Overtake

The photograph captures the moment two pairs of oxen, bearing different race numbers, are locked in a close chase. The jostling, the sound of oxen's hooves pounding in the mud, and the oxen's heads charging forward clearly illustrate the fierce competition of the race. The photograph not only depicts a sporting event but also recreates the vibrant, festive atmosphere through the large, colorful crowd of spectators in the background. It reflects the free-spirited, resilient, and joyful work ethic of the people of An Giang province.
