Silent New Year's Eve of the janitors

At nearly 11 p.m. on New Year's Eve, at the corner of Nguyen Canh Chan - Phan Dinh Phung Street (Cua Nam Ward, Vinh City), there were still workers dragging trash bins to the collection point. The weather was cold, but the backs of the yellow shirts with reflective strips were still soaked. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| The days before Tet when people clean their houses to welcome the new year, the 30th of Tet sees the heaviest amount of trash when families throw away old tools and utensils to replace them with new ones, all of which are dumped on the streets waiting for sanitation workers to clean up.
