"Dream - Independence Day is often celebrated with various competitions participated in by the community. From children to parents, everyone joins in the festivities of the contests held in their neighborhoods and workplaces. One of the unique competitions is the wife-carrying race, participated in by several members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) as shown below. Quoting a video from the Tiktok account @topokipi, it captures the moment when several men, who are suspected to be TNI members, are competing in a field."

"In the midst of the excitement, there was one participant who caught attention. Instead of carrying his wife like the other participants, the man chose to carry her on his shoulders. While the other participants carried their wives on their backs, this man lifted his wife above his shoulders. While carrying his wife, the man appeared to be running fast back and forth along the race track."

“Pulled her husband’s hair 😭😂😂,” said the account @ondansetron2x1. “The importance of taking care of the body so that the husband can lift things strong 😭,” wrote the account @tewtew. “Sister, why am I laughing... the concept is that a wife is not a sack of rice 🤣🤣 oh my, but you’re cool, sis, not clumsy... reminds me of when I was in the military too, around August 🤣🤣🤣,” wrote the account @lailyika90. “Her husband is like lifting cotton 😂😂,” wrote the account @jamsss_01 in the comments section. “WIFE, NOT A WATER JUG!!!” said the account @unknownsniperx in the comments section.
