Báo Dân trí•23/01/2025
(Dan Tri) - Tet still knocks on the door every year, but do children now still feel the magic of Tet like their parents did? Has Tet gradually faded from children's memories?
Understanding the common feelings of parents who always want their children to experience a happy Tet and understand the meaning of Tet, Knorr brings the story "Finding the Lost Tet", where the team of children are assigned by their mother to go into the kitchen; create a new menu; season the Tet soup to gradually find Tet again. The bell signals "Tet is fading away" The old Tet has a magical, wonderful flavor in the mother's memory: from the aroma of leaves, sticky rice, meat by the grandmother's simmering fire, miraculously transformed into the rich flavor of Tet cakes. Is Tet now fading away in children? When for children, Tet is now just a long vacation at home with the lament: "I don't know what's fun about Tet?". Maybe Tet is just a long vacation, children have a lot of time to watch TV or play video games. To help children understand the meaning of Tet, Knorr brings a short film with the theme: Is "Tet getting lost". Are children getting bored of Tet? This interesting way of posing the question makes viewers wonder: Why is Tet lost? Are children not really interested in Tet, or do they just not fully understand the meaning of Tet and have not participated in interesting Tet activities? Where to find Tet and who will find Tet? Will Tet be as fun as before? Mom lets her child into the kitchen, not afraid of "failing", so that the child can "find a rich Tet" . The child's random complaints have hit the mother's heart. It's time for the mother to "rise up" and initiate the mission "Searching for the lost Tet". Mission "Finding Lost Tet" with clues. The first scene is the market, where children can personally explore and discover ingredients to cook delicious Tet dishes; they can see the bustling buying and selling scene, see shrimp, fish, fresh vegetables - things that they normally rarely have the opportunity to see or hold in their hands, but only see through hot bowls of food that their mother has prepared. The second is the familiar kitchen, where the children can freely create to fulfill the responsibility their mother has given them: to cook delicious Tet dishes so that Tet can come home. The eldest sister Ty shows danger with a self-carved carrot flower, or Teo rolls spring rolls in a messy style, while the younger sister Ti is carefree: "Wherever there is a fun place, let me join in." Children are free to explore the kitchen, regardless of the "broken" taboos of Tet. Mom is like a companion who accompanies her children throughout the "mission", explaining to them the meaning of each Tet dish. "Bamboo shoots are blessings, bamboo shoot and ham soup is a wish for a prosperous and warm new year"; "Spring rolls are tightly wrapped together, like our family is connected" or "Golden tofu bag is a package full of blessings",... Learn from mom the secret to cooking delicious Tet dishes. I don't mind my children breaking things or rummaging through the kitchen because I understand that "children having fun like that is lucky". Seeing my children freely creating and laughing in the kitchen, I also partly relive the magical Tet memories with my grandmother preparing delicious dishes. The Tet dishes my children make - seemingly clumsy but filled with wishes "Decoding" the scene of the market and kitchen, the children's final stop is the Tet dishes. Surprise Tet feast from the little spies for the whole family. I am eager to present the whole family with a rich Tet feast and many savory wishes through the interesting perspective of a child. I give my dad a giant bag of golden tofu stuffed with bamboo shoots; sending my wishes for a new year full of blessings. The "spring roll family" is different in size but is united - sending my wishes for our family to always be together. The carrot fire symbolizes the fire in the kitchen to cook delicious Tet dishes; to keep the kitchen warm and the family always together. The whole family happily enjoyed the Tet feast presented by the children. The film ends with the mother's ambiguous answer "Let's wait and see" to the youngest son's question "Is Tet here yet?". Many people may not know whether the mission "Finding a rich Tet" has been completed or not, but one thing that viewers can feel is that the children's journey to find Tet has opened up a lot of joy and luck for the whole family. The joy from the family opening their hearts to let children freely create. The joy from the spirit of sharing and contributing of each member to preserve the spirit of Tet in every Vietnamese family. And somewhere there is the joy of a brand that always aspires to preserve the rich flavor of Vietnamese Tet from generation to generation. "Knorr hopes that even 10 years from now, 20 years from now, or many years from now, every time you see Knorr spices, you will remember a magical Tet with the rich flavor of Vietnamese Tet dishes," the brand representative shared.
