At the festival, journalist Nguyen Ngoc Anh - Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, Editor-in-Chief of Saigon Giai Phong Hoa Van Newspaper, Head of the festival's organizing committee, shared that ethnic groups around the world are always conscious of preserving their writing and language because they are the soul and quintessence of a national culture.

In addition to conveying semantic messages, each written word also contains a philosophy of life. And more specifically, with the talent of the writer, each written word (that is, each character) can become a picture. Over thousands of years of history, that unique feature has been promoted to become an art form: the art of calligraphy.

According to journalist Nguyen Ngoc Anh, what is more valuable is that the beauty of calligraphy, in addition to beautifying life, is also elevated to benefit life through charitable calligraphy activities.

In the spirit of celebrating the Party and the spring of the whole country, the 14th Charity Calligraphy activity of the Year of the Dragon was organized with a very special meaning, contributing to preserving and promoting the national cultural traditions while mobilizing the strength of the community to join hands to support the Chinese people to have a warm and complete Lunar New Year.

Over the past 13 years, the Organizing Committee has received more than 1 billion VND from contributions from businesses, Chinese clubs, philanthropists, etc. All contributions were supported by the Social Charity Committee of the Saigon Giai Phong Hoa Van Newspaper to support poor households during Tet and many meaningful community support activities.

Up to now, the Charity Calligraphy program has built nearly 30 charity houses for the poor and annually supports the fund for caring for the elderly and disadvantaged cadres of the Ho Chi Minh City Association of Literature and Arts of Ethnic Minorities, the Traditional Resistance Club of the Chinese bloc of the city, the Calligraphy Association, etc.
