The clip recorded the scene in front of Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted (HCMC) before school started. Dozens of students entered the school gate and bowed when they met the security guard. The act of bowing was extremely polite, instead of a verbal greeting.

“A greeting is more important than a feast”. Since ancient times, our ancestors have attached great importance to greetings in daily life. And it is a great joy that today's young generation has been promoting that cultural beauty. Ms. Nguyen Uyen's clip recording the scene of students of Le Hong Phong High School for the Gifted nodding to greet the security guard every morning on their way to school has deeply moved me and everyone else. That action is not only a shining example for students to follow but also sends meaningful messages to everyone.

The actions of the students of Le Hong Phong school seem normal, but in the context of the current social moral crisis, it appears like a precious gem. The simple bowing of the head contains all the respect and affection that the students have for the security guard - the person who is silently protecting the order and security of the school every hour, every day. It is not only an expression of respect for elders but also an attitude of proper respect for ordinary, everyday workers.

Being polite to teachers is a beautiful quality of a student, bowing to an elderly security guard is even more beautiful. That nod of greeting shows that Le Hong Phong students are not only taught book knowledge but also taught with care about human ethics.

What is even more wonderful is that you have applied these valuable lessons in your daily life. Surely your family's education since childhood and the teachings of your teachers have helped to ingrain greetings into your mind and become such a valuable habit.

Students of Le Hong Phong school bow to the security guard.

I believe that not only Le Hong Phong school but also many other schools across the country have such polite students. It can be a sincere greeting "Hello teacher!", "Work is so hard in this hot weather!"... or sometimes it is simply a respectful nod, a warm smile. No matter how the greeting is, as long as it comes from the heart, it is very precious.

This cultural tradition of greeting is not only found in schools but is also clearly shown in the daily life of our society. It is the greetings of colleagues at work, the sincere greetings of farmers when going to the fields: "Have you eaten yet that you are out in the fields so early?", and the warm hugs when two old friends meet again.

When you greet someone, you show them your sincere concern and give yourself a little joy. Greetings are free, but their value is hard to measure. Life will be so much cooler and more pleasant when everyone knows how to greet each other.

Greetings have such profound meanings, but it is sad that we still encounter cold and indifferent people. They are caught up in the whirlwind of work, the burden of earning a living, and gradually lose the habit of greeting. There are students who are shy to greet teachers, and sometimes greetings are given reluctantly, empty, or even jokingly, making the listener feel uncomfortable. At those times, greetings, instead of leading hearts to hearts, push people further apart. Surely, none of us want that.

The simple yet warm story of Le Hong Phong school students has lit up the modern world. Let the smiles, greetings and sincere care connect the fire of belief in all of us about the beauty of the nation's greeting culture. The tradition of valuing greetings and politeness in communication has been spreading in all open hearts, so that each day becomes joyful and meaningful.
