The political and artistic television program "Epic of Peace" was organized to contribute to arousing national pride, gratitude, expressing gratitude for the great contributions of generations of fathers and brothers who fought and sacrificed for the country's peace and unity; encouraging officers and soldiers of the Vietnam People's Army and people nationwide to promote tradition, continue to strive to achieve many achievements in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland, contributing to bringing the country into a new era.

The three connecting points with the organizing locations have many meanings: Hanoi symbolizes the direction and strategic determination of the Politburo, the Party Central Committee and Uncle Ho for the resistance war against the US to save the country and the support of the great rear for the great frontline in the nation's long-term resistance war against the US. Buon Ma Thuot symbolizes the Buon Ma Thuot Victory (March 10, 1975) - opening the victory, creating a historical turning point for the great victory of Spring 1975. The historical relic of the Independence Palace (Reunification Hall) is the place that marks the sacred moment of our nation in the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign (April 30, 1975), is one of the symbols of victory, peace, unity and territorial integrity of Vietnam.
