputated hands, “the old man put down the rice bowl in anger”, that is one of the deepest expressions of grief for Tnú. And it seems that the hatred of the brutal enemy cannot be quenched.

And when telling the villagers about the death of Tnú’s wife and children, even though the story had happened for three years, it seemed that he could not hold back the infinite grief and pain and emotion. “clumsily return the hand to wipe a tear” as if to hide his heart. But readers can feel that the clumsy gesture revealed his kind heart and deep love for the villagers.

And when receiving a precious packet of salt from people who have traveled far away, Mrs. Met has always divided it equally among the kitchens in the village, for the sick. That is the salty taste of the tiny grains of salt as well as the rich salty taste of love in the heart of the village elder.

It can be seen that in the role of a village elder during the war against the US, Mr. Met is as resilient and as solid as a large raspberry tree. And the image of Mr. Met is the reliable support of the villagers and has a strong attraction to the villagers. And the image of Mr. Met always keeps his love, faith and absolute loyalty to the Party and the revolution. His famous and sentimental quote for the Party is “Civil servants are the Party. The Party remains, the mountains of this country remain.”

It can be seen that in the village, he is also the leader who can see and take care of the common fight of the villagers. He also kindly and encouraged the villagers to take care of food reserves so that they can eat for up to three years because “fighting the US must fight long”. Through the character Mat also seems to have shown the role of a wise and sober village elder who can control the pain and hatred even in the fiercest moment, and more importantly has found out the most correct way to lead the villagers to rebel with weapons to destroy the enemy.

It can be seen that before the death of Tnú’s wife and children, before the scene where Tnú was tied up and brutally tortured, Mrs. Met was in pain but awake, not letting emotions dominate. Madam also seems to have repeated again and again: “I also only have two empty hands. I went back to the forest… to find the youths… to find spears and spears.” It can be seen that it is the necessary wisdom of a village elder, a leader, and he is also responsible for the survival of the whole community that helped Mr. Met and the villagers fight and win the army. brutal war.

Along with the sharp wisdom of a leader, Mr. Met not only mentioned the painful event and the glorious victory of the villagers that night as a memory. In his generalization, it seems that he has also summed up and inculcated the inevitable rule of the revolutionary war: “They have held guns, we must hold spears”. Perhaps that truth was drawn from the blood and tearful history of Xo Man village, through the “deep and heavy” voice of the village elder, Mr. Met. It will surely become a sacred statement of history for generations to come.

Mr. Met is a beautiful character image reminiscent of village elders and patriarchs in epics, myths, legends, and apparently even in ancient Central Highlands epics. Using the unique descriptive style of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh and the dominance of the epic tendency in the general inspiration of literature in the period 1945 – 1975, it seems that we have also made the character not only appear with the elite qualities of the community but also a character with a unique personality.

And just through the character of Mr. Met, Nguyen Trung Thanh praised the patriotism, heroes and indomitable fighting spirit of the people of the Central Highlands during the war against the US. And larger than that, it also generalizes the great historical truth of the time, deeply and convincingly explains the way to liberate the people and the country.

Reading the Forest of Snakes by writer Nguyen Trung Thanh, we are not only impressed with a brave and courageous Tnu, but also rich in love. But we also have the impression of a very resilient and indomitable village elder, the link between the past and the present, the one who fuels and transmits the fire to future generations.

Although only a minor character in the work, but the old lady has a very important role. Therefore, the appearance as well as the character’s personality is always paid great attention by the writer.

Reading the passages about Mr. Met, we are impressed by a strong and decisive village elder, although old but still healthy and very clear: “a dignified hand grasped Tnú like a pair of pliers. iron” other descriptive words such as “squawking” “eyes bright and upside down” “the scar on the right cheek is still shiny” “stops taut like a big barnacle” have shown strength, as well as god. grandpa’s wisdom.

Through the author’s description, we can see that Mr. Met is an experienced, sharp, resilient man who has a strong influence on the community. His words and commanding words were very strong and decisive, sometimes “resounding” to call on the compatriots to stand up, when “low and heavy” to tell about the historical past, to engrave in the hearts of the world. young generation about national traditions, aroused hatred for the enemy. Praise for him is extremely rare, whoever does a good job, he only compliments one word “okay”. Such high demands on others, proving that he is also very strict with himself.

