Director Le Hoang: Men who forbid their wives from going to their parents' house for Tet are stupid
According to director Le Hoang, during the days leading up to Tet, families often have a war about Tet at the husband's and wife's families, and his opinion is: "Men who open their mouths to forbid their wives from going to their parents' house to celebrate Tet are stupid."
On his personal page, director Le Hoang just stated his opinion on the battle between domestic and foreign Tet:
"For the past 2 weeks, I have seen a war about Tet at my husband's and my wife's family, making me, Le Hoang, unable to stay out of it.... Men are inherently very intelligent creatures. One of the strong evidences of their intelligence is that they can often deceive women, including ugly and beautiful women, fat and thin women. However, for some reason, this inherently intelligent creature... suddenly becomes stupid every time Tet comes, specifically the fact that he cannot handle a "trivial" task of letting his wife go to her parents' house to celebrate Tet.
The first type of stupidity is that men who, as soon as they open their mouths, forbid their wives from going back to their parents' house to celebrate Tet, and threaten to divorce them if their wives go back to their parents' house to celebrate Tet. This type is... the height of childishness. Who would ever talk so much, the phrase "frogs die by their mouths" is definitely for you. No wonder people curse you for being patriarchal and narrow-minded and put you on the list of "forbidden to lay eggs...", director Le Hoang wrote.

Director Le Hoang also believes that there are countless reasons for men to give to soften the hearts of women who are devoted to their husbands and children.
"Half a month before Spring comes, you suddenly feel confused about the difficulty of traveling (even though the journey to your grandmother's house is sometimes not as far as the journey to your primary or secondary school reunion), confused about not having enough money (even though that amount of money is sometimes only enough for 3-5 seafood meals), confused about the difficulty of overcoming family traditions, confused about not wanting to make your parents sad (even though you still argue with your parents from time to time to do many things you like), confused about being the eldest child in a family of 2-3 siblings (even though your wife is sometimes the only child in the family), confused about the need for the whole family to rest in place (even though you can't even stay in the house for 3 days of Tet every year), confused about what the neighbors are saying (even though you sometimes don't even know if your neighbors are home or away).
There, you just gently point out the difficulties, confide your thoughts that seem very honest, making your wife torn between going back to her parents' house or staying, worrying about her husband's health, her fat children, or worrying about her parents who are sad far away. In the end, your wife thinks that going back to her parents' house is an extremely terrible burden on her husband's weak shoulders. And the sacrificial instinct of a woman arises, your wife will "volunteer" not to go back to her parents' house to celebrate Tet," Le Hoang explained on his personal page.

Finally, the famous "bitch" director said, men are not stupid after all. "No man is stupid. You only pretend to be stupid to deceive your wife, you play the role of a heartless man, or a weak man who cannot overcome family pressure just to avoid being labeled as "male chauvinist", or old-fashioned patriarchal.
I tell you the truth, there is no place where men can please their wives more easily than Vietnamese men. If in the West, celebrating Tet with the wife's parents is normal, then in our country, it is an extremely luxurious privilege. Sometimes, after 10 years of marriage, men only let their wives go to their parents' house once, and that is enough to become "heroes" in the eyes of their wives and their parents. Just think about it, if men just nod, or even propose that the whole family occasionally go to their parents' house to celebrate Tet on New Year's Eve... just for a moment, they will be "heavenly" for the whole year, even for the rest of their lives.
Director Le Hoang also advised men who want to "go to heaven" should not be weak and heartless men. "When getting married, every man holds his wife's hand and whispers "I will bring you happiness for the rest of your life", so now you do it, prove it. Don't be heartless or weak men at important moments like this", Le Hoang wrote.
