Conclusion: Currently, traditional Eastern culture in general, Chinese culture and Vietnamese culture in particular are changing towards modernity with gender equality and acceptance of Western culture, which has had a strong impact on compliments as well as compliment responses. Accordingly, people use compliments more commonly and the way of receiving compliments is also more diverse. Regarding receiving compliments, young people are still modest in responding in a "downplaying" way, but on the other hand, they use language in a diplomatic way, that is, saying "thank you", "complimenting back" to the person who just complimented them. In general, men prefer response strategies such as complimenting the person who just complimented them, asking about the content of the compliment or just saying "thank you"; women tend to use the word thank you and share information about the content of the compliment, express emotions, etc.
