Speaking at the opening ceremony of the cooking contest “Journalists in the Kitchen - Connecting Love”, journalist Le Tran Nguyen Huy, Acting Editor-in-Chief of the Journalists and Public Opinion Newspaper - Chairman of the Trade Union of the Central Agency of the Vietnam Journalists Association, said that modern life brings convenience to people, but sometimes it also takes away profound values. When my generation was young, we ate three meals a day at home, and did not know about “eating out”.
Journalist Le Tran Nguyen Huy, Acting Editor-in-Chief of the Journalists and Public Opinion Newspaper - Chairman of the Trade Union of the Central Agency of the Vietnam Journalists Association spoke at the contest.
When we grow up, when we have a chance to sit down together, the stories we tell will also return to the dinner table when we were young. It is like a lasting connection, so that even if there are conflicts that arise when we sit down together at the dinner table, each person has sad stories to remember, and then big things become small, small things become nothing. Because we are all brothers and sisters, we have had happy moments around the simple dinner table.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, people have to race against time and work, but each person needs to know how to arrange everything harmoniously to have precious moments for family, to gather around the dinner table after a day of work.
