"Yen Thanh is the mother and father, when you are hungry and have ragged clothes, come to Yen Thanh". The folk song shows the richness of a land that is also the granary of the people of Nghe An, evoking a Yen Thanh full of love, tolerance, always opening its arms to welcome the poor. The photo is not only a beautiful moment but also a story about a simple countryside, about the love of people and the love of land here. Under the golden sunlight of the late afternoon, the fields are harvested, leaving only stubble. The scene exudes a strangely peaceful look. The highlight of the photo is the image of a herd of buffaloes slowly returning home after a day of eating their fill, behind are the buffalo herders, their shadows cast long diagonally on the banks of the fields.