Deep in the soul of a person with a strong and tough appearance is a person with a deep love of the homeland, a strong attachment to the homeland. Love for the motherland is expressed through the very sincere saying “nothing is as strong as the barnacle tree in our land” “the rice made by the Stra people is the best in this mountain and forest”. For Mr. Met, any flavor of the sea can’t be compared with the products of his homeland.

During the years of the heroic and fierce resistance war against the US, Mr. Met was the big raspberry tree, the spiritual support for the village, to show the way to the people. He was the one who brought the Party to everyone, he was absolutely loyal to the revolution. For him, “cadres are the Party.

The party remains, the mountains of this country remain.” He attached the life of the villagers to the life of the Party, thereby upholding the responsibility and obligation of each person to devote themselves to the Party and destroy the American aggressors. During the five months of arduous resistance against the US, he was also a visionary, he always encouraged and advised people to stock up on food, because the war with the American enemy was a long war.

If Tnú sometimes has emotional actions because of affection, then Mrs. Met is a very alert and wise person in assessing the situation. He can control his emotions in the most difficult and drastic times to take correct and righteous actions to lead the people to rebel and fight. Before the beating that Mai had to endure, she made a very wise decision, “I also only have two empty hands. Tao returned to the forest…find the youths…find spears and spears”. That wise will of the leader helped the villagers win against the brutal enemy.

In the process of struggle, there will be a lot of pain and loss. Telling his children and grandchildren, Mr. Met not only recalled the sufferings and victories we achieved, but also generalized the rules in fighting and in the revolution: “They held guns, we had to hold spears”. That generalization is extremely accurate and true to the country’s revolutionary history. When the enemy invades, we cannot yield and give in, but must use revolutionary violence to regain freedom and independence for all peoples.

Mr. Met is a beautiful image, the leader, the one who guides the way for future generations. With a unique and honest description, the author has sculpted for readers a vivid portrait of the village elders of the Central Highlands. Through this character, Nguyen Trung Thanh expressed his sincere praise for the resilient and indomitable Central Highlands people in the long-term resistance war against the US imperialists.

Nguyen Trung Thanh is a writer who grew up through the resistance wars of the nation. He wrote many works associated with the people and the majestic wild mountains and forests of the Central Highlands. Shows the writer’s attachment to the people here.

A typical example of the author’s style is the short story “Sa Nu Forest” published in 1965 during the resistance war against the US to save the country. The short story shows the brave and courageous heroes of the people of the Central Highlands. The image of the people of Xo Man village, headed by Mr. Met, is the image of a heroic raspberry tree that has overcome many bombs and bullets, but is still resilient in the wind and storm.

Mr. Met is the soul of the people of Xo Man village, the person who lights the way for the younger generations to follow the patriotic and revolutionary path of the villagers. The character of Mr. Met is considered as the village elder of the village of Xo Man, Mr. Met does not appear at the beginning of the work, but every time he appears, he exudes a majestic appearance, of a leading leader, leaving an impression. strong in the mind of the reader. A firm hand grasped Tnú’s shoulder like an iron pliers, when he saw Mai and his child being tortured, Tnú was about to run out from the tree but Ma’s hand held him back.

The old man had a squarish face with a beard that reached to his chest, his eyes were shiny black, his scars were also shiny, his chest stretched like a large raspberry tree matured through the wind and storm. Writer Nguyen Trung Thanh described Mr. Met with sentences describing a hero, a patriarchal village elder who was respected by thousands of people. Through those drawings, we can see that Mr. Met is an extremely strong, healthy person with a sharp and clear appearance, showing his agility in speech and wisdom.

In this character, there is the maturity of an experienced person who has gone through a lot of sun and wind of time, of hardships, forming an indomitable and fearless person. In Ma’s voice, author Nguyen Trung Thanh described him as having a loud voice that resounded through the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands. His words were like thunder. Every time he spoke like an order, he never complimented anyone well or well, but only said encouraging words like “Okay”. But every word the old man said firmly expressed an order.

While Tnú was captured and brutally tortured by Duc’s henchmen, when they impregnated the ten tips of Tnu’s fingers with resin and burned in that moment the word “Kill” of old Met sounded like an oracle. He personally killed Duc and then with the villagers of Xo Man saved Tnú from the encirclement of the enemy’s torture. When Tnú was distraught and immobile because his wife and children were killed, ten fingers were burned and two remained, but it was Mr. Met who gave him strength, gave him more energy to continue to stand up and fight the enemy. . Ma said, “If you don’t have hands, you can use a gun to kill the enemy”.

