At 81, Trieu Tai Cao no longer has the physical strength to trek through the forest tended by his family.
But every day, even in the cold of the northern winter, he stands by the front door of his house to gaze at the forest with pride and happiness.
The trees were all planted by him and his family over 50 years, and his life has been dedicated to growing and protecting them.
Cao belongs to the Dao ethnic group, and lives in Tan Dan Commune in Ha Long Town of Quang Ninh Province, home to the world-famous bay.

Trieu Tai Cao, 80, in Quang Ninh province, a Dao Thanh Phan ethnic minority man, always has a feeling that money is never enough, and if the forest is cleared, it will be a lifetime regret.
Cao family’s small and simple house in Bang Anh village, Tan Dan Commune, in Ha Long city in Quang Ninh province is located at the end of the village, nestled at the foot of Ha My Pass, where he came nearly one century ago to settle down.
