The event, bringing together nearly 650 artists and actors, was attended by Politburo member and Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan, revolutionary veterans, Vietnamese heroic mothers, and war veterans.
Songs and dances at the programme recounted the undaunted fighting spirit and bravery of the city’s soldiers and people during the struggle for national independence and freedom, particularly during the 1968 General Offensive and Uprising, which contributed to the victory of the Ho Chi Minh campaign in 1975, thus liberating the South and reunifying the nation.
Participants also listened to talks shared by historical witnesses, who directly involved in the General Offensive and Uprising. Their stories recalled parts of occurrences of the historic event and exemplary soldiers during the fighting.
