What is the meaning of Tet 2026 for you, when this is the first Tet you celebrate in the position of Miss Vietnam?
- Tet 2026 is a very special milestone for me. Besides the feeling of excitement, I also carry more thoughts and responsibilities when returning home. The stories of family and relatives will surely not only revolve around the atmosphere of reunion like every year but also the concern and inquiries about work and the journey after being crowned. That makes me both feel new and feel more clearly the changes in my life. However, in any position, Tet is still the time for me to return to being myself - a child in the family.
With a tight schedule, how do you maintain a balance between work, social responsibility and personal life at the end of the year?
- In fact, I am still in the process of learning to balance and sometimes cannot do it absolutely well. There are stages when work takes up almost all of my time and energy. However, I always try to listen to my body, rearrange my schedule and spend small moments of silence for myself and my family to regenerate energy.
What moment in 2025 do you miss most every time you think about your family, especially when there is only one day left until Tet 2026?
- The moment I miss my family the most is the time before the final night. When standing before an important milestone in my life, I think a lot about my parents and family - those who always silently accompany and support me. That love has given me strength, calmness and faith to step onto the stage with the best spirit.
In the cycle of titles and public attention, what lessons have you learned about how to listen to yourself?
- I realize that among so many opinions and expectations, the most important thing is to keep yourself kind and still. When I am still enough, I can listen to myself more clearly, know what is appropriate, what is the limit that needs to be respected so as not to lose myself.
Is there anything special about Tet in your childhood memories, and is that still preserved to this day?
- My childhood Tet was associated with very simple but warm moments: the whole family cleaning the house together, gathering around a tray of rice, celebrating New Year's Eve together and going to the pagoda to pray for good luck at the beginning of the year. Even though my current life is busier, I still always try to preserve those traditions as a way to remind myself of my roots.
In the position of Miss, how do you see the role of Vietnamese women in modern society?
- In my opinion, Vietnamese women in modern society are both strong, confident, independent, and maintain good traditional values. No matter how developed society is, I still believe that kindness, family spirit and gratitude to the roots are always an important foundation for women to develop sustainably.
For you personally, can success be measured by aura or has it taken on a different meaning?
- After the recent journey, for me, success is not just about aura or titles. Success is the experiences that help me discover myself, overcome my own limits. What I cherish most is that I did not achieve it alone, but always have the companionship and support from family, organizers and all those who have loved and supported me.
Have you made a "New Year's promise" for yourself?
- I have a very simple promise to myself, that in the new year I will care for and take care of my health more, both physically and mentally, to have enough energy for the long journey ahead.
What role does family play in helping you become more stable after being crowned?
- Family plays an extremely important role, even the most important. Before each decision or major turning point, I always ask for advice from my family. Parents are not only orienting but also a great source of spiritual motivation, helping me to be more steadfast in the face of all changes.
Thank you for sharing!
