"Beloved Homeland" comprises 192 poems, mostly written in the lục bát (six-eight) meter, but also includes thất ngôn bát cú (seven-eight) and free verse. The collection praises love for homeland and country, especially the land and people of Thai Nguyen . In addition, many poems vividly portray the revolutionary spirit, honoring the brave sons and daughters who sacrificed themselves for the Fatherland.

Besides familiar themes of family and life, Truong The Dung's poetry also has an existentialist tone, reflecting on the human condition, the changing times, and the meaning of existence.

With its flexible writing style and simple yet profound language, the poetry collection naturally blends content and form. The unique perspectives on landscapes and people are presented authentically and emotionally, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.

Beloved Homeland is the second poetry collection by author Truong The Dung, following the success of Homeland Fragrance (published in mid-2023). The work further affirms the author's dedication to writing and contributes to enriching the literary and artistic landscape of Thai Nguyen.
