Coming from District 7 to the center of Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate New Year's Eve with her daughter, Kim Vui (37 years old) was extremely excited to take photos of this special moment with her daughter Tue Tue (9 years old). The mother confided that almost every year she takes her daughter to the center of Ho Chi Minh City on New Year's Eve so that she can see the fireworks up close. "The end of the year and the beginning of the new year, I wish for nothing more than for my father to be healthy and live long with his children and grandchildren. I hope my family will be healthy and peaceful to welcome the new year with lots of happiness," she shared.
