"Gia Dinh Haha" Final Episode: Bui Cong Nam’s Special Birthday, Cast Members Reminisce

The finale continued in Dak Lak with a special trip: visiting the hometown of Bui Cong Nam. In a warm setting, with a bowl of Mi Quang prepared by “Aunt Hoa Mi” - Bui Cong Nam’s mother - everyone shared in a joyful, bustling atmosphere. The “second Tet” became even more meaningful when his mother unexpectedly brought out a birthday cake for her youngest son. This was the first time in many years that Bui Cong Nam celebrated his birthday in the arms of his family.

Back at Y Xim’s home, the group gathered again, and the story of a Central Highlands woman unfolded from (S)TRONG’s question about Ms. Dung’s childhood dream. Her dream of becoming a teacher to bring literacy to the village had to be set aside because of long distances, but her desire to contribute led her to Party work while also shouldering family responsibilities.

Later, "Gia Dinh Haha" transformed the living room into a special stage, recreating the “Outstanding Grassroots Women” competition that Ms. Dung once took part in. Ngoc Thanh Tam shared: “Women must live happily every day, because when women are happy, everyone is happy.” Ms. Dung expressed: “Women of the Central Highlands in particular, and Vietnamese women in general, must be harmonious, united, and develop comprehensively.”

With its Elephant Protection Project, "Gia Dinh Haha" organized a special animated film screening - the movie Dumbo - for children across the region. Through this, the show conveyed the message of conserving elephants, both beloved in the Central Highlands and precious to the world’s wildlife.

Around the fire, (S)TRONG acted as host, asking each member of "Gia Dinh Haha" about their most memorable moments throughout the journey.

Tu Tam began: “Just be yourself, and you will find where you belong.” Anh Hai Thien recalled the spirit of adventure, from plowing fields in Ban Lien, to small houses in Quang Ngai, to the days learning to handle bees in Ben Tre each stop was another chance to push limits and open his heart.

To summarize: Ban Lien was “enjoyment,” Quang Ngai was “limits,” Ben Tre was “family,” and Dak Lak was “gratitude.” Ut Khanh reflected: “The program is like an open diary for everyone to witness our journey of growth.” Anh Ba Nam added: “I feel healed.”



Anh Ca Thuan confessed: “At first, I learned about planting rice, and in the end, the rice bloomed. I have grown so much. The journey of "Gia Dinh Haha" went through four places, each with its own uniqueness: meeting Mr. Ha and Ms. Thong like in-laws; Mr. Son, Mr. Diep, and Ms. Tham like siblings; Uncle and Aunt Chin like parents; and Y Xim like a younger brother.”