Uncle Met was always loyal to the Party with Ho Chi Minh, which is the deep affection that he has for his homeland, showing the loyalty of a son of the nation. When it comes to the character of Mr. Mat, author Nguyen Trung Thanh uses extremely respectful words to express the author’s love and respect for this character.

For Tnú or the children in Xo Man village, Mr. Met is always a shining example for the next generation to follow. Love for the homeland, loyalty to the revolution of Tnú, baby Heeng, baby Dit were all inspired by the fire of Mr. Mr. Met is the old father of Xo Man villagers, who enlightens the spirit and transmits the fire of freedom to the people here.

Although the image of Mr. Met does not appear much in the work “Rung Xa Nu”, he is a very important character, through what the writer describes about this character, Mr. Met is the village elder with patriotic spirit. deeply believe in the revolution, in Uncle Ho. Mr. Met has left the reader’s heart with a strong image, a hero, a person who spreads fire to the people of Xo Man village, he is like a mature and resilient tree in the wind and storm.

“The parent class first, the child class later

Having become a comrade, he should march” (To Huu)

The two verses above remind me of Nguyen Trung Thanh’s work “The forest of soaps”. The short story “Forest of Sorrows” has carved into Vietnamese literature the collective image of Xo Man villagers teaching, preserving and continuing from generation to generation the national spirit and human qualities. In particular, the first generation – the most painful class and the most profoundly aware of the revolutionary path represented by Mr. Met, left a deep impression on me.

Nguyen Trung Thanh is a writer who belongs to the land and the people of the Central Highlands. Although the land of Quang, but the image of the land and the people of the Central Highlands in Nguyen Trung Thanh’s pages is true, vivid and sparkling with heroic identity. The short story “The Forest of Snakes” is similar to an epic book.

However, there is not a focus on highlighting the image of chieftains like Dam San and Xinh Nha, but rather the collective image of generations of heroic Xo Man villages. The first generation, the remaining person is almost the only one – Mr. Met. Therefore, when portraying the image of the first generation group, Nguyen Trung Thanh focused on portraying the character of Mr.

Recalling the character’s position, Mr. Met is a typical character for the village’s elder class in Xo Man village, like a giant tree. Mr. Met is like a witness to history, a museum of life experiences, and a chronicle of a time when “the country stood up”. More than anyone else, the following generations considered Mr. Met as a solid pillar to rely on in spirit and faith in the revolution. Mother-in-law teaches her children what is right and what is right. Met’s words are like a genuine oracle instead of a statement about Nguyen Trung Thanh’s artistic ideas.

In terms of appearance, the old lady has an impressive beauty. The figure of Mr. Met corresponds to a giant barnacle tree: “the chest is as tight as a large raspberry tree”, the beard “has reached the chest length and is still shiny black”, “the stocky hand is as heavy as iron pliers and rough like an iron pliers. bark”, “eyes bright and slanted”, “shiny scars”… Especially, Mrs. Met has “a voice that resounds in his chest” like the sound of mountains and forests, crystallizing all literary sediments. chemical.

In terms of personality, Mr. Met was an absolute loyalist to the revolution. “If the Party remains, the mountains will survive”. Mr. Met loved the villagers wholeheartedly and believed in his descendants. Mat put that firm hand on Tnú’s shoulder, both encouraging and fully trusting. Mr. Met properly performed his duty to pass on to his descendants the traditions and human qualities of the Central Highlands. The character took himself and the image of his father’s generation alive like Tnú to educate his children and grandchildren.

“Remember… take note…”, “there is nothing as strong as the raspberry tree in our land”, “the Straw rice we make is the best in the region”… the words of Mr. Met are the heart of an entire generation. Along with imparting traditions and qualities, Mr. Met also summed up his philosophy of life and revolutionary truths, reminding the younger generation: “If you hit the Americans, you must fight long”, “If they hold a gun, we must hold a spear.” …

In short, the character of Mr. Met is the convergence of the sacred air of the mountains and rivers, imprinted with the superhuman traces of the old man in myths but also extremely close and dear. Nguyen Trung Thanh used a flexible and expressive language system and the art of building a space with epic tendencies and romantic inspiration to restore the portrait of a mythical Madam. The short story “The Forest of Sorrows” has affirmed Nguyen Trung Thanh’s talent and position in the 1945-1975 resistance literature alongside many other names such as Nguyen Thi, Nguyen Khai or Nguyen Minh Chau.

