The straw stirs

Straw on the road, straw on the wall.

And with each harvest season, the fields glow with a brilliant golden color. The villages and hamlets become bustling and lively...

Whenever I pass through villages like these, the simple beauty of the Vietnamese countryside unfolds, familiar and endearing: harvesting here, carrying loads there… Deeper into the village, I encounter scenes of rice and straw being dried…

A feeling, perhaps a stirring in the heart, arises upon encountering those familiar images. Those images of hardworking beauty evoke deep memories in us.

And hopefully, the images below can remind us of the stories of the Vietnamese people and Vietnamese villages.

The harvest season in the fields.

Dry straw is gathered into haystacks (straw piles) to be used as fuel or stored as feed for cattle during the winter.
