ncijntujyang, you need to go and explore the real Hmong lives before you make any comment here. You make Hmong men looks bad and it's not true as you said. I agree with mycikbigger. Yu can't use we/men. because you do not know what hmong men doing. You only know yourself. you suppose to use " I " U cant' say Hmong men lazy as yourself
I think we Hmong men are so lazy...we don't know how to love our women...and try to make better life for them. We Hmong men need to work harder so our women can appreciated us. We can't just stay home and making babies....sorry.
@ncigntujyang Hey i think u should rephrase "we hmong men". becuzz i for one am not lazy. i cook, i clean, do laundry, and change diapers. and i'm a badboy (me nyuam laib). some men would think this is women's work. i don't do it becuzz i have to, i do it because i love my wife in my family. if u r refering to the video, their husband's probably out hunting or farming. or jus at home smoking opium, true. but rememebr that not all hmong men are like that. GET IT RIGHT.
I think we Hmong men are so lazy...we don't know how to love our women...and try to make better life for them. We Hmong men need to work harder so our women can appreciated us.
Why don't all the men in the village go and make the small path up the hill a little easier for our woman to carry basket of food and things up the damn hill instead of smoking opium and playing cards.
..... to [#2] basic infectious diseases (how eating raw meat & blood, drinking unfiltered water, etc.), you think more than 2-3 villages would follow my advice? At least 95% of the villagers who've heard me would think I WAS THE CRAZY, stupid person. "Neeg ntxawj ntawv xwb; tsis yog neeg ntse. Yog neeg ntse es yuav mus hais lus dog dig, phiv cov lus, cov txawj noj, txawj us," blah, blah, blah... It's hopless, really, unless & until the young have a formal, good & modern education.
Very few individuals have the personal wherewithal, or the luck, to escape such a bindingly strong leash on members of tribal people who are, as you [correctly] put it, "hard headed." If I were to go into 100 average Hmong villages & tried to explain things from simple hygiene practices (such as [#1] not dipping a spoon just taken out of your mouth, into a common pot of rice or bowl of soup, SO AS TO AVOID passing germs, bacteria, or viruses around, IF a person is infected).....
Hmong are hard headed people.I know cause i'm hard headed.If you tell them to change you are asking for trouble because we think that you are trying to be smarter than us.We are jealouse so we kill.Our people have smart people over the century,but all got kill cause they try to take advantage of the poor.So if you are smart you might no live too long.That has always existed.We never change.
@HmongGuitarPlayer I am sure a few were ostracized or even killed. The "smart ones," that is. But by and large, CONFORMITY is what happens to even the brightest born into very small tribal people. The pressure to conform, to look at and believe things --- to perpetuate "age old" "poj yawm txwv koob" cov tradition & beliefs --- like those around you IS VERY POEWRFUL...
I use a laptop (connected to the Internet) to make a living; Hmong in Laos don't have the wherewithal to do that. Not that physically or mentally they can not. It's just that they don't have the education and communications infrastructures to do that. Most still resort to semi-slash and burn methods, like my parents used to do, in their youth. Again, Hmong children need to have a formal education. Otherwise, no body can "teach" them to imagine life & living beyond their little villages.
We need people who could TEACH these other Hmong (seen here) who live like our ancestors had lived 500 or 5,000 years ago, so they too would have more time to enjoy life's many things, beyond getting up at 4 AM to prepare for work & coming home at 8 PM ... working 12 to 18 hours a day, from one generation to the next, in endless generations, doing EXACTLY the same thing, living on the very edge of existence...
@HmongGuitarPlayer The journey, the "teaching," the pursuit is not necessarily a literal one (although having someone there to show you is easier, I must admit). Instead, it is a SELF-REALIZATION. People, as individuals & as groups, must come to some understanding about themselves and their environment and take concrete steps to make life easier, better, as opposed to doing the exact same things, the same ways, they heard their ancestors had always done things, like Hmong like to say.
When you live at very high places, & women have to spend over 1/4 of their time getting water, 1/4...doing paj ntaub & ri tsho, & 100%... raising babies (and only some serving to adulthood, due to sickness, malnutritient/health, & other problems), plus women doing farm work full time as well --- & the fact that most of those cattle are raised, not as ECONOMIC commodities, but only to be sacrificed to elders who die --- the Hmong just don't progress very fast in their isolated life and living.
I concur that the Hmong living in these condition will make limited progress only, but they are not examples of all Hmong. Many live in the cities but are victims of an authoritarian government. Everyone suffers under such a system not just the Hmong. Given the opportunity, the Hmong can make great strive in just one generation. State Senator Mee Moua, Fresno City Council Blong Xiong, author Kao Kalia Yang, boxer Xiong Chaozhong, and singer Song Zuying are a few examples.
@101stvj For some reason, and while it is very understandable, the general Hmong seems to be so enarmored with "ua nom, ua tswv." State Sen. Moua (who has quit) and any other elected official... it's no big deal. They are just small, insignificant bureaucrats, elected to vote on city/state budgetary activities. We need Hmong who can add, multiply, do chemistry & calculus & engineering, people who understand basic hygiene, virology, medicine, modern husbandry, etc.
These people are smarter than anyone I've ever seen. From what I observe there is no forced labor as a requirement for money in exchange for services? You have your own food, wood... No tax to pay the government?

@Hmong2KY. You must be kidding. US Hmong have absolutely nothing to offer Laos, except grand but empty rhetoric. I bet you have nothing significant to offer, either. As to your statement, Lao people live on fishing whereas Hmong people in general do not fish in case you don't know. It is absurd to make a claim that an amateur is a better practitioner than a pro.
@exopheric You must be mistaken. US Hmong send thousands of dollars to their families in Laos and hundreds of thousands more visiting their relatives. Beside the foreign aid Laos receives, US Hmong are the largest source of hard currency for Laos.
