Lang Nu Hamlet in Bao Yen District, Lao Cai Province, was hit by a devastating mud-rock flash flood that buried 37 households and left 95 people dead or missing on September 12 afternoon.
At an art performance performed by HCMC's artists, women residing at Lang Nu Hamlet said that after three months, they could finally hear the sound of music again, touching the hearts of the artists.
It is difficult for the local people to forget the massive damage to property and lives following Typhoon Yagi in Lang Nu, other areas in Lao Cai, and several northern provinces.

He wished that the delegation’s small gifts would contribute to alleviating the suffering of flood-hit families.
