The act of composing a message.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Handwriting is highly valued and often seen as a sign of a person's patience and education. 'Viết thư tay' is considered much more sincere than digital messages. During the wars, letters were the only way to communicate. Many famous literary works are actually collections of real letters sent from the battlefield. While texting is dominant, there is a growing trend among Gen Z to return to 'viết thư tay' and 'bullet journaling' as a form of slow living. In business, a 'thư ngỏ' (open letter) is a common way to introduce a company or a project to a new partner, showing a high level of professionalism.
