Dung La Tet

“Tet” is what we call Lunar New Year in Vietnamese. It is always something special for the Vietnamese people. Tet has a variety of meanings: memories, reunion, love, happiness, and forgiveness. Like Christmas in the Western, we have Tet in which people go back home to reunite with friends and family. “Dung La Tet” is a lovely poem about a little urban girl who has experienced her very first traditional Tet in her parents’ hometown.
