# Ba Canh Hamlet: Ripe Rice and Mr. Phan Nho

Page 3 of a Vietnamese-language green-panelled sheet shows a woman carrying bundles of cut rice along a field path, captioned as the new widened roads of Ba Canh hamlet, and a smiling elderly man in a conical hat, captioned as 71-year-old Phan Nho, newly returned to the village and keen to build for the hamlet. The caption ends with an open question about what he wants to leave his descendants, with an arrow pointing on. The tell is the pairing of an ordinary named villager and a harvest scene to show the hamlet's progress, with no unfavourable scene shown.

Ripe rice fills the field; the women carry rice back to the hamlet along the newly widened roads of Ba Canh hamlet.

Mr. Phan Nho, 71, has just returned to the village; he is still absorbed in the work of building for the hamlet. What does he want to leave for his children and grandchildren in the future?
