In other words, one of the distinctive features of narrative devices used in Nguyen Huy Thiep's short stories is the non-chronological narrative genre represented through the change in the order of time, the narrative of thought, and the technique of simultaneity. It can be said that Nguyen Huy Thiep's renovation in the narrative genre, namely the non-chronological narrative has made a contribution to establishing a distinctive structure of chronology in his own short stories.
