After coming here a few more times, especially when he heard that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had visited the people of Lang Nu, and then people from all over the country joined hands to support the facilities, food and drinks, build temporary houses and build new houses for the people, then he felt that this was the right time for him to write a book.
“I told myself to try my best with the thought of telling everyone about a Nu Village that has gradually overcome adversity with the love of thousands of hearts from all over the country. The book has many painful images, but it also brings a color full of hope,” shared artist Nguyen A.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim, a resident of Nu Village, confided at the Exhibition that the people of Nu Village are still shocked when recalling that time. After nearly half a year, with the kindness and gifts that people from all over sent to the people of Nu Village, the people have a new life, and there are also laughter and songs echoing in the fields...
On this occasion, Ho Chi Minh City Book Street will display 42 photos, selected from the book “Rising to Lang Nu Village”. The exhibition will last from now until March 2.
