80 years - A source that flows on forever.

The Vietnamese National Assembly – a place where the voices of all regions, ethnic groups, and generations converge; inherits, develops, and continuously innovates its organization and methods of operation to meet the demands of reality.

Rarely has the phrase "reorganizing the nation" carried such topical and urgent significance as it does today. This is not just a slogan, but a strategic mindset that our Party is persistently implementing to create a new foundation for the country: a more streamlined apparatus, a more transparent institutional framework, stronger resources, and a more harmonious development space.

More than ever, with the spirit of "actions speak louder than words" at the Ninth Session of the 15th National Assembly , the supreme oversight role of the National Assembly is not limited to heated questioning sessions but also closely monitors every commitment of the Government. The promise to reduce administrative procedures by 260 days and eliminate 30% of business conditions… are not just vague figures, but specific goals with clear roadmaps and quantifiable targets.

The decisive leadership of the National Assembly and the concrete commitments to action from members of the Government have strengthened great confidence among the people and the business community. This confidence is built on transparency, accountability, and effective implementation. This "reorganization of the nation" is not the work of the Party, the National Assembly, or the Government alone, but requires the involvement and oversight of the entire political system, the press, and every citizen.

The series of articles "Rearranging the Nation: Decisions for Growth and Innovation" on Vietnamplus aims to paint a comprehensive, multifaceted, and emotionally charged picture of this historical transformation.

This is the first time I've chaired a project submitted to the National Press Award on the National Assembly and People's Councils (Dien Hong Award). My colleagues and I at Nhan Dan Newspaper are deeply moved and proud to have our work win the fourth Dien Hong Award (the series of articles "Arranging the Nation, Creating Momentum for National Development"). This is a great recognition and encouragement for those of us who write, contributing to improving the quality of propaganda and disseminating information about the activities of elected bodies.

This year's Dien Hong Award is even more significant as it coincides with the 80th anniversary of the first general election to elect the Vietnamese National Assembly, affirming the central role of the National Assembly in representing the will and aspirations of the people and deciding on important national issues.

The organization of the Dien Hong National Journalism Award is of great importance in encouraging and honoring journalists who create high-quality journalistic works about the National Assembly and People's Councils; thereby enhancing the depth, originality, and social responsibility of journalists. The award serves as a platform and motivation for journalists to dedicate themselves to and pursue challenging topics that are rich in political and social significance.

For readers, the award-winning works contribute to bringing the activities of elected bodies closer to life, strengthening people's trust in the National Assembly and the national policies of the Party and the State.

Journalist NGUYEN QUOC BAO, winner of the C prize at the 4th Dien Hong Award: A story about memory, responsibility, and continuity.

The work "80 Years - An Everlasting Source," produced by Dak Lak Newspaper and Radio & Television, stems from the desire to tell the story of 80 years of the Vietnamese National Assembly not only through historical milestones or legislative achievements, but also through specific individuals, through the lives of those who have been devoted to the parliament and the people. The work centers around the Nie Kdam family, from which it expands to a broader picture of the Vietnamese National Assembly through different historical periods.

The first generation – Y Ngông Niê Kđăm – was a delegate to the First National Assembly, an outstanding son of the Êđê people, and a symbol of the national unity policy from the very beginning of the nation's founding. His story is intertwined with the 1946 General Election, the resistance war, government building, ethnic policies, education, and healthcare.

The second generation – Y Ly Niê Kđăm – a member of the 11th National Assembly, continues his father's aspirations in the context of the country entering a period of reform and integration, with a focus on ethnic policies, education, and sustainable development of the Central Highlands.

The third generation – Y Thanh Ha Nie Kdam and Phuc Binh Nie Kdam – delegates to the 15th National Assembly, represent the aspirations of the new era, carrying on their family legacy while simultaneously facing the new demands of development and integration, ensuring that no one is left behind.

The stories are connected through cinematic techniques, highlighting the message: the Vietnamese National Assembly is a place where the voices of all regions, all ethnic groups, and all generations converge.

What we appreciated most about making the film was the profound humanistic value hidden behind seemingly dry pages of history. There were details that truly moved us, such as the story of delegate Y Ngông Niê Kđăm, who had been away from his hometown for 30 years and never had the chance to see his mother one last time; or the moment when the younger generation stood before their grandfather's mementos… These experiences transformed the work from just a historical documentary into a story about memory, responsibility, and continuity.
