In the prose works by Ho Bieu Chanh, Binh Nguyen Loc and Son Nam - typical writers of different generations coming from the South - the images of Southern people are described from many angles: boldness, generosity, responsibility, helpfulness, unselfishness and frankness. That is not only the awareness of continuing Vietnamese traditional values but also the affirmation of the unique characteristics of Southern people. The characteristic of respecting mutual affection and despising lucre becomes a typical feature of Southern people, which was and is a great source of inspiration to the local writers. It is also the bond connecting the authors who were, are and will be motivated to write about the people of their beloved homeland.
