Synopsis (English)Giữ Lòng (or Keeping the Heart) is a collection of short stories centered on ordinary lives in a cold land - people who have left their homeland and entered a new society shaped by unfamiliar rules, rhythms, and quiet pressures. Here, coldness is not only a matter of climate, but also of distance: between people, between choices that are right and choices that are merely convenient.The six stories do not seek grand events or heroic figures. Instead, they follow individuals navigating work, aging, responsibility, and memory, as they try to preserve what may seem modest but essential: decency, restraint, moral awareness, and the ability to face one’s own conscience. Ethics in these stories are never declared as principles; they reveal themselves through everyday gestures, through silence, through how one treats those more vulnerable, and sometimes, how one treats oneself.Moving from the struggle to build a life in a snowy land, to lessons passed down without words; from moments when human integrity is tested in the depth of winter, to the aftertaste carried into the next generation, Keeping the Heart asks a quiet, persistent question: as circumstances change, what remains within us?More than stories of migration, this collection is a reflection on how people learn not to lose themselves amid transformation.Synopsis (Tiếng Việt)Giữ Lòng là một tập truyện ngắn xoay quanh đời sống của những con người bình thường nơi xứ lạnh - những người đã rời quê hương, bước vào một xã hội mới với luật lệ, nhịp sống và những thử thách chưa từng quen thuộc. Ở đó, cái lạnh không chỉ hiện diện trong thời tiết, mà còn trong khoảng cách giữa người với người, giữa lựa chọn đúng và lựa chọn dễ.Sáu truyện trong tập không kể về những biến cố lớn, cũng không dựng nên những anh hùng. Chúng lặng lẽ theo chân những con người đang mưu sinh, đang già đi, đang gìn giữ những giá trị tưởng như nhỏ bé: sự tử tế, lòng chừng mực, ý thức về đúng - sai, và khả năng nhìn thẳng vào lương tâm mình. Đạo sống trong những câu chuyện này không được gọi tên bằng khái niệm, mà hiện ra qua những cử chỉ đời thường, qua im lặng, qua cách đối xử với người yếu thế hơn, và đôi khi, với chính bản thân mình.Từ hành trình lập nghiệp nơi xứ tuyết, đến những bài học truyền đời không cần lời giảng; từ những khoảnh khắc thử thách nhân tính trong mùa đông khắc nghiệt, đến dư vị lắng lại nơi thế hệ sau - Giữ Lòng đặt ra một câu hỏi xuyên suốt: khi đời sống đổi thay không ngừng, con người còn giữ lại được điều gì bên trong mình?Đây không chỉ là những câu chuyện về nhập cư, mà là những ghi chép về cách con người học cách không đánh rơi mình giữa đổi thay.
