Dung Gee: Language differences are just a small matter!
In the clip that was recently posted, Dung Gee has attracted more than 230 thousand views when he humorously recreated the special but equally humorous story of a Western son-in-law visiting his wife's family in the first days of the new year. He planned to "make an impression" on his parents with standard Vietnamese New Year greetings. He thought that the language barrier might make it difficult for him, but with the help of his wife, Dung Gee had a very clever "improvisation" when he invited his mother-in-law to "dzo" Saigon Lager Beer with him. The "dzo" sound echoed at the same time as the language barrier was put aside, so that all family members could happily celebrate Tet.
Vinh Thich An Ngon: “Normalizing” generational differences
Also a story about celebrating Tet at home, but content creator Vinh Thich An Ngon makes young people especially sympathetic because of the extremely cute moments of his father and son. In the video, besides helping with the cleaning work to prepare for Tet, Vinh Thich An Ngon also "boldly" invited his father to sit down and sip and reminisce about the old year. He also cleverly chose Tet version of Saigon Lager - which is also his father's favorite drink during Tet. Although there was a slight "stiffness" at first because of the generation gap, after just "dzo" Saigon Lager with his father a few times, all the differences were automatically erased. Because whether they are adults or young people, everyone is familiar with the friendly "dzo" during Tet.
Focus: Finding intersections across cultural differences
Regional cultural differences in a large family are the stories that Trong Tam shared in the clip he just posted. Sharing in the clip, his wife - Vy Vy - was "out of sync" with her husband's family many times when she first celebrated Tet in the Central Vietnamese way. Because she is from the South, Vy Vy's house decoration is more elaborate, even the way she pours banh xeo, the "topping" is different and the dipping sauce is more sweet and sour. But any difference must be "admitted" when Saigon Lager Beer appears. Trong Tam and his wife "went all out" with their parents to erase the cultural differences and celebrate Tet together.
Vietnam-US: Creativity to erase geographical distance
The most surprising thing is the creative and invested video of the multi-talented artist Viet My. Being a son of Da Nang, Quang Nam, not afraid of geographical distance, he returned to his hometown to celebrate Tet at the suggestion of Saigon Lager Beer. Returning to the land that holds so many childhood memories, Viet My did not forget to draw a beautiful and vivid picture of Hoi An with ancient streets full of historical value. Although he has not visited his hometown for a long time, it seems that he does not feel any distance, especially when he invited everyone to raise a can of Saigon Lager Beer and shout out the familiar "cheers". That moment was also when Viet My felt more connected to the land and people of Hoi An than ever.
From language, generation, culture to geography, differences are inevitable. But the most important thing is sharing, understanding and the spirit of connection. Present in all 63 provinces and cities of Vietnam, Saigon Lager Beer conveys a profound message about the power of connection - that the sound of "dzo" is not only the sound of New Year celebrations, but also an invitation to celebrate Tet together in 63 provinces and cities.
