This year, however, the situation is completely different. Talking to VTC News, Ms. Van Anh, an employee of a famous photography studio with lotus photography packages with an address in Trung Liet, Dong Da, said that due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the studio lost 90% of its revenue. revenue compared to previous years. The lotus photography service lost hundreds of millions of dong because of the outbreak. According to Ms. Van Anh, every year when the lotus season comes, the studio serves about 30-40 visitors to take photos of lotus a day. On weekends, the number of visitors is even more crowded. The lotus photography package that customers often choose is the basic package for VND 699,000. Thus, each day the revenue from taking photos of lotus can reach from 20 to 29 million VND. This year, the epidemic broke out right in the lotus blooming season, so the photography service with lotus was stopped, almost no customers. “ It is estimated that the studio loses about 600-800 million VND in revenue from lotus photography service in a month “, said Ms. Van Anh. Thanh Nam, a freelance photographer, said that at the beginning of summer every year, he had to schedule a whole week to take photos of lotus flowers for guests. But this year, the lotus flower has bloomed, but no guests have booked an appointment yet. “ Even if someone booked an appointment, I had to make an appointment for them to finish the translation before taking pictures. But when will the epidemic end, while lotus blooms only have a season and do not last ‘, Nam said sadly. Lotus flowers are in full bloom in West Lake, Hanoi but are absent from visiting. It is known that the price of a set of lotus photos of this photographer ranges from 400,000 to 600,000 VND excluding makeup and costume rental. In the lotus season, he takes pictures for about 2-3 guests every day. The epidemic caused him to lose millions of money every day. Mr. Chung, owner of a lotus pond in West Lake, where photographers often go to take photos of lotus for guests, shared: “ How much does it cost to sell lotus flowers, the income only depends on the photographer, but now the photographer doesn’t bring customers to take pictures anymore, it is considered a hungry year “. In addition to the income from the entrance fee collected by visitors when taking photos at the lotus lake, in previous years, Mr. Chung also opened a rental service for costumes on the spot, this service also brought a significant source of revenue. This year, in the context of the outbreak of the epidemic, these revenues are considered to be zero, causing the owner of the lotus garden to struggle and struggle. Only counting the entrance fee to the lotus garden, lotus pond owners like Mr. Chung lose millions of dong a day because of the epidemic. 10 kiosks for renting costumes at the West Lake lotus pond are empty because there are no customers. Ms. Hoang Anh, the owner of a costume rental shop including camisole, ao dai, ba ba shirt… said that in previous years, in the lotus season, every day, customers asked to rent a camisole, every weekend they could earn it. million from this “follow-up” service. Her shop sometimes doesn’t even have enough items to rent to customers. However, this year almost no guests asked to rent anymore. On the way to the West Lake lotus garden, you can easily see street vendors selling both pink and white lotus flowers. Ms. Tuong, a seller, said that every year, at the beginning of the season, lotus flowers are expensive, selling as much as they can. Many customers buy each bunch of 10 flowers to make photo props. But this year, it’s much more sluggish, only 30,000 VND for the whole bunch and still no buyers. Street vendors filled with lotus flowers at the beginning of the season. Mai, a customer who likes to take photos of lotus, shared: “For four years now, every year I take pictures with the West Lake lotus. There are years when you have to book an appointment with a photographer, making an appointment a week before it’s your turn. This year is the season, although I am very excited and know that if I take photos at this time, I will not have to jostle and compete, but due to the epidemic, I have to comply with the regulations on distance, so I have to wait for the epidemic to end before I can take photos.” .

Like, when I first set foot in Saigon, I remember Hanoi spinning around. Remember the taste of familiar dishes, remember the afternoon driving around the windy West Lake, the lotus lake fragrant in the summer afternoon, remember the greetings of colleagues or friends before each meal, remember the joy of and a close friend peeled lemon mint ice cream sticks at Hoan Kiem Lake … 10 years of youth, I gave it all to Hanoi, how could I not love it! But, if only mixed in the smell of lotus flowers, milk flowers, not having to smell more pollution of the water flow, Hanoi will touch people even more. To Lich River was black, stinking once haunted people on both sides of the bank. I remember when I first came to Hanoi, with the nature of a pretty romantic girl, I often invited you to ride a bicycle to West Lake, Sword Lake, or along rivers to enjoy the breeze. But then, the number of times we invited each other gradually thin, because it turns out, it is not very poetic. After a few times choosing to sit in the right direction of the wind to cool, the smell of dead fish, the stench of water stinking our nose, up to our mind made us not want to open our mouths to talk. The river where my hometown was born is fierce during the flood season, but normally it is quite gentle and fresh. Every afternoon, children in the village go together to take a cool bath and snorkel. Laughter resounded in a corner of the summer sky. As for Hanoi, in addition to the immense Red River, which makes it easier for me to breathe, the rivers in the inner city are equally horrible. Among the times I drove along Lang road from Cau Giay to Tu So intersection, many times I had to learn how to hold my breath. Just inhale quickly, exhale slowly, to minimize the stench rising from To Lich river. Now, not only the river but both sides of the river are also renovated, planted trees, and made walking paths so that people can exercise every morning or evening. But the lane is still quite sparse, because the river is not clean and smelly. Rubbish, polluted algae and moss cover a thick layer on the Lu river surface. Or areas with other large rivers such as Kim Nguu River, Nhue River, Set River … and small canals and ditches in the residential areas are also black, even stronger. Previously, I did not live close to the riverbank, but it was quite close, it was only about 5 minutes to walk. Can you imagine, in the summer, when the weather is hot, the sky suddenly “releases” a few scattered raindrops that make the shallow water gush, the stench of mud, of sewage rises, making my nose wretch chop down. Not only that, the garbage flooded the water surface, picked up all this trash, the next wave came, the prince of the rivers was gentle and pleasant. Many times the fish can die in rivers, lakes, and even rivers where no living organism can survive. Pollution caused by human hands, accumulates over time, but it is very difficult to recover as before. Every day, we all follow press information about the renovation of To Lich river, hoping that one day the river can be green again, so that future generations can comfortably breathe the scent of milk flower, lotus. Hanoi in me, our Hanoi now is still lovable, but lacks a part of healthy life.
