The market is red with flags and flowers, Nghe An traders are bustling to celebrate the day of national reunification.

Without fanfare or grand stages, traders in the traditional markets in Vinh City celebrate April 30 in their own unique way: pooling money to buy flags, red shirts with yellow stars, balloons, fresh flowers, etc. to dye their stalls red, and bustlingly 'parade' in the middle of the market. A normal day is suddenly warmed by the simple yet profound spirit of patriotism.

Unable to go to Ho Chi Minh City to watch the parade, and unable to leave their stalls to make a living, small traders at Hung Dung Market (Vinh City) have chosen their own way to express their patriotism. They pooled money to buy Party flags, national flags, red shirts with yellow stars, fresh flowers, and even “I love Vietnam” banners to organize a warm celebration filled with pride. In a space filled with bright red flags, small traders have created a big holiday — with their hearts, their hands, and their deep national spirit. Photo: Thanh Phuc
