Dear MEL Topic Readers,
'American dream' lives on in Vietnam despite the past
The Vietnam War, known in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America, was fought for 20 years in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia until the fall of Saigon in 1975. It is considered a Cold War-era proxy war as the North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union and China while the South was supported by the United States allies such as South Korea and Australia.
What do people in Vietnam think of the U.S. 40 years after the deadliest war? Those who live in northern Vietnam may have different views from their friends in the south. Also, the survivors who experienced or witnessed the war and their growing offspring think differently. In fact, nearly one-third of the total 93 million population of Vietnam are very young, between the age of 10 and 24, who prefer looking for exciting future with a smartphone in their hand rather than looking back the past in books.
Enjoy reading and think what influences the youth the most.
