In Tran Cong Chuc s childhood memories, planes whirred above the sky and bombs crashed down onto the earth in front of his house beside the Ben Hai River. From 1954 to 1972, the Hien Luong River in his central Quang Tri Province hometown was the temporary dividing line separating Vietnam into North and South.
