The Precious Things You Have Kept.

If a river does not flow to the sea, then… where does it go?

A book title. Turning each page. Reading. Restless. Reflective. And suddenly, the question arises: why?

That was the range of emotions I felt as I followed the interwoven stories—struggles, hardships, and turning points—that Zennie shared. Through every page, she carried an energy of courage and integrity, protecting her personal values and choosing to hold on to the shimmering truths of her authentic self.

She writes about her life, tells the story of her work, and captures moments that, in many ways, felt as if she were also writing for me at those crossroads of choice and boundary: to “overcome and grow” or to “compromise for safety” on my own river. All of this stirred me deeply, compelling me to reflect on myself. And her journey inspired me with one powerful spirit: the courage to live true to one’s choices.

For those who know Zennie Trang and may wonder where she has kept her most precious treasures, I would say: “I cannot claim to know them all, but I know with certainty that a significant part of them has been entrusted to the words on these pages.”

Thank you, Zennie, for writing the book of your life—a life worth telling, and one that cannot be forgotten.
