Driven by the aspiration to "renew what is old, to revive what is dead," Nguyen Quang Thieu has constructed a vivid plot with distinctive details and a surprising, intriguing ending. Beyond the psychological development structure, the work employs a cinematic collage style, successfully portraying the overwhelming issues of contemporary life. Through character development based on appearance and psychological analysis, the character system is quite rich: characters yearning for everyday happiness; lonely, unhappy characters; characters with spiritual depth; characters with mistakes and backwardness. The language is multifaceted, rich in imagery and poetic quality. The tone is sometimes intimate and sharing, sometimes deeply compassionate, and the creation of spaces imbued with national character—the river, the moonlight, the grass—creates the multifaceted meaning of the work. The reversal of the past-present-future order, and the use of nighttime, reflects a humanist perspective and ideology in portraying the emotions and destinies of individuals. The thesis also affirms the talent and style of Nguyen Quang Thieu – one of the writers who created a distinctive mark on literature during the đổi mới (renovation) period.
