traditional costumes throughout the world. The talent of Vietnamese
Ao Dai by its structure is not only a brilliant masterpiece of art but also
contains the lesson of life. Vietnamese had to struggle to fight back

the extremely valuable family annal of all families hidden the teaching
of how to be a man. We have to respect, cosset and protect the Ao
Dai as a cultural heritage that our ancestors created. Let‘s see some
