| In the past, the craft of weaving bamboo mats and mats was very developed, but in recent years, it has gradually faded away due to the decreasing demand and the hard work, so many people have given up and followed other professions. In Hamlet 9, there are now only a few households still loyal to the craft, the majority of workers are elderly or women. Photo: Ho Chien |
