The origin of love…

The gestures. The mannerisms. And those joyful eyes reveal how important the person receiving the flowers is. Even in many parks, you occasionally see women in elegant ao dai dresses taking photos of each other, chatting and laughing heartily. The snippets of their conversation, though seemingly random, are enough to guess that these women have just met and socialized on October 20th.

Women are the source of love. Human beings are born from women, grow up under the care of women, and the character and values of a person are formed and nurtured by women…

Every moment spent with the women in our lives is a treasure that we should cherish and treasure. Giving flowers is one way to express this.

If someone were to ask, "What does a woman's happiness depend on?", I—a woman myself—believe that a woman's happiness lies in doing what she wants, in being self-reliant, and in choosing her own life.

I believe many people have read the classic story of the knight Gawain, who agrees to marry a witch to save his friend, King Arthur. He is faced with the choice of spending half his time with the witch during the day or night, and the other half with the beautiful woman.

Without hesitation, Knight Gawain replied, "How I live is up to you to decide." And a clear voice rang out, "I will choose to be with a beautiful woman both day and night, for you truly respect me." The happy ending was that the knight got to live full-time with the beautiful woman, and that was the reward for someone who respected women.

The folk tale also carries a philosophical meaning at another level: the aspiration for equality, respect, love, and self-determination for women. Women can only truly be happy when they live in a civilized, progressive environment where they are respected, where they can express their inner strength, and where they can develop themselves.

Undeniably, women in the 4.0 era are increasingly excelling in many fields. Most recently, and very recently, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thi Mong Diep, a senior lecturer at Quy Nhon University, was honored by Stanford University (USA) as one of the world's most influential scientists in 2025.

How can we not feel proud when women like these inspire the younger generation in their pursuit of knowledge and contribute to the development of their homeland and country?

As October 20th, Vietnamese Women's Day, approaches, I want to send the warmest hugs from the bottom of my heart to all the grandmothers, mothers, and sisters who have been tirelessly pursuing their goals and dreams, like flowers silently blooming, adding fragrance and beauty to life and to people.

And I also want to send my best wishes to the men who help women feel important and beautiful in every way, like the knight Gawain. Posterity won't remember Gawain as a proud knight just because he saved King Arthur, will it, brothers?
