This is not only a grand anniversary but also a real New Year, like the traditional New Year, bringing joy, excitement, and pride. The most colorful costumes worn by people, the eager footsteps down the mountain..., all create a brilliant cultural picture blending with the flow of national history.
Mong people in Lao Chai commune, Lao Cai province happily celebrate Independence Day.
While the morning dew still lingered on the mountainside, the sound of the flute echoed throughout the village. At Co De Seng B village, in a sacred and excited atmosphere, the family of Village Chief Giang A Cheo diligently cleaned the house, hung up Uncle Ho's picture neatly, and the national flag fluttered in front of the house, ready to welcome the big holiday.
Sitting by the fire, Mr. Giang A Cheo told his children and grandchildren about the historical milestone of 1945, when President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence. Since then, like the whole country, the Mong people have had another "Tet", which is Independence Day. This is an occasion for people to express their deep gratitude to the Party and the State and to remember the great contributions of Uncle Ho.
“On the occasion of Independence Day, everyone in the villages is excited. Many people, even though they work far away, try to arrange to return to their hometown to meet and share the joy and national pride,” said Village Chief Giang A Cheo.
Groups of people, young and old, men and women, from remote villages dozens of kilometers away from the center, came down the mountain together. Every face radiated a radiant, eager look. The strong young men went to the large yards, enthusiastically singing the traditional flute and dance. It was not only an artistic performance but also a confession of solidarity, of the new life that was changing every day on this land. Groups of young men and women participated in folk games, pounded rice cakes, competed in weaving, and their laughter echoed loudly...
In the past, when people from Lao Chai commune went down the mountain to celebrate Independence Day, they had to walk all day, sometimes from the previous afternoon. Now, the socio-economic development has been increasingly developed, including the synchronous development of traffic infrastructure, concrete roads to residential areas to help people travel and trade conveniently. Every house has a few motorbikes, many families even own cars. Therefore, there is no longer the scene of walking all day, only about one or two hours for the whole family to be present at the commune center. Independence Day this year is even more meaningful when localities have completed the work of merging and reorganizing the apparatus of the political system.
Talking to us, comrade Dao Thi Thu Thuy, Secretary of Lao Chai Commune Party Committee said: "Activities on Independence Day not only create excitement, joy, and motivation for people to continue to strive to improve their lives, but also open the door to attract tourists, making an important contribution to economic development and improving the quality of life of the people."
