The brilliant Spring of the nation

việt văn |

Spring for a nation does not only come from the first days of the year marked on the calendar.

It comes from small, very human, very lifelike movements: footsteps in the village procession, trembling hands raising a paper fan that has rolled its edge, a child sitting on the father's shoulder watching fireworks on the nation's big holiday or a silent wish hanging on the wall of a vow. Spring is not noisy. It is silently present in the way people walk together.

In rural villages, Spring begins with the return of rituals. Traditional clothes are put on, everyone walks in rows, all walking slowly. In the middle of the forest and familiar road, each face is both happy and respectful in a ritual to express gratitude to ancestors, and send to the gods wishes for favorable weather, abundant harvests.

In another corner of Spring, laughter echoes from small courtyards. The spring of the nation is not only in the big symbols, but also in the moment two children hold hands, swing up and down together, believing that someone by their side will not let go. Spring also appears in crowded spaces. Streets full of flags, full of red colors, where adults smile brightly while children widen their eyes to see the vast world opened before their eyes.

It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

When night falls, Spring does not go out. Light from Christmas trees, churches, and outdoor stages ignites a feeling of warmth and convergence. People raise their phones, not only to record moments, but to preserve the feeling of standing there, in a evening when joy is shared. Spring for the nation is when personal memories and collective memories touch each other, gently, without needing explanations.

And in a quieter space, Spring stops before the walls hanging full of wishes. Every small piece of paper, neat or hasty writing, carries the desire for peace, health, fullness, success and hope. There is no greater wish than the wish to continue living happily in a new year.

Stepping into 2026, everyone hopes that "this spring is much better than the past springs" in the new era. The vitality of a nation lies not only in the path of brilliant development in the future but also in the ability to preserve memories, pass on faith, and move forward together.

It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
