Sharing that concern during morning tea with some retired friends, everyone expressed the same indignation as Mr. Hung. Mr. Khang spoke up:

- I cannot accept the way some people think when they think that it is necessary to review the Literature subject in the general education program in the direction of removing resistance literature works and adding more new and modern literature works. They also share and advocate that online. I wonder if these people understand that literature is a source that runs from history to the present. It is true that it is necessary to continuously receive and add new and valuable works to the general education program. But if there is no past, no history, no glorious tradition, how can there be a literature like today?

Mr. Thanh continued:

- Actually, I think these people have bad intentions, you two. Not only are they aiming at literature, they have a deep plot to deny a part of history, so that the young generation will gradually no longer know about the heroic years of resistance of the nation, the blood sacrifices of the previous generation.

Illustration: Candidates entering the 2023 high school graduation exam.

- Mr. Thanh is right! I am most concerned that this information has been shared by some young people. With immature thoughts and an unstable stance, these children are easily exploited by people with malicious political intentions, oriented to achieve the goal of sabotage, luring young people away from national cultural values, following imported culture, pragmatic lifestyle, turning their backs on history, forgetting the merits of their ancestors, living ungratefully - Mr. Hung continued to express his concern.

Mr. Khang enthusiastically:

- It is clear that those with bad intentions are using the completely normal exam questions to distort and openly sabotage, it is no longer a trivial matter. So, what should we do, gentlemen? Could it be that we, the elders, seeing this, will let bad people lure our children and grandchildren?

The three retired friends immediately agreed that each would write a number of propaganda articles on their personal Facebook and Blogs to help people clearly understand the arguments of the discontented and destructive people. As for Mr. Khang, a former Literature teacher and contributor to several newspapers, he would write articles to fight against the destructive arguments of hostile forces.
