Summary of the thesis's findings: Today, we can affirm that Tham Tam has become a figure in Vietnamese literary history, and through his lyrical prose, he has made significant contributions to the national literature. In the social context of his time, Tham Tam was among many writers whose only means of livelihood was through writing. The rich reality of life provided Tham Tam with numerous themes to write about. Ordinary, impoverished laborers, intellectuals, civil servants, prostitutes, etc., were the subjects Tham Tam focused on most. Reading Tham Tam's stories, we feel that he handled and decided very quickly in choosing the appropriate structure, characters, and language to suit the subject matter, clearly expressing his ideas to build a work. It seems that Tham Tam did not meticulously refine every detail and word like the meticulousness of Nguyen Tuan or To Hoai. From a story he overheard, Tham Tam quickly added his own "flavor" and "salt" to make it richer and more appealing—a talent not every writer possesses, although stories that achieve profound inner emotional resonance are few and lack depth and conciseness. Tham Tam's words still shine with an extraordinary beauty. This beauty lies in his empathy, understanding, and shared sorrow, expressing profound humanity—especially towards women, among the characters and on the part of the author. Although Tham Tam uses many Sino-Vietnamese words and the plots of some works are presented chronologically in the style of traditional stories, he has skillfully employed modern short story poetics: direct descriptions of physical appearance, the combination and shifting of multiple viewpoints, the use of monologues and dialogues, and compressed time to express the depth of the characters' nature, psychology, and inner world… all of which create diverse tones and a polyphonic quality in his works, alongside his gentle and subtle descriptions of nature. Tham Tam has long been known as a famous poet, and now we are introduced to his short stories. He remains the same person, but his prose has become the repository of his literary essence, a space that would be too limited and constrained if he only focused on poetry.

Reading Tham Tam story, we felt treated very quickly and decided to use the selection structure, characters, language suitable to the subject, clearly thought to build a work. Tham Tam did not seem fussy, chau broaching to every detail, such as the ratio rash words of Nguyen Tuan, To Hoai. From a story that could be overheard, Tham Tam also quickly added a little sauce, pinch of salt into the strong, immediate appeal, it was a financial writer and not always successful. But the story reaches deep vibration less introspective and lacks the casting, deposition. the words of Tham Tam still light up the incredible beauty. beauty was empathy, understanding, sharing sadness, expressing deep humanity-especially for women, between the characters and the author. While Tham Tam used many Han-Vietnamese words, the plot of a number of works presented in order of year represents the traditional style story, but Tham Tam had used modern poetics of short stories rather smoothly: way described by way of a direct appearance, combined and moved many viewpoints, using language monologue, dialogue, time to express pent-depth nature, psychology, inner world of character…all created different tone, multi-payment for work next to describe the way natural light, subtl. Tham Tam had long been well known as the famous poet, to present our future exposure to Tham Tam short story. Be still the man but he had an array of fiction where coal ash deposited by the literary elite, but if Tham Tam stopped to stay in poetry alone would be cramped and limiting.
