This was the theme of the 2025 National Scientific Lighting Conference organized by the Vietnam Lighting Association in Hue on the morning of May 30.

In an era marked by shopping malls, mini supermarkets, and the pervasive influence of digital utilities, the process of preparing for Tet has become incredibly convenient for families. However, the Tet market remains an irresistibly charming space for those who cherish nostalgia - individuals who fondly recall the old Tets, deeply connected to their mothers, grandmothers, and the years of hardship.

That is the topic of the 2024 LSCAC International Scientific Conference - “Language, Society, and Culture in the Asian Context”, which takes place from November 22 to 24 in Hue. This event is held by Hue College in collaboration with Malang National University (Indonesia), Hyderabad University (India), University of Mahasarakham (Thailand), the Institute of Cultural Anthropology (Hanoi), and the Northeast Institute for Cultural and Arts Research (Thailand).
