The photo features an old woman
named Xong, a boat rower on the Hoai River in Hoi An city of the Central province
of Quang Nam. In the photo, Xong covers her face with her hands to conceal her shyness.
This work is impressive with the
smiling, optimistic and happy look of the old woman.
All of the proceeds were contributed
to the construction of a museum on Co Tu ethnic group’s culture in Tay Giang
district, Quang Nam
province, which is expected to open in late this year.
