Since most immigrants are unable to return to their hometowns, National Immigration Agency (NIA) specially invited an immigrant from Vietnam - Zheng Qiao Ying (鄭僑瑩) to share the traditional customs and food of Vietnamese Spring Festival. Without traveling abroad, participants can have a taste of the Vietnamese spring rolls, rice rolls, and Vietnamese bread, reducing their feelings of homesickness.
