The special political and artistic programme “Joining hands together” was part of the “Proud to be Vietnamese” series. It was a national-scale political and artistic event held in Thai Nguyen for the first time.
The event brought together many well-known artists, including Tung Duong, Meritorious Artist Dang Duong, Meritorious Artist Hoang Tung, Viet Danh, Bui Le Man, Noo Phuoc Thinh, Hoa Minzy and Vo Ha Tram. They were joined by hundreds of trainees from Military School of Military Region 1, dancers and students from several universities.
To enable members of the public who could not attend in person to enjoy the event, the organisers set up two outdoor screening venues with large LED screens at Van Xuan Square in Van Xuan Ward and Song Cau Pedestrian Street Square in Bac Kan Ward.
The programme comprised three chapters, recreating major historical milestones, and honouring the tradition of patriotism, the strength of great national unity and the aspiration to build a prosperous and happy country.
Featuring many renowned artists, the programme was elaborately staged, combining a variety of art forms to create an emotionally rich performance space that spread national pride and the spirit of solidarity.
At the event, audiences enjoyed timeless songs. A highlight between the revolutionary songs and new compositions was a ceremony in which war veterans carried the traditional revolutionary flame from the Dinh Hoa Safety Zone and handed it to representatives of the younger generation, who used it to light the ceremonial flame at Thai Nguyen Stadium.
On the stadium pitch, tens of thousands of people wearing red shirts with the yellow star enthusiastically sang along with the performers, creating a rousing atmosphere. In the stands, thousands of people simultaneously switched on their mobile phone flashlights, creating a striking visual spectacle.
The national concert “Joining hands together” concluded with an eight-minute high-altitude fireworks display, filling those who had the opportunity to witness it with pride and excitement.
