To have today, millions of outstanding children have fallen for the Fatherland to "bloom with independence, bear fruit with freedom". Responding to that great sacrifice not only with words, but also with concrete actions is the responsibility of each of us, of the entire political system and the whole society.

Implementing the direction of General Secretary To Lam and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on promoting the work of "Repaying gratitude" and preserving traditional ethics, in recent times, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has carried out many practical tasks, contributing to strongly spreading the spirit of gratitude throughout society.

Specifically, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has directed and coordinated the organization of many cultural and artistic activities and events from the central to the grassroots levels, especially in revolutionary bases, red addresses, and martyrs' cemeteries. In addition, it has also combined with gratitude to those who have contributed to the revolution, war invalids, sick soldiers, and policy families across the country.

Revolutionary historical sites, martyrs’ cemeteries, and works honoring heroic martyrs nationwide continue to be preserved and restored. Creatively invested works of cinema, theater, fine arts, photography, literature, etc. have vividly portrayed the images of soldiers, mothers, and Vietnamese people in war and peace. Contributing to educating the tradition of patriotism, fostering national pride among all classes of people, especially the younger generation.

According to the Deputy Minister, culture and art are not only a means of creativity, but also a language of gratitude. The special art program "Immortal Epic" with the theme "Lullaby of the Country" is an epic filled with humanity, connecting national memories with the present, arousing gratitude and pride in the hearts of every Vietnamese person.

"Lullaby of the Country" is a symbolic image of the silent and great sacrifice of Vietnamese mothers - those who saw their husbands and children off to the battlefield in tears, and then turned that love into an immortal flame for the nation. It is also the lullaby of the motherland for the immortal heroes, for today's generation to live a worthy life, to live with faith, ideals and responsibility.

At the same time, it conveys a message of gratitude as a source of continuity and strength to build the future.

Accordingly, with 3 chapters: "Lullaby in the storm"; "Lullaby of the country"; "Lullaby of peace continues the dreams", the program brought viewers back to the arduous but heroic years of the nation.
