Question

What do Vietnamese people love about their country the most?

Answer 1

Vietnamese people love many things about their country, including its rich history and culture, delicious cuisine, beautiful natural landscapes, and the strong sense of community and family. They take pride in their traditions, such as Tet (Lunar New Year) celebrations, and value the resilience and perseverance that has been a hallmark of their nation's history. Additionally, many Vietnamese people have a deep love and respect for their country's diverse and vibrant heritage, which includes influences from various ethnic groups and historical periods.

Answer 2

I was born and raised in Hanoi, Vietnam until I was 15. After that, I spent most of my time studying abroad and only visited Vietnam once or twice a year. Not until I stayed overseas did I truly appreciate my country. My foreign friends kept asking me about interesting things in Vietnam and their questions motivated me to winnow out best memories about the country. I start to love the complex layouts of the Old Quarter in Hanoi, the unique taste of "pho" (Vietnamese beef noodle) which I can't find anywhere else in the world, the scent of "hoa sua" (a type of flower) which overwhelms the streets of Hanoi in autumn...

Other than the beautiful scenes and the cuisine, I am also proud of our history and our brave ancestors who have fought hard for the independence of the country. I enjoy sharing stories about the battle against invasion in the past with my foreign friends.

Above all, I love the people. I feel grateful to have kind Vietnamese friends overseas who are my second family and provide me with emotional support when I am away from home.

All in all, Vietnam is where I am most closely attached to and I feel safe and loved.

Answer 3

This is a tough question for me. :"D

I remember when I was young, I had never satisfied with the place where I grown up. I was like a young bird, just wanted to grow up quickly and fly away real fast. I was an obstreperous child. I felt curious about the world and wanted to jump out there to see, wanted to leave behind my mom's embrace. I had the feeling as most people have I think: I wanted to grow up fast part of it because I didn't want to go school, I thought that being an adult will give me freedom and I can do whatever I want.

That logic was not wrong. But it's not a completely truth. Freedom is actually equal being unprotected sometimes. You have freedom, you also have more responsible to take care of yourself real good.

...

When I was 18, I left my city to go to a bigger city to study. I was so excited about my new journey. I dreamed and planned that I will have a part-time job in a cute small book coffee shop. I would love to do as much as possible volunteer job in the university. I would have new friends, a lot of new friends.

But,

"A dream isn't the same thing as a plan."

And life is not always as you planned.

I did what I can do better than a lot of people. But it doesn't seem enough. I have changed myself through some events. ...

...

Now I'm even further my home than I was.

The further and older I get, the more I realize how great my childhood was.

...

Ok. Let's get into the question. Lol =))

...

I just love my country, because:

There would be nowhere else I can be my mom's daughter grin emoticon

There would be nowhere else I can meet those wonderful people I have met.

There would be nowhere else I can eat better Vietnamese pork chops, Vietnamese sandwich, Pho as well as thousand of other kind of food the world haven't known in public.

There would be nowhere else I can wear Ao Dai as school uniform.

There would be nowhere else farmers use a hat (Non La) to protect from sunshine but also to contain water to drink and to fan when they feel hot after working hard.

...

Those are just few of reasons for me to love my country.

However, seriously, when it comes to love, I don't think we can talk about reasons grin emoticon

As a Vietnamese poet said: When you live, it's just a place you live. When you left, that place went into your soul.

I love my country because I was born and raised there. grin emoticon

Yes I know, for some people, even Vietnamese as me, my Vietnam is not as good as how I love it.

Vietnamese people are rude and too curious sometimes. But, not everybody know the fact that you're rude when you're honest, too honest and doesn't know how to say the way you feel in a good way; you're curious because you care, if you don't care, you would not wanna know.

Living in America is good. Sometimes it's too good for a person as me. Everyday everybody says hello to you and ask you about your life, however, not everybody expects to hear from you a long sad story. ... Everybody is busy with their own lives.

Vietnam either. Everywhere. ...

Just...

Most of my family and my friends are over there man! TT____TT

...

Crazy Namî.

Just I miss Vietnam.

Thanks for someone who are reading even here...

Have a good smile ah~!!!

I lived in Vietnam for 25 years, since I was born until going to USA 5 years ago for graduate school. And these are a few things in the list of what I love about Vietnam.

People. My family. My friends. My teachers. Ice-cream vendors :). Below are pictures with my English teacher. I met him at USC and asked him to visit Vietnam in the following summer. He finally was able to make a 5-day trip with us. Before he came, his parents were like “will they put you in jail?”. And see what we put him in.

Food. You cannot talk about Vietnam without food. We cook everything :) Yes, yes. It can be “dangerous” sometimes :) But that is why the food is very diverse and of course there are many wonderful dishes.

Up north and you can find many exotic foods from minorities. Be adventurous :) Below is a picture of my English teacher with a the food we made from local people: rock crabs, extremely free-range, super organic pork and chicken, and wine :))

From north to south, each province would probably has a very unique dish :) Below is one from my province: Chao se + Banh hon[1]

. Google Vietnam food and you will see.

Nature. Landscape. Mountains. Beaches. You name it. But I miss the crop field and the country road the most[3]
.
Music. Oh damn, so many people complained about Vietnamese music. But there are more than that love the music. Probably for anyone, it is difficult to listen to a foreign-language music, especially when many traditional Vietnamese genres are tied to the culture, to many old customs. But again, this is a Vietnamese talking :) I love Trinh Cong Son music[4]
, old folk songs, “red” songs, “yellow” songs, kids songs, “youth” songs, … (of course, I like other foreign-language songs as well)


History. Topic of debate here. So please take this part as a very personal part. Vietnam history has too many wars. I do not feel proud of that. But I am proud of the people who still stood up against all powerful enemies to give us this day. I love reading Vietnamese history, not just the bright but also dark parts. I love to “see” history through remnants. I love listening to my grandparents talking about their lives, their battles, their losses, their loves. And I hope I will be able to remember those to tell my kids.

And of course, memories. This is probably obvious :)

Those are a few things I can remember and type in a short amount of time. Of course I can tell you all day long if you want to hear. I do think it is better to show you one day.
