Q

Terribly sad

A

Buồn như mất sổ gạo

During the Vietnam war sổ gạo was a paper note on a family’s door with the quantity of rice they should receive written on it. If the note was lost (bị mất) then the family would not get their rice… obviously very sad. So if you are buồn mất sổ gạo then you are as sad as a family who lost their rice ration note 😭
