National flag making village busy before the anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification Day

In Tu Van village, every day, people here make tens of thousands of flags but still cannot supply the market.

About 30km south of Hanoi center , Tu Van village has long been famous for its traditional national flag making craft, with nearly 80 years of attachment.

According to local people, Tu Van village used to mainly make paintings, then gradually switched to making flags and developed into a traditional profession that has been preserved and passed down through many generations.

As the anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification on April 30th approaches, the sewing workshops in the village become bustling and busy. The atmosphere of urgent work is everywhere, the bright red of the national flag is present in every corner of the workshop.

Ms. Vuong Thi Nhung, a producer, shared: “Every time the country’s major holidays come around, purchasing power increases. Currently, my family produces thousands of flags of various sizes every day, but it is still not enough to meet market demand.”

Developing traditional crafts not only helps households in Tu Van village have a stable source of income, but also demonstrates patriotism and national pride.

Mr. Nguyen Van Phuc, another sewing workshop owner, shared: “To make a flag, workers like us must put all our heart into every stitch. Every detail must be precise and meticulous, because the flag is not just a product, but also a sacred symbol, containing the soul of the nation.”

Steps to make the national flag

“We are proud to be national flag makers, contributing a small part to preserving and promoting the national culture. Seeing the flags made by our own hands flying all over the country, we workers cannot help but feel proud,” said Mr. Phuc.

The number of flag embroiderers in Tu Van village is still small, mainly the elderly, because this job requires experience and meticulousness. A skilled worker usually takes 2 to 3 days to complete a flag.

Currently, large-scale production households in Tu Van village have invested in modern machinery, with automatic programming systems on computers. Thanks to that, the fabric cutting process achieves high precision, sharp details, faster speed, and timely response to large orders.

These days, factories are focusing on producing flags of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam in time for the upcoming April 30th celebration activities.

Tu Van village also focuses on passing on the profession to the next generation. Many families have introduced their children to the profession from a young age.
