Listen. Record. Retell.

Foreword

There are people we pass every day in the hallway, on the schoolyard, in the classroom next door — and yet never truly know.

Humans of Ngo Quyen was born to tell those stories. The story of the girl away from home for the first time. Of the boy at the back of the class who is always smiling. Of the teacher who has stood at the lectern for thirty years. Of the guard who remembers the name of every student passing through the gate.

We believe that behind every smile, every glance, every hurried nod — lies an entire universe. And our task, quite simply, is to listen and then to retell.

About Us

About Us

Humans of Ngo Quyen is a magazine club, founded in 2024 by students who love people and love this school. Inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York and Humans of Hanoi, we brought that way of storytelling home to Ngo Quyen — where thousands of lives unfold side by side.

We believe that to understand a school, you need not read its history — you need only listen to the people living within it.
