Ăn quả nhớ kẻ trồng cây
When eating a fruit, remember who planted the tree
Origin: Vietnam
This Vietnamese expression captures the feeling of gratitude. If we feel lucky for what we have, much of that is thanks to those who have paved the way for us.
Fruit is used in this saying as a metaphor for abundance — and for good reason.
Fresh tropical fruits are essential to daily life in Vietnam. They grow all over the country, with more than half coming from Mekong Delta in the country’s south.
This saying is similar in nature to other Vietnamese proverbs, such as “When you drink water, remember the source (Uống nước nhớ nguồn)“.
