People's Artist Le Khanh, Meritorious Artist Duc Hung, Miss My Linh practice for National Day September 2

In the joyful atmosphere of the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025), many artists and beauties were extremely excited and proud to be selected to attend the grand parade at Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi .

Meritorious Artist - Designer Duc Hung: Proud to be Vietnamese

Meritorious Artist - Designer Duc Hung shared with VietNamNet reporter: "The first feeling that comes back is the memory of 30 years ago, when I was just over 20 years old, having the honor of participating in the parade on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of National Day, September 2. At that time, I and artists such as People's Artist Lan Huong, People's Artist Le Khanh... woke up at 2am to concentrate, excited, nervous, and passionate about practicing.

Today, after 3 decades, that emotion has returned. Once again, I am wearing the costume of a brotherly ethnic group in the 54 ethnic groups, walking alongside artists and compatriots across the country. There is nothing more proud than seeing the national cultural foundation still preserved and developed sustainably.

Just the sound of music during the practice session, we can clearly feel the national spirit spreading like an affirmation to the world about the strong vitality of the country.

I am anxiously waiting for the day of training at My Dinh Stadium and the official moment of the parade at Ba Dinh Square. In my heart, a dream has been kindled that if there is an occasion for the 90th or 100th anniversary of National Day, despite my old age, I still hope to continue to participate, still maintaining the enthusiastic spirit of a Vietnamese son. I am proud to be a son of the Capital, to participate in the great event of the nation. I love Vietnam!", Meritorious Artist Duc Hung shared.

Artist Thu Huyen enthusiastically practices regardless of rain or shine

Thu Huyen - an artist from Hanoi Drama Theater expressed her pride in participating in this parade. Although she only contributed a small part to the huge workload of the celebration, during the rehearsal, everyone strictly followed the regulations.

''As artists, appearance is very important, but we are willing to practice from 7am to 11:30am, and from 1:30pm to 5pm, regardless of the scorching sun or the showers. Every day we are enthusiastic and happy, and in the evening we return to the theater to perform. I have played many roles in historical plays. Therefore, I understand the sacrifices of our ancestors and cherish the moments of living in peace, '' artist Thu Huyen shared with VietNamNet.

Miss My Linh is ready when the country needs her

Miss Nguyen Thi My Linh was honored to be one of three beauty queens selected to attend the parade at Ba Dinh Square alongside Miss Luong Thuy Linh and Miss Ha Truc Linh.

My Linh shared her emotions when she was able to immerse herself in the sacred atmosphere of the day Uncle Ho read the Declaration of Independence. For her, this is not only a personal honor but also a responsibility in spreading the image of graceful, confident and patriotic Vietnamese women to international friends.

The beauty is always grateful and respectful to the previous generations who protected the Fatherland and brought peace to the nation. She is proud to be a young generation of Vietnamese who love their country and are always ready when the Fatherland needs her.

On his personal page, People's Artist Duc Long also posted a photo of him practicing with People's Artists Le Khanh and Lan Huong. He wrote: ''After 9 days of practice at Viet Xo Palace, we moved to My Dinh Stadium and Ba Dinh Square in unpredictable weather to practice and walk smoothly. It was not until September 2 that we completed the task. We had to arrange to spend 3 consecutive weeks seriously participating from beginning to end. For older artists, we had to try hard to keep up. Many famous artists wanted to join in the joy of the country but their health did not allow it and had to "fall off the chain" and could not follow the entire training program.''
