“Peace is Truly Beautiful” movement spreads powerfully among younger generation

Just three days after its launch, the peak campaign commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 – April 30, 2025), initiated by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union under the theme “Peace is Truly Beautiful”, has rapidly and widely gained traction. As of the morning of April 24, the programme had garnered over 111 million views on TikTok alone.

This peak communication campaign is more than just a slogan — it is a declaration of the value of peace, a profound tribute to a heroic past, and a powerful source of inspiration for the present and future. It transforms these noble values into tangible, relatable, practical emotions and actions in everyday life.

These days, public offices and institutions across the country are adorned with the vibrant red of the national flag and the official “Peace Is Truly Beautiful” communication materials.

According to the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the campaign comprises a diverse and creative series of activities implemented synchronously across multiple platforms. It encourages the younger generation, especially Gen Z, to produce digital content.

Both citizens and tourists have been impressed by the exhibition commemorating 50 years since the Liberation of the South and National Reunification.

Specifically, young people are using the “Peace Is Truly Beautiful” CapCut video template issued by the Youth Union to share stories about peace, gratitude, and national pride from unique and creative perspectives.
