The burdens of life across the street

Hanoi is beautiful, peaceful and also very poetic with street vendors. The very typical features of Hanoi are created by countless women from neighboring localities of the capital. Each season has its own produce, the street vendors' stalls are full of fragrant fruits and flowers.

Hanoi has its own unique character, perhaps because of the street vendors who make a living.

Women street vendors can be found in every corner and every street. Each one comes from a different countryside and has different circumstances, but they have one thing in common: they all struggle with the pressure of making a living day after day.

Hanoi is in the transitional season, the cold of late winter sometimes cuts deep into the skin, but no one complains. Street vendors start to follow the rhythm of urban life from dawn to late at night. The fate of women in a foreign land is so hard, but the money they earn is just enough to live on, and they also save and save to send back home to support their elderly parents, young children or sick husbands. The places they have been to, drops of sweat fall, leaving footprints of fatigue, but no one gives up. They still live to overcome fate and circumstances. "God gives me health, every day I get a couple hundred, I am very happy" - a woman from Bac Giang shared with a hearty laugh. She said that she had opened an account in time, with a QR code for customers to pay more conveniently.

The street vendors are mostly women. You don’t have to go far, just sit and observe on a street corner and you can see them trading hardships to nurture their dreams.
