Calling it a “unicorn dance troupe” sounds grand, but in fact, it’s just about a dozen kids from grades 1 to 7.

In the old days, when most people suffering the life of deprivation and misery, the winter days attached to the boiling stoves of grandmothers and mothers. Up to now, when the life is better, the young people and many other families are keen on gathering around the hot hotpots, or spicy barbecues in the cold days in Hue.