In the anti-American era, patriotism is a pervasive content in Vietnamese literature. It burned strongly and developed to a new level of revolutionary heroism. Therefore, in the works not only appear heroic individuals, but also the whole hero collective. In the work of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh, besides the character Tnú, the heroic collective of Xo Man village stands out, in which the most prominent is the character of Mr.

For the people of Xo Man village, Mr. Met is the village elder, the oldest person and the representative of the community’s aspirations, the one who crystallizes the community’s strength and will. At the same time, Mr. Met was also the one who directly told the villagers of Xo Man about Tnú. As a village elder, having a powerful voice makes the details related to Tnú’s life true and objective. Moreover, his narrative style and epic tone make the story of the hero Tnú even more attractive and attractive.

Mr. Met is a man of the era of “The country rises up”, he went through both the resistance wars against the French and against the US to continue with his descendants and the young generation to rise up in the heroic war against the US. . He is both a symbol of the glorious and brilliant past, and a keeper and transmitter of fire to the next generation.

Even though they are old, the old lady still retains the same curvaceous appearance as before, she is still the village’s big barnacle tree, her hands are stocky and strong, etc. Although it is only a few details, the author has given me some details. see, even though Mr. Met is old, he still has extremely tough and strong physical strength, his appearance seems to have overcome the strong destructive force of time; This appearance also partly proves the role of a pillar and a support like a big bamboo tree of Mr. Met with the villagers of Xo Man.

Behind the strong, resilient beauty is the beauty of her shining quality. First of all, he is a person who has a deep love for the Party and for the revolution, this is reflected in his whole life of persistent and resilient struggle, which is the scar left on his cheek.

Mr. Met wholeheartedly followed the Party and the revolution to go from the resistance war against the French to the resistance war against the US in the role of pillar, commander and leader of the villagers of Xo Man. Love for the Party and revolution is also expressed through simple but meaningful words: “The Party is still there. This mountain is still there”. No fuss, but with his rustic thinking and natural language, he showed his deep love for the Party, and at the same time aroused that love in the hearts of every Xo Man villager.

Not only that, he is also a person with life experience, bravery and experience. Those are the things that make him always make the right and wise decisions in the most important moments. He was also the one who realized: “They have guns, I have to take spears”, it was he who overcame Tnú’s impatience to return to the forest, then returned with young men and young men to save him. Tu. His life experience has a direct influence on the existence and development of the villagers of Xo Man.

He is also the person who always seeks to keep the fire, spread the fire and encourage the next generation to follow in the footsteps of his father’s generation. And the most important role of Mr. Met is also the most outstanding quality is that he gives conclusions and replaces the author to speak for the truths of the time and the community. Each word slowly, but firmly, firmly: “They have held guns, I must hold spears”, showing the old man’s sensitivity to the changes of the times.

Because Tnú could not save his wife and children with only his bare hands, he was also brutally tortured by the enemy; Because only the hand is empty, so many people have fallen. He was aware that the times have changed, the invaders are increasingly using advanced weapons with more sophisticated fighting methods, so just with bare hands, we will definitely fail.

His words set out the urgent task of moving from spontaneous struggle to self-conscious and armed struggle with careful and thoughtful preparation. That is not only important to the struggle of the people of the Central Highlands, but it is also the truth of the times, crystallized from the community’s wisdom. Mr. Met has replaced the author to speak that truth. With his rich experience and life experience, he makes that perception deeper and more valuable.

For the villagers of Xo Man, Old Me is the soul, a solid support in both strength and thought and awareness. He is both the embodiment of the heroic past to become a shining example for the next generation, and a mentor, helper, and promoter of the history of struggle of Xo Man village and the people of Tay Nguyen. more heroic.

Each piece of land in the national resistance war is associated with each writer’s own image. If writer Nguyen Thi is associated with the land of the South of Vietnam, the Central Highlands is a place where many memories and beautiful images are recorded in the pen of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh.

Typical for those works is the work “Rung Xa Nu” (1965) printed in the volume On the homeland of Dien Ngoc heroes, the work is a mark of the reality of the people of the Central Highlands heroically fighting against the enemy. In the American empire, the war was not only the young generation of the villagers of Soman Tnú, Rit, Mai, and Baby Heng… but also the leadership of the village head, Mr. Met. An image of a giant spar – a common symbol of strength and endurance in war and a symbol of the soul of the village of Soman.

