Written Work
So, another year has passed. Today marks the first day of the new year, and the atmosphere in these early spring days is distinctly different from ordinary days.
The weather is slightly chilly, not the biting cold of winter or the melancholic chill of autumn. Although the spring air is cold, the sky is bright, carrying the warmth of the season. The old, bare branches of the banyan trees, shedding leaves throughout the winter, have begun to exchange their worn-out attire for fresh, lush greenery, welcoming the spring. The apartment buildings in the collective area have been cleaned and everyone is delighted and proud to don new outfits to welcome the spring fairy. Everyone eagerly anticipates the arrival of Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, and the spring season. After a year of hard work and accumulation, the colorful flags adorn the collective area. Red and yellow flags flutter on the gate, creating a festive atmosphere. The collective area seems to come alive; everything has changed.
Faces are filled with joy. The anxieties of the past year have temporarily subsided. When meeting others, I see only sparkling eyes and bright smiles on their faces. Gone are the tense expressions and harsh tones. Everyone is gentle and cheerful when they meet. People greet each other warmly wherever they go, with radiant faces and heartfelt wishes for each other. Everything becomes friendlier and more affectionate. Everyone wants others to visit their homes, share candies, and enjoy a cup of tea to celebrate the first day of the new year.
The little ones are gleefully indulging in playful antics. Dressed in new outfits chosen by their parents, each one looks beautiful and adorable. Laughter and playful chases add to the festive atmosphere of the first day of spring. On a regular day, they might be scolded for being too noisy, but today, not only are they spared scolding, but they also have the approval of the adults, allowing them to joyfully frolic. Running around a lot, their faces become even more rosy and lovable.
Only the atmosphere of Tet brings such exuberance and liveliness. Spring arrives with a warm and rich feeling, a lively and pulsating energy unique to this season. Those who have been away for a long time return with the joy of family reunion. Every home gathers together in joy. Consequently, a warm and cozy atmosphere spreads everywhere. The communal area on the first day of the year has a completely different beauty compared to ordinary days.
