(NB&CL) Tet is an occasion for everyone to temporarily put aside work and all the worries in life, so that those who are far from home can have the opportunity to reunite, gather, and be with their families and relatives and together welcome the good luck of the new year. That is also a very meaningful tradition, a beautiful cultural feature that is forever passed down by the Vietnamese people.
Usually at the end of the year, YouTube channels, music programs on TV, social networks, etc. always appear with many Tet music videos, diverse in topics and rich in form, including many meaningful and emotional MVs, sending the message to the audience "No matter how busy you are, you should take the time to return home to gather and reunite with your family after a busy year of work. Because Tet is an occasion for gathering and reunion" such as: Tet is reunion; Tet comes back early; Spring reunion, Tet at my house...
I still remember the day I left my hometown to go to the city for the first time to study at university, at the bus station my father told me, "Come home early to celebrate Tet, son." And so every year, whenever Tet comes, I look forward to returning home early to reunite with my family, to gather in the joyful and bustling Tet atmosphere.
Not only me, but everyone, every time Spring comes, Tet comes, people who were born and raised in the countryside, or have roots in the countryside, are eager to return to their ancestral homeland. Being able to return to be with their mothers, fathers and loved ones, gathering together in the spring filled with warm sunshine and blooming flowers, is an opportunity to ask about health, tell each other about what happened in a year, at the same time reminding the past, cherishing what has passed and looking forward to good things. That has become a tradition, a long-standing cultural beauty of Vietnamese people in all regions.
From ancient times to the present, and certainly in the future, the meaning of Tet reunion, Tet sum vay is still intact in the minds of Vietnamese people living and making a living everywhere. No matter how crowded, crowded and difficult the train, plane, or car trips on Tet are; no matter how far the distance is thousands of kilometers; or even in a distant country in the world with a distance of thousands of miles, the children of Vietnam always have a "spring" dream of returning to their homeland, to their country, to reunite with their most beloved ones, to welcome a Tet - a spring with many new and best things waiting ahead.
Even though the past year has been filled with worries and hardships of life, during Tet everyone wishes to reunite with their family, because during Tet in a foreign land, even if there is enough material things but the absence of loved ones in the family, it will still be sad and lonely. Children look forward to the holiday every day to go out for Tet, buy new clothes, be taken by their parents to visit their grandparents, or go on vacation somewhere. Adults are busy buying many things to give to their parents, grandparents, relatives, and new furniture to decorate the house.
Every house, every road of the country, from the mountains, the countryside to the cities, is always bustling and bustling, filled with the atmosphere of Tet. For Vietnamese people, the moments when the whole family gathers around the dinner table at the end of the year, sits and chats next to the pot of banh tet, eagerly waiting for the New Year's Eve... are the most sacred and anticipated moments.
Life is getting more and more modern, people keep saying that Tet is getting "bland", not as joyful as Tet in the past, but they do not notice that just on the last day of the year, having all the family members healthy, making a year-end meal together to worship ancestors, sitting and chatting about the past year, that is already a full Tet with immense joy, so where else to look?
And for those who are far from home, there is nothing happier than returning to their family home during Tet. Going to return, because Tet only comes once a year. Cherish your family while you still can, because it is the warmest place in this life, a place that is always open to welcome you back no matter who you are. However, in modern life, more and more Vietnamese people are leaving their homeland to study, earn a living or pursue a career in other countries; sometimes even beyond the national border. Therefore, "returning home for Tet" has become a nostalgia, or just a "Spring dream" of many Vietnamese people living abroad.
In recent years, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, in the face of difficult circumstances, the "Spring Bus - Happy Tet" program has been implemented by many localities, levels, sectors, businesses, and benefactors to support gifts and vehicles to help workers, students, and laborers in difficult circumstances have the conditions to celebrate Tet, enjoy a warm spring with their families, contributing to bringing moments of love and moments of connection and reunion during Tet.
“Home with my parents! Thank you Tet Sum Vay Bus for bringing my family a happy and peaceful Tet” - a student studying in a city in the South of the country, on the eve of Tet Giap Thin last year, when he just returned to his hometown in a Northern province, shared his overwhelming emotions when he returned home to reunite with his family to celebrate Tet. Happiness and emotion are the feelings that poor workers and students shared when they were lucky enough to receive Tet Sum Vay Bus tickets to return home to reunite during the days before Tet.
Recently, with the remarkable development of information technology and the unlimited spread of social networks, Vietnamese people living abroad have more opportunities and means to celebrate Tet with their families, not only connecting by words, but also by the most vivid and realistic images through live streams to send each other greetings and greetings. This could be the Tet reunion of the 4.0, 5.0 technology revolution era!
The old year of Giap Thin is about to pass and a new spring of At Ty with many joys and hopes is coming, although life has developed, Tet of every Vietnamese family is always a reunion, a reunion that is present in every family meal on Tet holiday passed from generation to generation. As the lyrics of the song: Sweet Dream, by musician Hoai An: "Tet in our family has always been the same/The familiar warm family flavor ", or "Welcoming spring with apricot blossoms in the front yard/Listening to the spring scent drifting in the air/Welcoming you back to the family at the end of the year/Happiness is filled with so many words/Let's be excited at this moment together/Bustling and laughing under the roof/What gift is there for a happy family reunion/What Tet is happier than Tet reunion"... has said that, as well as the meaning of the joy of Tet reunion, togetherness. The atmosphere of welcoming the new spring is bustling and spreading everywhere. Wishing everyone and every family a reunion, because a full reunion Tet is a Tet full of joy and happiness...
