Artwork: My Village on the Last Day of the Year. In the bustling atmosphere of Tet (Lunar New Year), the image of police officers and ethnic minority people in Lan Chau village, Huu Lien commune, gathering to wrap banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) evokes a warm and intimate feeling. More than just a community mobilization activity, this is also a sharing of affection, demonstrating the solidarity between the military and the people in the highlands. The warm smiles beside the wooden houses, the traditional clothing, and the budding peach blossoms heralding spring – all blend together to create a peaceful Tet scene, rich in Vietnamese identity, inspiring faith and happiness on every step of development.
