Ali Thục Phương

Vietnam's annual satirical comedy TV special that airs on Lunar New Year's Eve on VTV. Known for its comedic take on the socio-political and economic issues of the year in Vietnam, the show is considered a television staple of the Vietnamese New Year holiday.

The story of friendship revolves around a group of children in Mây Village, where Tú, a lively, mischievous girl who loves fairness, always wants to protect the territory and inhabitants of the 'headquarters' she established. Nearly 20 years later, Tú is busy working as an operations director at a company founded by her older brother, Viễn, and their old friends. And by chance, when the group returns to Mây Village, the secrets of the past are revealed, awakening memories that were thought to be buried forever.

Inspired by Tô Hoài’s classic children’s novel “Diary of a Cricket,” the story follows Cricket and friends on a journey through modern-day Hanoi to save Muddy Hamlet—a once lush land now overrun by waste.