Uncle Met does not appear at the beginning of the work, but his appearance through the pen of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh also really leaves a strong impression in the hearts of readers. “A heavy hand gripped his shoulder like an iron pliers… The old man was still scowling as before, his beard was now chest-length and still shiny, his eyes bright and slanted, the scar on his right cheek still shiny. ball!.. the chest is as tight as a big beam…”

The writer has focused on describing his appearance from the very first lines about him. Thereby, Mr. Met appeared with a healthy and majestic body; his chest-length beard that was still shiny black showed that he had the true appearance of a village elder; His bright eyes slanted up, showing a man with a quick and powerful intellect. With that little description, the writer has also partly proved that Uncle Met is the strength of the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands.

But not only that, the writer also describes Ma’s voice with a voice “oh oh, resounding in the chest” which not only proves his resounding power but also affirms his leadership and direction. commanded the crowds of the village of Soman. His way of speaking is like an order; He never praised good or good, if he was satisfied, he would say “Okay!”.

That boldly issued battle order was expressed on the night Tnú was burned by the enemy with ten fingers, “Clash! Cutting off!” His voice like thunder in his ear not only spurred the spirit in each person to save Tnú, but also partly caused the Ducs to be hit by surprise and a little bit of fear. But Ma’s voice is also warm, dignified, and sacred like a legend – that’s when Mr. Met told Tnú’s story to the villagers of Soman.

People gathered around the fire in the space of the eagle’s house and listened to him talk about Tnú with a “very deep voice”. Thereby, readers can see that Old Man Me embodies the sacred tradition, symbolizing the national strength of the people in the Central Highlands, and the pride of the village community of Xo-Man. His voice is like the voice of the source, of the mountains, of history, his words are epic oracles, it is also like the judgments of history, the heroic power of the times.

In his relationship with the Party and Revolution, the more Madam Met is the link connecting the villagers with the Party’s ideals and instructions, because he always has a deep belief in the Party’s lines, the more this spirit is taught. rigorously trained the Soman village crowd to ingratiate the memory. Once, he once affirmed that belief: “A cadre is the Party. The Party remains, the mountains of this country remain.”

But more importantly, Mr. Met brought that truth into the reality of the struggle against the American imperialists with simple truths: “Remember, take note. Later, when I die, I will still be able to tell my children and grandchildren: They hold guns, I must hold spears!…” Thanks to the sense of always educating the glorious tradition of the village for those generations to approach, the villagers have Soman keeps the tradition of resilience and indomitableness, the ability to keep absolute secrets, so that the village of Soman will always be proud when during the 5 years of resistance, no cadres have been captured or killed by the enemy in the jungle. this nu.

But to understand why Mr. Met had such a deep belief in the Party, it was thanks to his thorough understanding and victory over the resistance line. It’s not just the motto that the resistance uses revolutionary violence to crush counter-revolutionary violence (they held guns, we had to hold spears). More specifically, he is also knowledgeable about the nation’s long-term resistance war: “beating the US must fight for a long time”.

In addition, through the pen of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh, we can also see the high discipline in the man of Old Me through the way he commanded the villagers when he escaped into the forest to wait for the opportunity to conduct an uprising: head already. Light up the fire! All the old, the young, the man, the woman, each found a spear, a spear, an example, and a machete. Those who don’t have it, get a thorn, five hundred thorns.” That’s why, the old Man is described by the writer with the image of a giant ramie tree in the forest, always being a big shadow for the Soman villagers against the American imperialists, contributing to the success of the revolution. network throughout the country.

When it comes to the character of Mr. Met in the work of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh’s “Rung Sa Nu”, it is impossible not to mention his noble qualities to Tnú and to the villagers of Soman. Through the writer’s pen, Mr. Met appears to be a man with deep love for the villagers, patriotism and hatred for the enemy. For Tnú, he always took him as an example for the younger generation to follow, to learn from him and follow the revolution with all his heart, representing his upbringing is little Heng – little Heng has absorbed his tradition. Through the way of education of Mrs. Met.

In his heart, Tnú appeared truthfully with “his life is miserable, but his belly is as clean as the spring water of our village”. He loves the people of Soman village as family members with a caring, protective leadership for all members. From then on, he became the spiritual father, the transmitter of the fire of freedom, and the soul of the insurrection of the Soman villagers.

Mr. Met is not the main character in the writer’s pen. But through the work, we can also see the great role of Mr. Met in embellishing the image of the character Tnú with storytelling in a story through a story. Soman village night. The image of Mat reminds us of the character of Uncle Nam in the work “Children in the family”.

