Thế hệ 1954 chắc vẩn còn nhớ tới nhà văn Khái Hưng với truyện “ Sóng gió Đồ Sơn “
Sóng Gió Ðồ Sơn, Khái Hưng
Năm giờ sáng. Sau hàng lan can chạy thẳng ngăn bãi cát lượn vòng theo hình bán nguyệt, rặng nhà phố Ðồ Sơn cửa chớp đóng kín như có chiều hờn giận vừng thái dương vội mọc. Những khóm thông rung rinh đương thì thầm cùng nhau câu chuyện bí mật được nghe tối hôm qua ở trên bãi biển. Cho chí làn sóng buổi chiều xô đẩy vào bờ nô đùa, gầm hét dữ dội như thế, giờ cũng như chán nản, lặng lẽ, từ từ kéo nhau xa lánh. Phố Ðồ Sơn sau một buổi nhộn nhịp, vui cười, bây giờ như đương miên man trong giấc mộng. Trên bãi cát vàng bỗng có tiếng cười khanh khách: Ba cô thung thăng đi đi lại lại trò chuyện huyên thuyên. Cô Bạch Tuyết bảo cô Vân Lan và cô Thu Cúc:
– Hai cậu ạ, nhất định em không sợ, em cứ để hắn hy vọng hão….
