The program was attended by Lieutenant General Thai Dai Ngoc, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army, leaders of Khanh Hoa province, historical witnesses who directly participated in the liberation and preservation of Truong Sa, and more than 300 soldiers, singers and actors performing at the program.

The political and artistic program has a structure of three chapters, including: "Truong Sa Legend", "Truong Sa Today" and "Truong Sa Firm - The Heart of the East Sea", a harmonious combination of political and artistic arguments, conveying the message about the sovereignty, bravery and vitality of Truong Sa through half a century of construction and protection.

In the emotional exchange, Mr. Dao Manh Hong, former Squad Leader of Squad 1, Team 1, Naval Special Forces Regiment 126 (now Naval Special Forces Brigade 126), shared, "The campaign to liberate Truong Sa is a special mission, requiring courage and a strong spirit. We only carry one belief: to protect the island is to protect the Fatherland. Standing here today, watching the young generation grow up, is an incomparable happiness and pride."

Sharing the same sentiments, Mr. Le Van Tan, former Chief of Truong Sa Island from 1975 to 1987, emotionally said: “With the spirit of youth, we came to the island with the determination to protect the island, to fulfill the mission assigned by the Party and the State. We lived the most difficult early days on the island, when there were only coral reefs and the sound of wind and waves. Today, looking at Truong Sa, spacious and full of life, I believe that the young generation will continue and write the journey to protect this sacred sea and island area.”

The art program “Truong Sa Vitality” brings a series of profound and poignant songs about love for the sea and islands, such as “Singing with the island soldiers”, “Love of the sea”, “Homeland, love and youth”, or “Memories of distant islands” performed by beloved singers.

In addition, the program also shared the feelings of fishermen who, while fishing at sea and exploiting seafood in Truong Sa fishing grounds, had work-related accidents and were promptly treated by doctors at the infirmaries on the islands.

The stage space with the image of the red flag with yellow star fluttering in the sky, historical scenes and real-life reports in Truong Sa island district, contributed to highlighting the strategic role of the island district, which is considered a "fortress" protecting the Fatherland from the sea.

The program also introduced the Project to build Truong Sa Museum, which has been approved by Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee and will be constructed in Cam Hai Dong Commune, Cam Lam District. This is a modern project with historical, cultural and educational significance. The museum is not only a place to preserve memories, artifacts and images of the process of fighting, building and developing Truong Sa, but also a typical destination in the journey to inspire patriotism and preserve sovereignty over the sea and islands for future generations.

The political and artistic program "Truong Sa Vitality" is not only a deep gratitude to those who made history, but also expresses the aspiration for sustainable development of the sea and islands, affirming the role and position of Vietnam - a country strong in the sea, rich from the sea and always looking to the sea for peace, maintaining sovereignty and increasing prosperity in accordance with the spirit of Resolution No. 09-NQ/TW, dated January 28, 2022 of the Politburo on building and developing Khanh Hoa province to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
