Tet, 1975: Rok mačky
Tet, 1975:Year of the Cat
RISING ACTION
The story begins on Tet, the Vietnamese New Year in 1975. Kim Hà lives in Saigon with her loving family: mother and older brothers Quang, Vû, and Khôi. Vietnam has been at war for decades but Saigon remains under the control of the South Vietnamese government for now. However, it is only a matter of time before the communist North Vietnamese take over.
CLIMAX
Hà's father disappeared nine years ago on a mission for the South Vietnamese Navy. He is considered "missing in action." They miss their father terribly and Hà's mother has to support the family on her own. It is very difficult as the war makes everything scarce. With the impending siege of Saigon by the North Vietnamese, people have begun evacuating. Hà's family must decide whether to stay or try to flee.
PÁDOVÁ AKCIA
H a rodina robí ťažké rozhodnutie utiecť. Musia za sebou nechať všetko okrem toho, čo môžu nosiť v malých batohoch. Nastupujú na loď juhovietnamského námorníctva, ktorá je určená na náhradu utečencov spolu so stovkami ďalších, a plavia sa týždne bez jedla a vody. Saigon spadá na severovietnamský a južný Vietnam už nie je. Našťastie sa dostanú do Spojených štátov, kde sa ich ujme štedrý „kovboj“ a jeho neláskavá manželka.
ROZHODNUTIE
Hà's family start over in America. They face hateful racism from their neighbors. English is difficult to learn. Hà is bullied at school. Hà confides in her mother that she is miserable and wishes they could have stayed in Vietnam. Her family and a few new friends help Hà to stand up to the main bully, "Pink Boy". Brother Vû Lee arrives on his motorcycle and intimidates the boy. At school, things begin to change for the better after that.
Jedného dňa, keď matka H a je v práci, ona náhodne stratí svoj snubný prsteň. Bola to posledná kravata, ktorú mala rodina so svojím otcom. Vždy verili, že sa nejako vráti, ale toto nešťastie sa javí ako znamenie pre rodinu, aby prijala jeho smrť a išla ďalej. Spoločne s ním usporiadajú tradičný pohrebný obrad.
The story ends with the the family celebrating Tet again in 1976. In Vietnamese culture, everyone is one year older on Tet and it is a chance to ensure good fortune for the coming year. Hà prays for her father to find a safe passage to his final resting place, for each of her brothers and her mother, and that she "truly learns to fly-kick, not to kick anyone so much as to fly."
