Family, the beginning of love and the support of happiness

In the family, parents take care of grandparents, children take care of their parents - a circle of love that always continues. The family is not only a place to take shelter but also a place to pass on family traditions and customs, and is the first lesson in life on how to live as a human being.

Since ancient times, Vietnamese families have been the cradle that nurtures the human soul and personality. Houses where three or four generations live together are not only common, but also a symbol of solidarity, filial piety and respect for elders.

Living together helps the family maintain the family's order, habits, and traditions, and at the same time know etiquette, respect elders, and give way to juniors. That is the traditional beauty in Vietnamese families that has passed down and preserved those good values ​​until now.
