So today I'm going to tell you about the important old thing that my family has kept for a long time, which is an art piece, also called a picture made out of gold metal. It is frequently displayed during the Tet holiday, which comprises Vietnamese traditions and culture. This picture was bought 20 years ago when we first acquired our house in Ho Chi Minh City. It has been kept for a long time, and today I'm still seeing it in the warehouse of my home. It's not only about the picture; it's about the value, the priceless nature of time, and its meanings. It is described as a symbol of luck for the family, as well as a wish for longevity in life for each family member.
