(HBO) - I came back to Luc Doi hamlet, Kim Binh commune on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I arrived at Mrs. Bui Thi Ky's house, the chairman of the club to preserving the identity of Muong ethnic culture.

 

The performance of the club in the village festival

It is known that the Club was established in May 2014. At the beginning, the Club had only 23 members. Up till now the number of the members has been thirty ones of different ages and industries, including children and teenagers.

Saying about the operation of the club, Ms. Ky has told me that in order to get today’s results, we have experienced many difficulties. The biggest difficulty is that the initial cost of the club is limited. There were times when we had to mobilize the contributions of the mass organizations in the locality and the members of the club. The instrument and costumes were mostly self-made.

Besides, the language barrier between members was also a great difficulty because some of them were Kinh ethnic people, so learning about Muong culture is not easy. The most difficult is the young people's indifference to the folklore of the nation, causing many obstacles for us to transmit to the children. However, it is very fortunate for us to receive a lot of interest and support from mass organizations from provincial to commune levels, the support of the community and the consensus of the club’s members, which has created further motivation for us to keep trying”.

Ms. Bui Dieu Linh, (14 years old) the club member says "When I was little, my grandmother often told me the stories of Muong people such as The Land Laying Epic, Mr. Cuoi and lullaby. Yet, I still did not very well understand them. Since participating in the club, we have heard and learned the ancient stories, lullabies, folks, Thuong Rang and Bo Meng. I feel really proud because I was born and grew up on a land with a strong cultural identity.
