This series was submitted to the "Happy Vietnam" photo and video contest, organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications .

When the rice harvest season arrives, the vast rice fields become more vibrant than ever, with golden rice stalks swaying gently in the breeze, creating a poetic and enchanting scene. At this time, the farmers seem to be working diligently to harvest the fruits of a year's labor. The sight of people working in the fields, sometimes alongside buffaloes plowing, creates a picture of labor filled with emotion. It seems that at this time of year, everyone, from travel enthusiasts to nature lovers, flocks to the area, vying to capture unforgettable moments amidst the ripening rice.

People in Trung Khanh district are harvesting rice in the fields. In many fields, farmers still mainly use hand sickles and foot-operated threshing machines to harvest.

The harvest season here is as bustling as in other rural areas. People head to the fields, their calls, the barking of dogs, the laughter of children, the threshing of rice, the crowing of roosters, the singing of birds, the rustling of leaves in the wind… all blending together.

The scent of freshly harvested rice, the familiar aroma of straw, lulled me into a peaceful sleep in my mother's rice fields.
