Hmong Party!!!

I was invited to Hmong Party!

wohooo~~~

A lot of people thought it's religious party because they were confused by the name Hmong.

Hmong = Monk?

Nope, Hmong is an indigenous people in Asia. They are also one of the sub-groups of the Miao ethnicity (苗族) in China. They became a gradual southwest migration in China in the 18th century due to political unrest and to escape Chinese threats. Now, they are an ethnic group of people who live in China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.

In Laos, much Hmong sided with the opposition to the communists; after the Revolution of 1975, more than 100,000 fled from Laos into refugee camps in Thailand, and from where they were resettled to countries including the United States, Canada, France, New Zealand and Australia.

Didn't know there is a huge population of Hmong in Hickory area, so being able to join their party is a privilege, and this is awesome!!

I was able to meet king king's cousins, friends, and family in the party! 

We danced around on the dance floor,  listened to Hmong folk and love music.

They also taught me their language too! I learned some Hmong words!!!

It was lovely and nice evening, hope to visit their New Year Party during Thanksgiving!!!

wohoo~~
