Buffalo herding season in the Southwest of Vietnam

Every year, during the flood season from July to November in the lunar calendar, herds of buffalo migrate from one field to another, seeking higher ground to rest and graze. True to the meaning of the Khmer word "len," which means "freedom," "len buffalo" refers to letting buffalo roam freely, as mentioned in the short story collection "The Buffalo Herding Season" from the collection "Fragrance of the Ca Mau Forest" (published in 1962) by the late writer Son Nam.
