Vietnam War did terminate on 30 April 1975. After 20 years, the war had taken several millions of lives away; manifestly, the only way to reward those who lost their lives for that long nightmarish war, is to attach the peace to them. On the other hand, according to a voice that widely heard in mankind, upon the bloodshed of soldiers is a victory for the survival.
The war is a subject for thousands of books, magazines and news papers; and that pins to me through out a few decades, I am so thoughtful about it that even feeling owing to my readers, then pledge to myself that I won’t die until this work done. Nevertheless, I got to overcome many obstructions before writing, even for the primary question such as the point of view whereon I write, my answer is almost suspended, until now my wish is released to come, rather late but better than never.
As matter of fact, none of mankind may proclaim one’s love to war, but it does come and take many lives away although mankind is trying to cease it. Many people assume that the war is known in none of animal kingdom but human being, I am not knowledgeable enough to deny this allegation and so I hesitate in recognising it. Nevertheless, I assume that the war is born in the aggressive manner of some huge leaders, and then it comes out of their control.
In historic literature of mankind, there is some great work coming from war, and even there are several writers who mentioned war or wars as historic marks, hot points as commemorating the important historic time, such as WWI, WWII. And I am not exceptional, such a writer. However, I have no ambition to write about the conflict and war, just use information of war to fabricate stories for entertaining a humble number of my own readers.
At initial when I put pen to paper, this story is titled: ‘’beyond the lives, a diary’’; but after some chapter done, many coordinators assume that the word ‘’diary’’ should not be used; because the story is almost fabricated, then that title must sound smirk.
The story is written for and comforts the people whoever experience Vietnam War, especially the battle of bloodshed:
Khe Sanh (1968)
In my own view, the battle is the bloodiest one in Vietnam War, where as many as thousands of lives taken (a citation from the war history is attached to this for reference). The cite Khe Sanh is accompanied by some well-known names such as A-lin stream, Lao Bao border gate, Pakxe, Rock Pile, Razor Blade…
The data from history book of U.S Army recorded some figures as followings: 730 U.S soldiers, 229 Vietnamese Saigon soldiers, 1600 Hanoi soldiers dead. 7 American and 7 Saigon soldiers are missing. 10-15 thousand casualties.

Although each of the war characters was born in a different family, but they all came Khe Sanh and dead there; after the death, their corpses were hidden in some hollow of the mountain wall and the holy stone there maintained them, while they were reported missing.
The particular corpses of a Hanoien doctor and an American soldier are treated with a special chemical that embalms them. The embalmment in holy stone hollow makes them magic; their corpses, thus, are still alive, their brains and souls are still clever and active. The chemical is:

an undicovered secret of Khe Sanh. Whoever missing in Khe Sanh, their souls found no place to go, neither heaven nor underworld receives them, and so the souls are together with us. This story is written about those ghosts and ourselves. Furthermore, along the way to looking for a spiritual medium who can help the souls in contacting with human being, the souls are to face many troubles, unjustified incidents and even corruption as well as human dirty tricks in human social.
Khe Sanh, in Sino-Vietnamese explanation, means a chink of life; the author, is therefore, to propose a site called Death Valley ‘’Lung Tu’’ that allocates in adjacent to Khe Sanh but opposite to it on term of the influence to the souls. That valley is a place where no soul fostered but reincarnating right away to wild animal after the death. Although the valley does not contribute much to the story but with the antonym Lung Tu, a counterbalance to the chink of life Khe Sanh is designated.
For those who came from America and dead in Vietnam, the war is recognized as one for freedom to Vietnamese people, so they claim the honour reward for their contribution in liberation. For those who fight to protect the republic government of Saigon, they are to claim honour reward to their struggle against alleged invade of ‘’communism’’
[1]. For the Hanoi soldiers and followers, they have their own purpose to fight as against American occupation; all of them dead in war sorrow, therefore their wording is much in paradox and even hot sometimes.

The U.S and its influence to the world as well as the consumption markets in it are attractive to every economy in the world, many countries are becoming huge by using the tie with U.S. So Vietnam, not exceptional, is trying to be one.
To follow the characters of this story is to follow a little current of many historic streams of Vietnam and its tie with U.S, especially the duration from Khe Sanh combat (1968) to Y2K plus.
After Khe Sanh combat is a time for the big changes to the relation between U.S and Vietnam, such as Paris Accord for Vietnam (1973), April 30th 1975 event e.t.c. The U.S-Vietnam tie, after such big change, becomes better under Hanoi-Pentagon time.
After Bill Clinton is George Bush and then Barrack Obama, they all mind no matter what political status at Hanoi, take care of Vietnam and the U.S-Vietnam tie; if observed from a certain angle, they all look satisfactory. Undoubtedly, for the sake of applying its influence to Vietnam, U.S in 2010 must be much better than itself in 1968, I cannot deny if anyone says that the U.S-Vietnam relation today is the dream that they both ever dream.

The apology that author should say is one for his word borrowing, in fact too many human words used, quite non-suitable for the ghost.
The time used in this story is almost in lunar calendar. In the west, no lunar calendar used, but the westerners do recognise the important role of moon in the universe and human life, the lunar day in the west is called: age of the moon.
If this story hurts any of you, accept my apologies, I don’t definitely write with such intention.
Thank you,
Enjoy your reading,
