My friend, Vu Dinh Manh, has been involved in the Red Spring Festival program for 10 years (from 2003 to 2012) as Vice President of the Hanoi Youth Volunteer Blood Donation Campaign. As a native of Bat Trang, he has coordinated with units such as the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion and Viet Duc Hospital to implement the Red Spring program in the pottery village.
The program is a beauty of Bat Trang pottery village, connecting artisans, potters, villagers and tourists together.
Spring in the pottery village attracts many ages and professions - most of them are young people from Bat Trang village and neighboring areas of Long Bien district (Hanoi) and Van Giang district ( Hung Yen ).
Mr. Nguyen Duc Thuan (right cover) - founder of the Red Spring Festival program and the blood donation movement in Vietnam, attended the 6th Red Spring event in the pottery village , taking place on February 14, 2025 with the 112th blood donation. "In the early spring, I was able to donate my blood to bring a new beginning to a life, a life - that is truly a very happy thing", said Mr. Thuan.
Taking place continuously from 2020 to present, the program has contributed 1,500 units of blood to the blood shortage after Tet, while connecting people with the spirit of harmony, a beauty of Bat Trang pottery village, connecting artisans, potters, villagers and tourists together.
Not only is it a place to donate blood to save people in Bat Trang, the organizers also incorporate programs imbued with Vietnamese cultural identity, helping blood donors have meaningful early spring emotional experiences.

At the program, participants can experience accompanying activities such as: spring tour to pottery village, countryside market, picking spring buds, enjoying spring tea, giving calligraphy, giving books at the beginning of the year...

"There is a real spring blooming in each member of the organizing committee, in me and in nearly 300 people present in the homeland at this moment.
Those thoughts, those emotions kept flowing through me, urging me to type these lines of poetry - dedicated to volunteers and people participating in blood donation activities to save lives across my homeland Vietnam:
Gently bustling every day full of happiness
Will extend the warmth of millions of hearts
The drops of blood on the first day of spring sang
Love song opens up thousands of journeys
Pink blood lights up a million dawns
And the birds chirping happily in the dark night
Every drop given - a life left
Holding hands and leisurely walking through life
Above all - giving is forever
For spring new green buds sprout
The dark clouds dissipate, millions of smiles return
I have lived a life of white clouds…”.
