“Why I have more dreams than anyone else around me ? why I demand a lot more from life ? ” she asked this when she was serving the nation as a Doctor in a gureilla camp in Vietnam, and the US army was closing in.Yes, thousands were dying infront of her…friends who said good bye in the morning came either as dead bodies or as badly injured after few hours. ” And she was writing a diary filled with love and dreams yes a lot….. her war time dreams
“Just yesterday,” she writes at one point, “a badly wounded soldier 21 years old called out my name hoping I could help him, but I could not, and my tears fell as I watched him die in my useless hands.” Afer a lot of years ..she is making the youngsters of her country feel deeply patriotric and telling them how tough and how sad where the days when their parents fought for the nation
“Later, if you are ever able to live in the beautiful sunshine with the flowers of Socialism,” writes Tram, addressing herself, “remember the sacrifices of those who gave their blood for the common goal.” Yes ..her words come true with her diary getting published…in her country and an English Version awaiting release.
An American soldier saved it from the fire when his friend said ….” ‘Don’t burn this one, Fred, it already has fire in it.’”.
I am waiting for this books to be published in English. Read more about her here
