(Baonghean) - Like other ethnic groups living throughout the country, the Mong people in Nghe An always joyfully welcome spring. This is an occasion to remember the merits of their ancestors, to celebrate with singing and dancing, and to wear new clothes to go out and enjoy the spring festivities. Life may sometimes be difficult, but the people always remain optimistic and have faith in the leadership of the Party and the State. Living on high mountain peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, and enduring harsh weather, smiles always grace their faces.
These are images captured by reporters from Nghe An Newspaper in several Mong villages in Ky Son and Que Phong districts:
