After the 1954 liberation of the north of Vietnam from colonial rule, the development of the agricultural cooperative model resulted in new forms of production. Hence, means of production, including the land and the labour force, were used more efficiently. Thanks to the artist’s talent, the optimistic spirit of a coordinated working day, as well as the solid energy of farmers, is vividly depicted, promising a prosperous and full crop.
