(HBO) - People across Lac Son district celebrate the country’s National Day on September 2 each year. The atmosphere on the day is vibrant as since early morning, sporting and culture-art activities take place in all villages of Muong Van and Muong Khoi. All family members gather together drinking corn wine and people wear their best clothes to visit each other’s house.

This year, however, the celebrations were scaled down amid the complexities of
COVID-19, in an effort to protect public health and prevent the virus from
spreading.
Even so, all families meticulously prepared food trays to pay tribute to their
ancestors and late President Ho Chi Minh, wishing for health, happiness,
prosperity and peace for their children, the family, the village and the
country.
The National Day celebration in the locality has its roots in the Cong Hoa area
in Muong Vang, said Bui Van Thuom of Vo Tren village of Nhan Nghia commune.
Along with changes in Muong Vang, the scale of National Day celebration has
expanded and it is viewed nearly as grand as the country’s Lunar New Year (Tet)
festival.
Due to the pandemic, the celebration was scaled down to family-sized this year,
unlike in previous years when families usually invite relatives and guests from
other areas to join the celebration, Thuom said.
Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of the district Bui Van Duong said that
the National Day celebration has become a traditional practice which honours
contributions by the predecessors, the Party, President Ho Chi Minh and soldiers
and martyrs who fought for the country’s independence and freedom.
Upholding the tradition has helped conserve and promote the local cultural
characteristics amongst local people and tourists, fostering exchanges,
integration and socio-economic development and ensuring national
defence-security, he added./.
