Special publications during special lessons

These are the images we recorded during the Vietnamese language class of Lao officials and Lao students studying at Son La College (Son La province).

As scheduled, at exactly 2:30 p.m. on May 6, we arrived at Son La College, where 351 staff and international students from 9 provinces of the Lao People's Democratic Republic are studying.

We were welcomed by teacher Lo Van Nghia, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Training, Son La College. He shared: During the holidays, Lao students also returned home, only a few stayed, but the school still sent a special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper for them to experience and learn. After the holidays, the school organized for Lao staff and Lao students to experience the content of Nhan Dan Newspaper supplement in Vietnamese language classes.

Attending a Vietnamese language class of Laotian students, we encountered a very exciting atmosphere with the image of about 40 Laotian students using smartphones to scan QR codes to experience the content on the special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper.

During the Vietnamese class, the teacher introduced the Laotian students to the content of the special publication of Nhan Dan Newspaper.

Teacher Sa Thi Hang Nga, who is teaching Vietnamese to Laotian students, introduced: This is a Vietnamese class for students from 9 northern provinces of Laos. The students in the class have just experienced vivid 3D footage about the heroic victory on the historic day of April 30, 1975 of the Vietnamese army and people. They were very excited and even asked to watch it again. Currently, they are experiencing scanning QR codes with their phones. Because some students have not installed the application to watch, others who are familiar with it are instructing each other.

After experiencing it through the projector and directly with his phone, Phonepasevt Toy, class K23D, Son La College, excitedly said: This is the first time I have experienced the history of Vietnam through a printed newspaper with digital technology applications like this. I find it very interesting and impressive with the way of learning about history through the combination of a paper newspaper and modern technology devices.

Lao officials studying at Son La College experience digital technology using smartphones by scanning QR codes on a special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper.

Pointing to the newspaper page with a QR code with an image of our tank crashing into the gate of the Independence Palace, Laotian student Phonepasevt Toy excitedly said: I really want to continue to experience learning about Vietnamese culture and history in class through publications like this, because the vivid visual images create excitement for us and it is easy to understand and remember Vietnamese phrases about history.

Building B3 of Son La College has a Vietnamese language class for cadres from departments and branches of Laos. The atmosphere of the class is also very exciting when 3D images with vivid sound about the heroic spirit of the Vietnamese army and people marching to Saigon on April 30, 1975 are projected by projector onto 2 supplement pages that are combined into a sand table and pasted on the board.

Some Lao students said this was the first time they experienced digital technology while learning about history in a printed newspaper.

At the time we were there, we saw about 40 officials from departments and branches of 9 northern Lao provinces attentively looking at the screen projected from the projector at the special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper posted on the board.

Vivid sound and 3D images recreating the historical moment of the Vietnamese people on the Liberation and Reunification Day were shown in a classroom space of about 50 square meters, attracting the attention of Lao students, making them feel as if they were present in that heroic battle...

In addition to giving away the special supplement, the Representative Office of Nhan Dan Newspaper in Son La also coordinated with Son La College to guide Lao officials and Lao students on how to experience the publication by phone.

Holding the special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper in his hand, Mr. Sedthiphonh Serth, class K14B, currently a teacher at Luong Pha Bang Provincial Pedagogical College, Laos said: Before that, on the morning of April 30, I watched the Vietnamese military parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of Vietnam. I was really moved and proud when Vietnam invited the military parade of the Lao People's Democratic Republic to join the parade. That further affirmed the solidarity and special friendship between the two countries not only in wartime but also in peacetime.

The supplement commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day includes 8 pages of special information, recreating part of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign with the milestone of capturing the Independence Palace.

Readers can interact with the supplement through augmented reality (AR) technology or 3D mapping projection. Readers can also project 3D mapping at home following the instructions.

Teachers of Son La College also introduced Lao cadres studying at the school to the special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper.

Teacher Hoang Thi Minh Hien shared: Most Lao officials and Lao students studying in Vietnam have read many Vietnamese printed newspapers, but this is the second time Lao students have experienced vivid 3D images and used Nhan Dan Newspaper's technology to experience printed newspaper products on their phones. Through the experience, they all hope that during their time studying in Vietnam, they will continue to experience more fields in this form.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), Nhan Dan Newspaper launched a media campaign to honor the heroic historical milestone of the Vietnamese people.

Lao officials studying Vietnamese at Son La College were very excited to experience the special supplement of Nhan Dan Newspaper.

One of the highlights that Nhan Dan Newspaper has implemented is a special exhibition arranged by Nhan Dan Newspaper right on the newspaper's campus, next to Hoan Kiem Lake, under the famous ancient banyan tree in the center of Hanoi Capital.

At the exhibition, in addition to displaying 11 front pages of Nhan Dan Newspaper published on April 30 from 1975 to 2020, Nhan Dan Newspaper also gave away free copies of a special supplement to readers on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification at the headquarters at 71 Hang Trong, permanent agencies and representative offices of Nhan Dan Newspaper nationwide.

This is the second time that Nhan Dan Newspaper has presented special publications to Lao officials and Lao students studying at colleges and universities in the area.

In Son La, in addition to giving special supplements of Nhan Dan Newspaper to cadres, party members, people, students, armed forces and schools, Nhan Dan Newspaper also gave this special publication to Lao ministries and Lao students studying at schools in Son La province, including Son La College.

Teacher Nguyen Xuan Thang, Vice Principal of Son La College, emphasized: Through direct experience with publications on the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Liberation, now the publication on the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification, followed by information through mass media and social platforms, we see that the way a printed newspaper under the Party's press agency works is very innovative and creative.

Since 2001, the school has received Vietnamese language training and specialized training for nearly 4,000 international students from 9 northern provinces of Laos. Currently, the school has 351 Lao officials and Lao students studying Vietnamese and specialized subjects at the school. In the future, we hope that Nhan Dan Newspaper will continue to cooperate with the school to spread special publications using digital technology on historical topics like this. Because not only Vietnamese students, but also Lao students are very excited and interested.

After the experience, Lao officials and Lao students studying in Son La all wish to continue learning about Vietnamese culture and history through special publications like this.

A special printed newspaper product with half a million copies published about the historical moment of the Vietnamese people on the Day of Southern Liberation and National Reunification has been attracting special attention from readers of all ages at home and abroad.

In Son La province in particular, and the whole country in general, this special publication is not only a bridge between tradition and innovation, a bridge to the sacred values ​​of peace, independence and unity, but also a bridge to help Lao friends love and understand more about the people, culture and history of the Vietnamese people, contributing to further tightening the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos, Laos and Vietnam forever green and sustainable.