Two people in two regions, but in the same era, are the predecessors, the history, the keepers of the fire and transmission of the flame to the younger generations, the spirit of the nation, greatly contributing to the victory. the common interests of the whole country on a day when the country is completely liberated, the people are free.

Although the image of Mr. Mat appears little through the pen of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh, what the writer describes about the village elder with a heart following the Party, believing in the revolution adds more value to the work “Rung Xa Nu”. resounding today and in the future. In the hearts of readers, Mr. Mat will forever be the immortal image of the giant autumn tree reaching out to protect the young generation to develop successfully to successfully carry out this national revolution.

If in the work “The ferryman” of writer Nguyen Tuan has drawn a character of a brave ferryman who bravely fights with the power of nature, then the old man Met by author Nguyen Trung Thanh in the work. The barnacle forest is distinguished by its solidity and solidity carved by the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands.

Not focusing on exploiting like the character Tnú, but Mr. Met still made a strong impression in the hearts of readers. Right from the time of its appearance, a village elder under the author’s pen is shown in the details “a heavy hand grips Tnú like an iron pliers”, or “bright and upside down eyes, scars” on the right cheek is still shiny… the chest is as tight as a big beam.” By the art of depiction, the image of Madam Met appears full of majesty, solidity, full of strength in both health and spirit.

Not only that, the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands have made him a voice “oh, resounding in the chest”. The words he said like an order, he never praised good or good, if he was satisfied, he would say “Okay”. The old man’s words have infused strength into the lectures on the glorious history of the villagers of Xo Man, his voice earnestly and solemnly teaching his children and grandchildren, “Do you hear that, children? Clearly? Remember, take it.”

In particular, that power was exploded when he gave the order to fight when he heard that Tnú had ten fingers burned by the enemy: “Knife! Cutting off”. His voice is the voice of the whole nation, the voice of history, which has led so many generations to grow up, grow up and know how to fight for the country.

Mr. Met is also a person with a deep love and a blood bond with his homeland. He taught Tnú, along with the following generations: “Civil servants are the Party. The Party still has a mountain in this country.” He always reminds his children far from home that no matter where they go, they must always remember and cherish the nation’s roots.

He was always proud of being born and raised with the sun and wind in the Central Highlands, along with the immense swarms of rafters that always stood before the waves. He affirmed that: “There is nothing as strong as the barnacle tree in our land”, “The rice produced by the Stra people is the best in this forest”. For Me, every drop of water we drink, every bowl of rice we eat that the country brings is so beautiful and precious.

Because of these ideas, he led the villagers of Soman with glorious educational lectures on the nation’s history. He is knowledgeable about the nation’s long-term resistance war, “fighting the Americans must fight for a long time”. More specifically, he is a very disciplined person when organizing and commanding the villagers to hide in the forest to wait for the opportunity to fight the enemy: “Light up the fire! All the old and the young, the man and the woman, each find a spear, a spear, an allegory, and a machete. Those who don’t have one, pick up five hundred spears.”

During the anti-American era, he became a strong support for the Soviet villagers. He encouraged the villagers to take care of the food reserves so that they could eat for up to three years because “a war must be fought for a long time”. Although his heart was boiling with hatred for the enemy, he remained calm and wise to find the right way to lead the villagers to fight. His spirit is always burning, the spirit is like the great trees of Xa Nu in the Central Highlands forest.

With such a noble and majestic appearance, he has a heart full of love for the villagers. When Tnú was returned with only the knuckles left after being burned by the enemy, he suppressed his sorrowful emotions to encourage him, “If you have two fingers, you can shoot a gun”.

When telling the villagers about the death of Tnú’s wife and children, he couldn’t contain his anger and grief, he felt sorry for his innocent children and grandchildren who were killed by barbarous enemies. for Tnú’s life, he “awkwardly wiped a tear with his hand”. Experiencing so much loss and separation by bombs and bullets, he still had to shed tears by the villagers and his relatives. It was that clumsy gesture that revealed his kind heart and love for his countrymen. He has become a fire that warms the heart and eases the pain of so many people. Mr. Met is the soul of the whole Vietnamese people and the people of Xo Man village in particular.

