Being a Hmong(Mong) American, this has been very educational to me. Please continue to produce these type of films.

Keith, mate this is mesmerizing. The singing that rings through the mountains. I've only heard it a few times whilst out there in the countryside. It vibrates right through you. Amazing. Great film. Great job. Well done.

I’m HMONG.. from USA .. good video

[@luckycharm1]

This courtship culture has been practiced for hundreds of years. My grandparents went through the same process back in the 1940’s.

It seem to me that the song when some Hmong girls sitting on the mountain the film maker used the Muong song not Hmong song. I heard some Muong words in this song and it is the Muong rhythm music.

No one can have complete happiness in life, this is the major attribute of life. God is wonderfully amazing He created diverse people with different cultures 🙂

[@Nkaujhmoolis]

Thanks for the great video. However, the pronunciation is incorrect on Hmong. It’s not Ha-mong...The H is silent (Mong)

[@keithwhu]

Thanks for the info!

[@levivue8972]

I would say about 60ish percent of your translations were wrong

[@keithwhu]

feel free to send me corrections..

[@yvonmouamoua1150]

I'm Hmong in USA, those in the video are my ppl.

[@Molineddi]

Could someone tell me what the song at 21:45 is? And where to get it? Would be awesome! Thanks in advance

[@kairosymbol1]

gifted film maker - some of the script found a bit difficult/ would have preferred more voice over but again wonderful

[@111stevenking]

it seems like they speak more than one language. one is vietnamese, the other is chinese? i wonder if everyone understands eachother

[@hitman1234ful]

Vary interesting and beautiful

[@kimthao5809]

Its Hmong. I know the "H" is silent but it Not Her-mong. Pronounce right? I hate it when Meeka says her-mong. Its Hmong Not Her-Mong or Mong.

[@nangkue8371]

Great video 👍 When was this video filmed?

[@keithwhu]

it was 2004 Nang Kue

[@jacobeksor6088]

I am Montagnard jarai tribe live in United States I use to buy Hmong vegetables here love the pea eggplant, cassava leaf, bitter melon

[@DUDEfreestyle]

Hmong people are a very interesting group of people. Very family orientated and very independent people.

[@houamoua9233]

Good to see Hmong people are in film.

[@ericjennings6267]

Could i travel there and attend this love market festival and look for a wife even if i am American?

[@_FunctionONE]

7:55-8:10 For us, we didn't kidnap. At the love market, we would ask the girl nicely and they would come willingly. If she came willingly, we would offer tribute to her parents. 8:21-8:39 Some don't cry. For the couples that genuinely liked each other, the girl wouldn't cry. If she was forced, you would see the guy dragging her while she is kicking and screaming/crying. If a girl agreed to go, for us brothers, we wouldn't hesitate, "Let's go!" (joking) 11:13-11:23 The girls don't really know how to "go steady" with the boys. They just select the one they think is nice and get married. A little bit more accurate than the subtitles.

[@neejnom8323]

Hmoob are beautiful and peaceful people, please don’t make fun of them

[@caliswagswag]

We are hmong not ha’mong🤦🏻‍♀️

[@fastcar405]

Don't you just love people that don't care enough to get spelling and pronunciation correct

[@milanek656]

interesting tradition

[@zolyusof7288]

Different culture....different part of the world

[@NeejAsmeskas]

Great story but HMONG is pronounced MONG not Ha-Mong.

[@luckycharm1]

That’s how the Vietnamese pronounce it. During my high school days, that’s how my closest Vietnamese friends called us too. Not sure why they say the “Ha”. That’s another topic to ask around.

[@NeejAsmeskas]

Doesn’t matter. If it is incorrect then it is incorrect. Correct the pronunciation when you hear it.

[@wangkchannel3206]

Very difficult for people Hmong Vietnam and not good for people Very hot work everything Hmong

[@nkaujhmoobvwj]

I went to the market n even ask the old gma selling her buffalos if she has single son, I came from America n looking for husband..she was laughing at me n said no, all her sons r married. Lol..maybe I went to the wrong market. Lol

[@oldschool8432]

Funny

[@chueyang7312]

You're probably too old or all the young men are already married

[@gaoxiong8088]

Hming Khuasab

[@jacobeksor6088]

Haaa

[@jparsit]

The Western media so stupid, most of its content is incorrect including the pronunciation of the Hmong. And this one is included. Washing UTube is like looking for a diamond in the big dump trash whole. UTube just the biggest money machine for the rubbish ads. Good effort and technical, the next one is better I hope.

[@idocastle7122]

some of these people are too young to be talking about relationships. some are only kids!

[@johndowe9251]

Probably shouldn't impose your culture on others.

[@johnnyhicks3835]

I went to a love market one time and lost my house and half my paycheck !

[@sinjersable]

Gee Johnny, that's tough!
