The flow of water… now has a parallel with the flow of people. The water is slow and quiet, the people are in a hurry and bustle. In what direction do you put your thoughts?
After work in the afternoon, everyone wraps themselves in the red and blue lights of the city and the rushing sound of cars. Hurry, rush, rush back home, or go to the market, taking advantage of this place and that place.
But somewhere, weaving in and out of the hustle and bustle is the sound of invitations and dates: “Let’s go around the lake to watch the sunset” “Hello, after work, let’s go to the lake to eat grilled meat on skewers!”
The extremes continue to intertwine. In the hustle and bustle, people actively seek peace. Besides the streams of people rushing and rushing fast, there are streams of people flowing very slowly and leisurely by the lake.
They fish, play chess, ride bicycles and love.
Located next to a busy street, the green lake opens up space for the cramped lives of people.
Uncle Minh – a person living right next to the lake, has a habit of coming here every morning to jog, and in the afternoon he drops his rod and fishes.
He shared: the caught fish brought home, sometimes his wife and children don’t eat it, he also doesn’t sell it, but the joy is being able to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere with his brothers every afternoon, watching the sunset by the lake without being anywhere else. have been.
It doesn’t cost anything to go fishing. While waiting for the fish to bite, you also reflect on what’s happening right now. The feeling of sitting here is also clear, but staying at home and thinking about it is very stuffy!
Whenever I’m stuck for ideas, I will also try to apply this method of Uncle Minh. There is no need for big words or complicated problems, all solutions will appear when our mind is peaceful, calm and gentle.
We also met many other people who visited Ho Dac Di that day. When asked about their feelings in this place, the common point that everyone sees is comfort, peace and overflowing vitality.
That’s right, everyone here is like that, their faces are bright and full of “play”. There was a couple who played chess from dawn until dusk. The two boys asked for a temporary draw in this game, probably to return home in time for dinner. Yet for some unknown reason, the “Pawns” and “Knights” have not yet rested, their strategies keep running around until dark.
Some couples just kept resting their heads together, letting time pass, and because it was the end of the day. They whispered and confided in words that no one could hear clearly, but that cuteness spread to everyone.
The sound of advertising and traffic is nothing when you are focusing on completing the task of catching the fish.
Even if the surrounding sounds provoke “Put the firecrackers in the car”, “Now you can win the general”,… then we are still sure of our strategy, it is better to be slow and win than to be fast and lose.
The same is true when it comes to eating and drinking. The stream of people rushed past, so I sat here to enjoy a few skewers of sizzling pork rolls. The moment of carefree drinking at the end of the day in the refreshing coolness of the lake, there are no words that can describe it.
Ho Dac Di is famous for its skewered meat shops, which are crowded with customers every afternoon. Just at the beginning of the street, the fragrant smell of grilled meat makes my hungry stomach want to scream after work. Customers come here and the sales staff spread out cushions and chairs around the lakeside.
Savoring skewered meat, laughing and chatting, jostling in the dust of the streets, crowded with people passing by who knows when, is the way Hanoi people enjoy and relax at the end of the day.
