意思
People should love each other.
文化背景
This proverb is taught in the very first grade of primary school. It is fundamental to the Vietnamese identity of being 'one people.' Overseas Vietnamese communities use this phrase to encourage supporting newcomers or maintaining cultural ties with the homeland. The choice of 'Bầu' and 'Bí' is not accidental; they are the most common, humble vegetables in a Vietnamese garden, making the proverb accessible to everyone, regardless of wealth. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this phrase was used to launch 'Rice ATMs' where the rich left rice for the poor without any contact.