Although the image of Mr. Met rarely appears in the article, under the pen of Nguyen Trung Thanh, the character of Mr. Met with more outstanding qualities than humans, has brought all the resilient and indomitable spirits of the people of the Central Highlands. In our history, there are not a few people like Mr. Met, but the image of the old man standing shoulder to shoulder with the giant ramie tree in the Serpent Forest will live forever with all generations.

During the period of resistance against American imperialism, many short stories were born, works through images and characters that recreated a fierce war period. Typical for works written about this period is the work “Rung Xa Nu” (1965) printed in a volume on the homeland of Dien Ngoc heroes, the work is a mark of the reality of the people of the Central Highlands. heroically fighting against the US imperialists, the war was not only of the young generation of the villagers of Soman Tnu, Dit, Mai, Bet Heeng… but also the leadership of the village head, Mr. Met.

Uncle Met does not appear at the beginning of the work, but his appearance through the pen of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh also really leaves a strong impression in the hearts of readers. “A heavy hand gripped his shoulder like an iron pliers… The old man was still scowling, his beard now reaching to his chest and still shiny black, his eyes bright and slanted, the scar on his right cheek still shiny. ball!.. chest is as tight as a big beam…”

The writer has focused on describing his appearance from the very first lines about him. Mr. Met appeared with a strong and majestic body; The beard that reaches to his chest but is still black shows that he has the right appearance of a village elder, and his bright eyes show a man with quick and powerful intelligence.

With that little description, the writer has also partly proved that Uncle Met is the strength of the mountains and forests of the Central Highlands.

Through the pen of the writer, Mr. Met appears to be a man with deep love for the villagers, patriotism and hatred for the enemy. A typical example of his upbringing is little Heeng – little Heeng has absorbed the tradition of Mr. T-nú through the education of Mrs. Met. In the heart of old T-nú appeared the truth “his life is miserable but his belly is as clean as the spring water of our village”.

He loves the people of Soman village as family members with a caring, protective leadership for all members. Since then, he has become the spiritual father, the transmitter of the fire of freedom, and the soul for the co-emergence of the Soman villagers.

Through the author’s pen, the image of Mr. Met appears as a village elder who wholeheartedly believes in the Party and follows the Party. Mr. Mat is forever an image not only for the younger generation of the resistance against the US to follow, but also for the younger generation today in loving their homeland and country and building a better and better country.

In the anti-American era, patriotism is a pervasive content in Vietnamese literature. It burned strongly and developed to a new level of revolutionary heroism. Therefore, in the works not only appear heroic individuals, but also the whole hero collective. In the work of writer Nguyen Trung Thanh, besides the character Tnú, the heroic collective of Xo Man village stands out, in which the most prominent is the character of Mr.

For the people of Xo Man village, Mr. Met is the village elder, the oldest person and the representative of the community’s aspirations, the one who crystallizes the community’s strength and will. At the same time, Mr. Met was also the one who directly told the villagers of Xo Man about Tnú. As a village elder, with a powerful voice, the details related to Tnú’s life become true and objective.

Even though they are old, the old lady still retains the same squarish look as before, she is still the big ruffled tree of the village, her hand is curvaceous and strong, etc. Even though it is just a few details, the authors have shown it. , although he passed away, he was old but still had extremely tough and strong physical strength, his appearance seemed to have overcome the powerful destructive force of time; This appearance also partly proves the role of a pillar and a support like a big bamboo tree of Mr. Met with the villagers of Xo Man.

Behind the strong, resilient beauty is the beauty of her shining quality. First of all, he is a person who has a deep love for the Party and for the revolution, this is reflected in his whole life of persistent and resilient struggle, which is the scar left on his cheek.

Mr. Met wholeheartedly followed the Party and the revolution to go from the resistance war against the French to the resistance war against the US in the role of pillar, commander and leader of the villagers of Xo Man. Love for the Party and revolution is also expressed through simple but meaningful words: “The Party is still there. This mountain is still there”. No fuss, but with his rustic thinking and natural language, he showed his deep love for the Party, and at the same time aroused that love in the hearts of every Xo Man villager.

Not only that, he is also a person with life experience, bravery and experience. Those are the things that make him always make the right and wise decisions in the most important moments. He was also the one who realized: “They have guns, I have to take spears”, it was he who overcame Tnú’s impatience to return to the forest, then returned with young men and young men to save him. Tu. His life experience has a direct influence on the existence and development of the villagers of Xo Man.

He is also the person who always seeks to keep the fire, spread the fire and encourage the next generation to follow in the footsteps of his father’s generation. And the most important role of Mr. Met is also the most outstanding quality is that he gives conclusions and replaces the author to speak for the truths of the time and the community.

