"In the entrance of the famous Temple of Apollo in Delphi, every visitor is greeted with a line of text translated into Vietnamese as 'understand oneself,'" expressed poet Duong Ky Anh, former Editor-in-Chief of Tien Phong Newspaper, in an article reflecting on his impressions while reading the book "Appointment with Bulgaria."
