The trend of turning every roof into a Vietnamese flag is causing a stir online.

In recent days, the online community has been continuously spreading images of the Vietnamese flag on corrugated iron roofs. These photos and videos have attracted millions of views, thousands of comments and shares. Many people not only left comments expressing patriotism and pride but also enthusiastically invited each other to participate, turning it into a phenomenon in the digital space. On social networking platforms, people in many provinces and cities across the country have responded enthusiastically to this trend as a small and meaningful action to celebrate the 79th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2024).

The idea of ​​painting the national flag on the roof appeared on social networks since the end of July and then spread widely. Many families took advantage of the available red corrugated iron roof, used a tape measure to measure and draw a star shape, then painted the entire star shape yellow to complete the national flag. For roofs that do not use red corrugated iron, some homeowners "willing to spend" painted the entire roof with the image of the national flag with a red background and a five-pointed yellow star. Many people also painted on tile roofs, fibro-cement roofs, and even rolling doors. What netizens always remind each other when responding to the trend of "turning every roof into a national flag" is to pay attention to safety when climbing on the roof, only doing it on sunny days, avoiding rainy days, the roof can be covered with moss and mold, making it slippery and dangerous. The family of Mr. Nguyen Van Nam (35 years old, Hanoi) completed the painting of the national flag on their roof in less than a day. "We are proud of this work. Not only to show patriotism, this is also an opportunity for family members to join hands, share and connect more," said Mr. Nam. A group of three young men from the Central region completed the flag on a 50m2 roof in nearly a day. Mr. Tran Thanh Hung (22 years old, Phu Yen), the group representative, said: "We are very proud to have completed the work of painting the Vietnamese flag on the roof together. I find the most difficult step is measuring to get the most accurate shape of the yellow star." The photos taken from above show the roofs dyed red and the bright, prominent five-pointed yellow star, stirring up the emotions and pride of viewers, making this trend even more widespread. "The image of the national flag is now not only in government agencies, schools... but it is present every day in every home of the people"; "Hopefully this trend can spread throughout the country. But everyone climbing on the roof should be careful and safe"; "This is a meaningful way to catch the trend, promote patriotism and needs to be replicated"; "The image of the national flag on the roof shows that the national flag, patriotism is always imprinted in the hearts of Vietnamese people"... Let's watch the videos to see how people "turn every roof into a national flag".
