Before the large-scale parade to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, a hair salon in Beijing has become a special destination for children who want to express their patriotism. The shop owner, Ms. Vuong Tuyet Nhu, said that since the beginning of the month, many young customers have requested to engrave national flags or tanks on their heads.
Realizing the increasing demand, she decided to turn these requests into free services for each haircut, as long as the children agreed. I think, why not give this painting performance for free? As long as the children like it, we will do it, Ms. Vuong shared.
Ms. Vuong herself was also eagerly waiting for the parade. She hopes that when watching TV or broadcasting live, she can recognize children with hairstyles created by her own hands. Maybe Ill see a kid with a small flag on his head, and that could be my customer, she said excitedly.
The 3.9 parade, also known as "Victory Day", commemorates the day Japan surrendered and ended World War II, while showing China's growing military power. The event was meticulously organized, and is expected to introduce many modern weapons such as fighters, missile defense systems and hypersonic weapons.
Ms. Tran Nam, a parent who brought her son to get her hair cut, said that this activity not only creates joy but also has educational significance. I think this is very meaningful for children. For us, peace remains the most important thing, and the hope of sustainable peace will be maintained, she emphasized.
Hairstyles expressing patriotism have become a special part of the atmosphere before the important event, where national spirit blends with military pride.
