On our bus ride from Yen Bai to Mu Cang Chai, one of the poorest districts in the province, people sitting with goods, crowded, cramped. The car door is still open to welcome more strangers. They are old people, children, students go to school away from home. The people in the car who are happy smile, smile of sharing because it is the last bus of the rainy days.
When coming to this land, surely one thing you will very difficult to avoid the attraction of the terraces spectacular, is hailed as the pinnacle of beauty, crystallized from the culture and labor of the Vietnamese people. Male. Not only bring back the life of the people but also the history of the Mong, Dao, La Chi, Nung ethnic ... on the site Mu Cang Chai, Hoang Su Phi and Sa Pa.
If farming is hard work, all year round selling land for sale, back to heaven, the farming of the people in the Northwest is much harder than many times.
Unlike rice cultivation in the delta, the most difficult is to lead water, keep the water on high, divided for each plot of land. Allow the paddies to hold and retain water. They have to embark on land as a way to make pottery. Then use compressive force tightly so that when water enters the ground without breaking.
This year, they still keep their traditional way of farming. The whole family gathered in the fields, worked hard together and laughed with the fruits of their labor.
Ever life after life, overcome the hardships of nature, the fields are increasingly green as today.
PEOPLE WHO CLING TO THE LAND
We suddenly have such a hard thought, why are they still sticking to the village, with the fields.
We happened to hear the story of one guy, every month to work in the city minus all the remaining money left by the 80 old women at home selling rubber in the market. On the other side of the story: "In the Hmong home, a child who eats rice on his knees is immediately told: later on grow up, you're just an employee for someone else". Being employed in the town with them is not a good thing.
The rich mean that there is food, which is worn on their terraced fields. Life is simple, no jealousy, compassion, as long as they are warm, children are comfortable that they feel free to focus on farming fields.
With that simple thought, the children grow up early to help support the family, life revolves around the terraced fields that his father left, not thinking about tomorrow, leaving the village to find a livelihood. .
DO NOT BUY, SELL - That's the culture here
We are looking for ways to buy the dress is finishing the last step but the Dao girl definitely do not sell ...
Strenuous with rice fields, both the Mong women and the footman muddy hands that we have the opportunity to re-touch very skillful in embroidery, sewing
Arrive at Ta Phin - Sapa. It is easy to see each group of red Dao people sitting together embroidered sewing clothes. Costumes with them very important, no one to buy and no one to sell to each other. The Red Dao women do it with very thorough procedures, requiring perseverance and ingenuity for nearly a year to complete the complete garment.
Before returning home, the Red Dao girls are usually "special" at home focusing on embroidery, sewing, finishing their own costumes. At the same time, the costumes will follow them throughout their lives. And when he died, the costume will be buried under the loss of his ancestors.
HEALTHY HAPPINESS AND HAPPINESS ON LIFE
Northwestern people are very laughter, we think that the only motivation to resist difficult living conditions, unfavorable terrain and bad weather are the smiles.
Forget all the tired, floating rice, crop failure, landslide, floods ... Just the family gathered together, telling each other stories full of laughter. That is the happiness in the city you are not sure you have found.
Today, a small number of people have integrated into the community, finding a place to live in urban areas but they still keep that simple thought about how to look at life. And on their lips are still friendly smile, heartless not hidden.
This trip to the Northwest also closed as another journey, but it left us a new perspective on the trip later.
Most importantly, we have to feel the people where we go, feel the culture of the land then you will have feelings that do not say in words, the feeling is not expressive with pictures.
Give yourself a moment of silence. Close your eyes and feel around ...
Please follow me, i’ll tell me about my beautyful country by pictures . Thank you !!
