Working hard outdoors
문화적 배경
The idiom is a cornerstone of 'filial piety' (Đạo Hiếu). Children are taught to respect the 'dầm mưa dãi nắng' of their parents as the ultimate sacrifice. It reflects the 'wet rice civilization' where farmers are at the mercy of nature. It's a tribute to the resilience of the peasantry. Today, it is the 'motto' of the gig economy. Delivery drivers (shippers) are the modern face of this idiom. Poets use this phrase to evoke a sense of 'nostalgia' and 'national soul,' linking the reader to their rural roots.
