| In July 2014, Mr. Luong Van Huong in Canh Khin village (Yen Hoa commune - Tuong Duong) was unfortunately crushed by a falling tree and had to have his right leg amputated. As the breadwinner of the family, because his wife was constantly sick and he had many children, he refused to give in to fate. Sitting in one place, he still tried to make chopsticks to sell. However, the income was not worth much, so he bought a Khmu rattan chair and learned how to weave it. Photo: Dao Tho |
