In the joyful atmosphere of the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025), the image of 80 family meals shared by Ms. Vu Thu Huong ( Hanoi ) touched millions of hearts. From the warm kitchen, she sent a simple but sacred message: historical memories are not only in Ba Dinh Square, but also present in every family meal of Vietnamese people.
80 years have passed since the historic autumn of 1945, the spirit of independence and national pride remains intact in the hearts of every Vietnamese. Not only is it reminded through the golden pages of history, but in every Vietnamese kitchen, that spirit is also preserved through simple but sacred family meals.
Each delicious meal is not simply about taste, but a journey back to the roots: a piece of braised meat, a bowl of sweet and cool soup, fragrant white rice grains... all combine to form a bond, fostering Vietnamese identity and spirit.
Independence Autumn – from history to the kitchen that makes Vietnamese meals
Every autumn, the strong scent of milk flowers reminds us of the autumn 80 years ago, when President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. That spirit is not only recorded in the golden pages of history, but is also maintained in family culture - where the meal becomes a thread that extends memories, connecting generations.
According to Ms. Vu Thu Huong, family meals are "a symbol of reunion", both simple and sacred. To celebrate the 80th National Day, she and the Yeu Bep community spread the image of 80 meals representing the three regions of North - Central - South, as a way to ignite family love and show gratitude to ancestors.
80 trays of food – 80 colors of national pride
Each meal tray is a story: there are simple meals with a bowl of mixed vegetable soup, a plate of braised fish from the countryside; there are meals trays with brilliant red and yellow colors, recreating national pride on Independence Day.
What is special is the convergence of three regions: the North is sophisticated in every soup and stir-fry dish; the Central is rich with salty flavors; the South is liberal, full of rustic dishes. 80 trays of food blend together, like 80 sources converging, creating an endless flow of Vietnamese love.
Ms. Huong emotionally shared: "If there is an afterlife, I still wish to be Vietnamese, to gather around the family dinner table, to live in love and national pride."
Below are 80 trays of food filled with love prepared by Ms. Vu Thu Huong (Hanoi), as a proud greeting to celebrate the 80th National Day.
