HO CHI MINH CITY, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Holding her one-year-son in her left arm, leading her three-year-old son by her right hand and looking much older than her age, Dao Hong Phuc is tirelessly bargaining for some new clothes ahead of returning home to central Quang Ngai province for the Lunar New Year Festival known as Tet.
But many other migrant workers in southern Vietnam are not as lucky as Phuc who works for Pou Yuen, a Taiwanese-backed sports shoe maker in Vietnam's in Ho Chi Minh City.
No matter where they work, Vietnamese people worldwide and in Vietnam in particular try their best to return home to spend time with their families during the festival.
However
Eden Hazard Belgien Trikot , due to financial hardship, many cannot afford the journey for home, often hundreds of kilometers away, so they have to spend the Lunar New Year period elsewhere.
Most migrant workers are born in the central or northern region, and many work in the southern key economic zone, which covers Ho Chi Minh City and the seven provinces of Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Ba Ria Vung Tau
Romelu Lukaku Belgien Trikot , Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An and Tien Giang.
There are around 90,000 workers at Pou Yuen Vietnam, a sports shoe maker in Ho Chi Minh City's Binh Tan District, and some spared no efforts to curb their expenses in 2015, but still failed to save enough money to return to their hometowns in the central or northern region for Tet which will officially start on Feb. 8.

If I return to Bac Giang (a northern province) by an inter-provincial coach this Tet, the return ticket will cost me my whole salary." Therefore, Anh has decided not to go home, but to send the money to her parents instead.
"Four days ahead of Tet, we received our salaries and modest bonuses paid through bank accounts. We had to queue for hours before ATM machines to withdraw the cash," Anh bemoaned
Kevin De Bruyne Belgien Trikot , explaining that crowds waiting to use ATM machines around industrial parks and export processing zones before Tet happens every year.
Like Anh, many other migrant workers share the same plight. Thai Thi Phuong, who has worked for a company in Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park in Ho Chi Minh City's Nha Be District for six years, said that this is the fourth consecutive Tet she has not returned home to the southern Soc Trang province.
"I desperately want to go home for Tet each year, but when I look at my paltry salary, I think .
