Today I'm going to talk about an elderly person whom I find fascinating. I will begin by saying something about who this person is. I have to go for Mr. Nam, a retired photojournalist who is my next-door neighbor. He is in his late sixties. He still has a very sharp mind and an energetic spirit. Now, moving on to where he lives, I need to mention that he lives in a small cozy house in the suburbs of Hanoi. This area is very peaceful, with a small garden where he offers things to you every morning. Now, in reference to what he has done in his life, I suppose I could say that he has had an incredible journey. As a wartime photographer, he traveled to many remote places to capture historical moments. Now he teaches free photography to poor children. In answer to the question of how I feel about this person, I must say that I have deep respect for him. He is a living history book, and he has inspired me greatly to live my life to the fullest.
