The photo captures a familiar moment on a Vietnamese street corner: women gathered around a street vendor, sharing everyday stories. Without needing grand things, the beauty of our country is sometimes depicted from the simplest details: a sincere smile, a hot bowl of mussel porridge, or the strong bond between people. In modern life, this image reminds us of the value of neighborly love, of community cohesion - a cultural beauty that Vietnamese people always cherish. That is also the strength to preserve national identity, helping each person feel warm and familiar no matter how far away they go. This simple image is not only a slice of daily life, but also a symbol of attachment and sharing - what makes up the "Vietnamese soul" in each of our hearts.
