2012 June 3, Lê Minh Ngọc, “Món Quà Của Tình Yêu Thương ”, in Hà Nội Mới , archived from the original on 2012-12-10:Buổi tối, vào phòng riêng, tôi thấy một hộp quà đặt trên đầu giường. Tôi mở ra, là một chiếc chuông gió và tấm thiệp với hàng chữ to cồ cộ của em trai tôi: "Chị ơi, bố mẹ biết chị em mình giận dỗi nhau sẽ buồn lắm đấy. Chúng ta làm lành nhé! Em chúc chị sinh nhật thật nhiều niềm vui!"- In the evening, having entered my own room, I saw a gift-box put on my bed's topmost corner. I opened it; there were a windchime and a card with my little brother's large-and-big-font handwritings: "Big Sis, if Dad and Mom know we're mad at each other they'll be very sad. Let's make peace! I wish you a lot of happiness on your birthday!"
