News at Eleven: [Le Van Kinh] spent more than ten years

to embroider the 14 poetic paintings.

"Ten years ago, a group of American journalists came to Vietnam to learn about Vietnam's embroidery. They visited my shop. They asked me Vietnam has many good poems in books but why they are not on paintings? I thought a lot about their question and I made these paintings," he said.

The poem was embroidered in Vietnamese, French, English, German, Russian, Italian, Danish, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, etc.
