Looking forward to the return of the red-crowned cranes.

On the morning of October 22nd, an exhibition of photographs titled "Waiting for the Cranes to Return" by photographer Nguyen Truong Sinh opened at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street (running until October 26th), showcasing the survival, migration, and breeding journey of the rare red-crowned crane.

56 large-format (90 x 90 cm) photographs, each with a bilingual Vietnamese-English caption, capture 56 heartwarming moments, each depicting a unique beauty and story of the red-crowned crane, while simultaneously awakening humanity's responsibility towards nature.

After nearly ten years of traveling through wetlands in Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Australia, photographer Nguyen Truong Sinh, founder of the Vietnam Nature Photography Club, has just completed his elaborate photo book, "Red-crowned Crane," which is being launched on this occasion.

This 372-page, full-color work features over 400 selected photographs from more than 100,000 original files – a rare photographic work that comprehensively captures the life, behavior, and ecological environment of the red-crowned crane – a symbol of love and life in East Asian culture.

"Only when the grasslands are revived, when people still know how to love and preserve them, can the cries of cranes return to the Vietnamese sky," shared photographer Nguyen Truong Sinh.
