Abstract

The paper deals with the concept of the mythical ancestors and issues of national identity in the process of children's socialization in contemporary Vietnam. Educational products for kids such as books, cartoons, games, school teaching materials and different kinds of extracurricular activities are considered in terms of promoting the 'Children of the Dragon and the Fairy' idea which interprets the essence of national identity for the young Vietnamese. The political objectives of the process, its achievements and its possible threats are also highlighted.
