The old folk, together again in Mỹ Sơn
Only what the chapter says. The tree grows as new chapters arrive. Portraits are drawn from family photos where we have them; the rest are imagined.

A film with no video file
This chapter’s film is a small JavaScript program, like the chapters before it. Bác Tín’s teasing verse for thím Mười is set as paper labels, word for word from the memoir. The sound effects are synthesised in the browser. The two recorded tracks are the narration, in his own cloned voice for Vietnamese, and the score.