Each word slowly, but firmly, firmly: “They have guns, I have to hold spears”, showing the old man’s sensitivity to the changes of the times. Because Tnú could not save his wife and children with only his bare hands, he was also brutally tortured by the enemy; Because only the hand is empty, so many people have fallen. He was aware that the times have changed, the invaders are increasingly using advanced weapons with more sophisticated fighting methods, so just with bare hands, we will definitely fail.

His words set out the urgent task of moving from spontaneous struggle to self-conscious and armed struggle with careful and thoughtful preparation. That is not only important to the struggle of the people of the Central Highlands, but it is also the truth of the times, crystallized from the community’s wisdom. Mr. Met has replaced the author to speak that truth. With his rich experience and life experience, he makes that perception deeper and more valuable.

For the villagers of Xo Man, Old Me is the soul, a solid support in both strength and thought and awareness. He is both the embodiment of the heroic past to become a shining example for the next generation, and a mentor, helper, and promoter of the struggle history of Xo Man village and the people of the Central Highlands. more heroic.

“Forest of Sorrows” is a work of epic color when faithfully recreating the mettle and heroic spirit of the heroic Central Highlands people. Besides the character Tnú, the appearance of Mr. Met contributes to making the epic quality more bold.

Mr. Met appears in the work with the majestic and strong appearance of the head of a village. It was a village elder “squarish, eyes bright and slanted, the scar on his right cheek is still shining… his chest is as tight as a big raspberry tree” with strong determination “a heavy hand grips tightly. take Tnú like an iron pliers”.

Building the character of Mr. Met with stern, steady lines, full of spiritual power is the way writer Nguyen Trung Thanh explains about the position, charisma, and strong persuasion of the character of Mr. Xo Man village community.

Ma’s voice “oh resounds in the chest”, his words are simple but extremely decisive, showing the decisiveness and strength of a leader. In particular, Mr. Met rarely compliments someone, when he is most satisfied, he will only say “yes”, this is a special personality trait that shows his high expectations for others as well as for others. for yourself.

Her voice also has the ability to guide the villagers of Xo Man, it is the shouts when the village of Xo Man rebelled to save Tnú, as well as the low and quiet voice like the echo of the mountains when she talks about her life. Tnú’s many events, about the glorious victories of the village, and also his stern reminders to his children and grandchildren: “Did you hear that, children? Clearly? Remember, write down…”.

Mr. Met is a person with deep patriotism, a sense of blood and blood ties to his homeland and villages. He is always proud of the good tradition of the village, about the strength of the sa nu forest “There is nothing as strong as the barnacle tree in our land” or “The rice produced by the Stra people is the best in this mountain forest”.

He always looked towards the light of the revolution, completely believed in the revolution, he always advised his children and grandchildren: “The cadres are the Party, the Party is still, the mountains of this country are still”. From the heart of love for the homeland and the village, Mr. Met came to the revolution and led the people of the Soman village to follow the revolution and fight for the liberation of the village and homeland.

Contrary to his stern and stern appearance, Mr. Met is a person rich in love for Tnú as well as the villagers of Soman. After three years in the army, when returning to the village to visit his homeland, his relatives and grandparents welcomed Tnú like an old father to his son who had been away for a long time. Two burnings can also shoot guns”, looking down at the old man’s hand, he regretted, expressing his hatred for the brutality of the enemy, “the old man put down the rice bowl and got angry”.

When he was given a pack of salt from people who were far away, he did not keep it for himself, but divided it equally among the people in the village, for the sick. Although it is only a small grain of salt, it is the rich salty taste of humanity in his heart.

Mr. Met is solid and strong like an ancient rafter tree, a solid support for the people in the village.

He is a wise and foresight person when he encourages the villagers to stock up on food to last for up to three years because “fighting the US has to fight long”. Before the death of Tnú’s wife and children, witnessing Tnú’s torture, even though it was extremely painful, Mr. Met was still wise because he knew that if he only had two hands, he could not save Tnú’s family, so he entered the house. Forest looking for youth, looking for spears and spears to simultaneously rebel and kill the enemy.

Mr. Met is a village elder with many good qualities, a wise leader for an entire community. Following the story of Tnú, the image of Mr. Met appears beautifully, reminiscent of the village elders and clan chiefs in epics, myths, in the heroic epics of the old Central Highlands.
