EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, several generations of a Tho ethnic family are captured in a moment of quiet reflection, gathered together in front of their humble village entrance in Lang Son Province, Vietnam, circa 1910. The Tho people, also known as the Keo, Mon, Cuoi, Ho, Tay Poong, are an ethnic group residing primarily in the mountainous regions of Lang Son, Quang Ninh, and Bac Giang provinces in northern Vietnam. Their language, which is closely related to Vietnamese, is spoken by over 150,000 individuals. The family members, dressed in traditional clothing, exude a sense of unity and resilience. The elders, with their weathered faces and wise expressions, carry the weight of experience, while the children, with their curious eyes and bundles in hand, represent the future. The adults, some carrying sticks or other tools, appear to be returning from a day of labor in the fields or forests. The village, nestled in the lush greenery, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Tho people. The entrance, adorned with intricate carvings and patterns, reflects their rich cultural heritage. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of this ethnic group during the early 1900s, a time when Tonkin, the northern region of Vietnam, was under French colonial rule. This poignant image invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the human experience, as well as the importance of preserving the traditions and stories of ethnic communities like the Tho. The photograph is a reminder that each family, no matter where they are from, has a unique and valuable history that deserves to be celebrated and shared.
