The special art program "The Country is Full of Joy" celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification left a special impression on the people.

Under the bright lights and large stage, tens of thousands of spectators seemed to relive the historical moment, in the echoing sound of Muong gongs, immortal songs and fireworks lighting up the sky, leaving an unforgettable impression of the night, connecting the past to understand more deeply the value of freedom today and lighting up the future.

Amidst the "sea" of excited people, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Huong, 29 years old in Tan Thinh Ward (Hoa Binh City) turned to the stage, her eyes sparkling as if she wanted to capture every moment. Ms. Mai Huong shared: As a history teacher, I have told my students many times about the historic April days, about the liberation flag flying on the roof of the Independence Palace. However, witnessing a program recreating that journey, in the jubilant atmosphere, I am even more aware of the value of peace.

The program opened with the resounding sound of Muong gongs, followed by the melodies of the songs "Red Leaves" and "Marching to Saigon" that stirred deep emotions in the hearts of the audience. The two MCs Anh Duy and Van Anh, with their solemn and emotional hosting style, led the audience into the flow of history in a gentle yet captivating way.

The solemn ceremony with the flag-raising ceremony and the commemorative speech read by Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Phi Long, was like a reminder of the great sacrifices of our ancestors. The atmosphere at Hoa Binh Square seemed to be still, with each word.

Awarding the Second Class Labor Medal to the officials and people of Hoa Binh City, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung believed that: "The Party Committee, government, army and people of Hoa Binh province will continue to unite, be dynamic, creative, overcome difficulties and challenges, determined to break through, successfully carry out the set tasks and goals, together with the whole country to create a solid foundation to enter a new era - an era of striving, developing richly and prosperously"...

The most impressive part of the program is the 3 special art chapters that were elaborately staged. Chapter I - "Vang khuc truc ca" takes viewers back in time to the arduous but heroic days of war. Through the dance scene "Thirst for peace", the mashup "Mai mai tuoi tieu" and "Buoc chan tren dai Truong Son" performed by the group OPLUS, the image of young soldiers rushing into the battlefield appears vividly like a slow-motion film and bursts with emotions with the song and dance performance "Dat nuoc ton niem vui" performed by singer Tung Duong.

Mr. Nguyen Hung Cuong, Kim Boi district shared: I took my whole family to Hoa Binh Square to enjoy the art program. When listening to the song "Footsteps on the Truong Son Range", I remembered my grandfather - a veteran who had passed through that legendary road. My whole family commemorates the day he joined the army every year. Watching the program, I felt like I was reliving those heroic years.

Continuing, chapter II - "The Joy of Triumph" is a medley celebrating the victory day, with immortal songs such as "My Village Remembers You" (performed by Chau Tu Ngoc) or "A Lifetime, a Forest", "The Call of the Da River" performed by singer Duong Hoang Yen depicting the joy of the day the country was reunited, everywhere resounding with the song of unification...

Chapter III - "The Country is Full of Joy" opens with the song "The Party's Call to the Heart" as a strong affirmation of Vietnam's aspiration to rise. Songs such as "Tu Van" (performed by Duc Phuc) and "Nguoi Mien Nui Chat" (performed by Double2T) connect the beats between the previous generation and today's youth, between the memories of war and the dream of lasting peace.

50 years have passed since the great Spring victory, the country was united, the North and the South were reunited. Under the glorious flag of the Party, every change of the nation bears the mark of President Ho Chi Minh. He is always present in the hearts of millions of Vietnamese people.

Finally, emotions surged as brilliant fireworks lit up the sky, blending with the immortal melody "As if Uncle Ho were here on the great victory day". Everyone held hands and sang loudly, choking up in that sacred moment.

The special art program "A Country Full of Joy" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification has ended. In the hearts of every citizen is filled with national pride, gratitude to the generations of ancestors who sacrificed their blood and bones to reunite the country and a strong belief in a bright future for Vietnam.
