Dear Readers,
As we welcome the Year of the Fiery Horse, we send you our deepest gratitude for standing with The Vietnamese Magazine—for your attention, your trust, and your unwavering belief in independent journalism.
To begin this new year with meaning, we are honored to offer a small gift to all our readers: a special PDF collection of five essays in English by Phạm Đoan Trang, our co-founder and a prominent Vietnamese journalist and writer, whose courage and clarity continue to inspire conversations about freedom, dignity, and civic responsibility. We hope these pages accompany you as both reflection and renewal. Please review it here.
May the Fiery Horse bring you strength, resilience, and the bold spirit to pursue truth wherever it leads.
And as we celebrate, we also remember: February 17 marks the anniversary of the 1979 Border War between Việt Nam and China—a solemn reminder of sacrifice, sovereignty, and the weight of history that continues to shape our present.
With appreciation and hope for the year ahead.
The Editorial Board at The Vietnamese Magazine
