Thanh was a girl living in the outskirts of Da Lat with her parents. Her parents grew strawberries and sold them but the prices were dropping rapidly leading to great economic failure for her family. Better economy acted as a pull factor for her family as they decided to relocate. Not having much money, her parents couldn’t migrate to anywhere farther than Ho Chi Minh City. Since Ho Chi Minh City had a lot of economic potential, Thanh’s family decided to settle there.
Only living in the outskirts of Da Lat for her whole life, Thanh was not used to Ho Chi Minh City. It was too crowded and too polluted compared to Da Lat. Thanh and her siblings frequently got sick. There were a lot of benefits in moving to Ho Chi Minh too. Moving to Ho Chi Minh City widened Thanh’s range of knowledge. She was able to interact with new people and she found a lot of things that she could never find in Da Lat. Thanh misses her homeland a lot but she’s sure that her family has made the right choice in moving to Ho Chi Minh City.
