Vietnamese people have a fairy tale about Ochna
integerrima The story is about a kind and brave
girl. She fought a monster to protect the
villagers. Unfortunately, she died after the
battle. Her bravery touched the Gods. So,
although she died, every New Year comes, she is
revived to visit her family and her village for 9
days. When her parents died, she transformed into
a flowering tree. Every time the New Year comes,
the flowers bloom brightly like the yellow shirt
she usually wears. That is Ochna
integerrima. Vietnamese people believe that,
on Tet holiday, Ochna integerrima can banish
ghosts throughout the year
