"Moh Nin Hei” in the language of the Wa ethnic minority means "that is what we pursue and expect, so hold on forever". /Chinanews Photo

It is a tradition of the Wa people who, regardless of age and gender, express their best wishes by using mud and paint to decorate each other in dark colors. /Chinanews Photo
