1957 - Silk painting
-----
During the first years following the liberation of the north of Vietnam from colonial rule, a number of soldiers returned to the countryside to help farmers in agricultural production and in developing innovative and prosperous rural villages.
The silk painting praises the warm relationship between soldiers and civilians, as well as revealing the happiness of harvest days and the joy of simple labour and love.
