Lieutenant Colonel Le Huy Bay - Head of La Ee Border Guard Station, said that every year, on the occasion of Mid-Autumn Festival, border guards coordinate to organize entertainment programs, raise funds to buy candy to give to children and people in the border area.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Bay, when making the unicorn, the head part was not too difficult with the "skills" of the soldiers. However, the material for the body part was not found. In the end, the soldiers made use of their raincoats and it looked quite suitable.

Lieutenant Colonel Bay shared that the people living in the Vietnam-Laos border area in Nam Giang are mostly ethnic Co Tu and Ta Rieng people. Their lives are still difficult and deprived, so watching lion dances is quite a luxury for them. Many children, including adults, are seeing lion dances for the first time.

In addition to the initiative of creating extremely impressive unicorns, the soldiers also made hundreds of lanterns from beer and drink cans collected from shops and restaurants, giving them to students at the border.
