Chapter 2 — “The Unified Path” depicted the legendary paths that contributed to the victory of the resistance war against the US to reunify the country.
Chapter 3 — “The Road to the New Era” conveyed and spread President Ho Chi Minh’s teaching on building a strong people's army, providing strong support for the struggle to consolidate peace and achieve unification, independence, and democracy throughout the country.
The programme brought many art performances that are elaborately staged, combining large scenes, reports, and conversations, while vividly depicting the heroic army’s 80-year journey of building, fighting, and development.
