Mango fest to commence later this month in southern Vietnam

Provincial authorities on Wednesday held a press conference to announce the event, whose highlight will be a display of digital transformation applications which help remove many of the obstacles faced by local farmers.

Eighteen activities are slated to take place before, during, and after the festival. 

These include a story-writing contest, a children’s drawing competition, a photography contest, an exhibition showcasing mango products and local specialties from Dong Thap, and familiarization trips to mango farming areas.

The festival will also include two seminars featuring discussions on measures to enhance the value, and promote the sustainable growth, of the province’s mango farming and tourism sectors.

Some reporters at the press briefing fielded questions on whether the festivals in Dong Thap have lived up to authorities’ expectations or if they just overwhelm local residents.

In response, Nguyen Phuoc Thien, vice-chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, asserted that the mango festival is among the measures to promote post-pandemic trade and increase the consumption of Dong Thap mangoes.

The festival is scheduled to coincide with the mango harvest season when low prices help promote their sales, the official said.

“We organize familiarization trips to take business representatives, investors, and visitors to mango farming regions and mango processing plants that have secured approval to export their products,” he added.

“In addition, digital transformation applications and a virtual reality exhibition will help visitors explore virtual mango farms at the festival.”

Mango is among the six agricultural staples produced in Dong Thap, with its total farming area exceeding 14,000 hectares.

About 250 farming regions in the province got licenses to ship the fruit to China.

Vietnamese Dance Team to Participate in Summer Festival in Japan

The Yosakoi Soran festival, one of Japan’s most renowned summer festivals, has been around for more than three decades. Since 1992, the Annual Naruko Festival has been held in Hokkaido at the beginning of June. People celebrate traditional music and dances performed with Naruko, an ancient Japanese percussion instrument. The festival is also marked by the singing of the traditional “Soran Bushi” song, which was once sung by local fishermen as they went herring fishing. At Sapporo Odori Park in Sapporo, Japan, dance teams competed for four days, from June 7-11. This year, for the first time, the festival utilized Virtual Reality (VR) technology to present 3D performances. The festival’ slogan is “The streets are our stage!”, which was decided after witnessing the magic and passion of the historical Yosakoi Festival in Kochi – the birth place of Yosakoi.

Vietnamese writer shares love of homeland in award-winning English-language book

Hình ảnh
A dream Mai, originally from Ninh Binh Province in northern Vietnam, wrote “The Mountains Sing” as a way to spread Vietnamese literature and culture by recounting the story of a Vietnamese family’s journey through the twentieth century, including their trials and tribulations during the French Colonial period, the separation of the North and the South, the Vietnam War, and the present day. Her inspiration for the novel was a deep frustration that language barriers were a major obstacle for international readers who wished to access Vietnamese literature.  The books on Vietnam that English-language readers did have access to were primarily about the Vietnam War and written by Western writers who gave their Vietnamese characters little-to-no voice, using them mostly as background characters. Mai also felt that Hollywood movies often depicted Vietnamese women as victims or “blank characters,” without the ability to make their own decisions. For many years, Mai and vari...
