Amidst the lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, a fifth-grade literary "prodigy" schoolboy Tran Ba ​​Ba was stuck in a cramped apartment in Hanoi, busy studying online. But then, an opportunity to become "free" came up when Ba Ba's father took him to his hometown for summer vacation. In the mountainous region with a rich traditional cultural identity, the boy has learned and experienced many interesting things that cannot be found in any textbook.

The author of this book was the winner of the prize for "Children's Literary Composition Competition" in 1993, which was jointly organised by the UNICEF in Hanoi, Vietnam Writers' Association and the Committee for Child Care and Protection.
