In this program, the "earth-shattering" events of 1954 are recounted through the eyes of their descendants.

These could be famous figures, and some stories might be being published for the first time. There are also accounts from military researchers and soldiers from the other side of the battlefield.

My grandfather was a soldier at Dien Bien Phu, and the story begins with Lieutenant General Pham Hong Son - the creator of the famous encirclement and annihilation tactics.

When the enemy soldiers were captured, they asked Mr. Son, "Where did you learn to fight so well?" He replied, "I was just a student at the Indochina Law School, tempered by war," and "our greatest school is the school of patriotism."

During the program, his son also recounted his father's message to future generations.

In the latest episode on April 13th, the program featured the descendants of combat engineer Lưu Viết Thoảng, the commander who dug the tunnel to transport 960kg of explosives on Hill A1.

His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren went to Dien Bien Phu to visit the battlefield where their father and grandfather fought, and they were "beyond imagination."

This documentary series, produced by VTV, commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory. To date, the program has aired four episodes.
