According to Cheryll Glotfelty, ecocritisim, simply put, is the study of the relationship between literature and physical environment. Ecocritisim argues the ecological theories of human sciences, which adopt "anthropocentrism" to propose the “earthcentrered” approach to literary studies. This paper focuses on the desire to “read” short stories by Nguyen Ngoc Tu through the eyes of core ideas of ecocritism. From this angle, the writer posed in a direct way environmental issues and human life destiny in the age of environmental crisis. Simultaneously, she brought out to discussion a way to listen to the voice of nature to find the answers to the crisis of modern humans. She also proposed an attitude: Human should live in balance with nature for peace and happiness.
