Vietnam Stories

People
We, who are always concerned about preserving traditions and swimming against the tide, believe that this is not recklessness. It is an absolute trust in a holistic healthcare system that has nurtured generations of Vietnamese people to grow up strong amidst the harsh wilderness.
Culture
More importantly, carrying water after the wedding is not an imposed obligation, but a socially ingenious initiation ritual. It is a way for the woman to officially step into her husband's clan network through a respectful introduction.
Culture
People can borrow large sums of money from familiar shop owners or street vendors when their families face urgent matters. This includes times of poor harvests, illness of loved ones, or when the family has a funeral or important ceremony. In return, the "disadvantage" in pricing when selling their agricultural produce is how the Ra-glai people pay the interest of gratitude.
Culture
For Vi Heritage, respecting cultural identity means letting go of imposed prejudices to listen to the voices of indigenous communities and understand how they rely on nature without destroying it.
Cuisine
In the past, it was called "cuoc lui" (skulking liquor) because of its hidden, furtive nature amidst strict prohibitions. During the French colonial period or the subsidy era, when private liquor distillation was besieged by rationing stamps and regulations, the glowing embers under rural liquor stills continued to burn persistently at night, hidden away in constant trepidation.
Culture
Tonight, the moon is bright outside the veranda. May you find a small, peaceful corner, look up at the full and clear moon above, and feel completely embraced by the warmth of family and the sense of coming home.
