خلفية ثقافية
This proverb is the unofficial motto of the Vietnamese Red Cross and almost all domestic NGOs. It is taught in the first grade of elementary school. In the Central region, which faces annual typhoons, this phrase is a 'survival code.' People automatically share food and shelter based on this principle. Overseas Vietnamese communities often use this phrase when raising money to send back to the homeland during crises. Modern Vietnamese companies use this in their mission statements to show they are socially responsible and 'humane' (có nhân tính).
