Warmth during treatment days

At Da Nang Oncology Hospital, even while undergoing chemotherapy, many patients still brought their IV stands so they wouldn't miss the movie screening.

The thoughtfully prepared popcorn and drinks made the hall feel cozy, like a mini movie theater. Laughter and conversation helped to alleviate the heavy atmosphere that often prevails in hospitals.

Among those special viewers was Mr. Nguyen Sy Huynh (69 years old, from Nghe An province), a veteran who served 12 years in the army and fought for 10 years in the Cambodian battlefield. When images of soldiers appeared on the screen, his eyes welled up with tears.

“I saw myself and my comrades from the past. The footage made me relive my glorious youth. Watching the film right here in the hospital was something I never thought possible, and it gave me more determination to overcome my illness,” Mr. Huynh shared.

During those poignant moments, at the Da Nang City Traditional Medicine Hospital, veteran Le Thi Loan (79 years old, Hoa Xuan ward) could not hide her emotions. The film evoked memories of the Binh-Tri-Thien battlefield, where she and her comrades had endured countless hardships and losses.

“The images of those who fell keep coming back to my mind. The film reminds me that such sacrifices are always appreciated,” Mrs. Loan said, her voice choked with emotion. Leaving the screening room, she felt more motivated to continue her treatment.

At Da Nang Hospital, Mr. NVH (born in 1950, Thang An commune), a former soldier of the La Ee Border Guard Post, was receiving treatment in the Geriatrics Department and was overcome with emotion. "I remember my comrades, I remember those who sacrificed themselves so that our country could have peace today," he expressed, and thanked the hospital for organizing this humane activity.

Creating a compassionate treatment environment.

The film screening program clearly reflects the comprehensive care efforts for patients by medical facilities in the city. According to Dr. Phan Vinh Sinh, Deputy Director of Da Nang Oncology Hospital, the screening of the film "Red Rain" is part of a series of programs to care for the mental health of patients that the hospital has maintained over the past time.

"We hope that after watching the film, patients will have more motivation to overcome their illnesses. At the same time, healthcare workers, especially young people, will gain a better understanding of the country's history and national pride," said Dr. Sinh.

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Trung, Deputy Director of Da Nang Hospital, said that the program not only pays tribute to veterans currently undergoing treatment but also serves as an opportunity to educate young doctors and medical staff about traditions.

"Da Nang Hospital is committed not only to healthcare but also to improving the mental well-being of patients, building a compassionate, warm, and humane treatment environment," Dr. Trung affirmed.

Sharing the same view, Dr. Nguyen The Truyen, Deputy Director of the Traditional Medicine Hospital of Da Nang City, believes that the greatest value of the film screening commemorating the 81st anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army lies in the emotional impact it evokes from the glorious pages of history.

Dr. Truyen expressed: "These emotions remind every healthcare worker of their professional responsibility, the ethics of a physician, and the spirit of unwavering dedication to the well-being of patients."

In addition to organizing film screenings, hospitals in the city plan to continue maintaining many meaningful cultural and spiritual activities. Because patients need not only medicine but also need to be understood, listened to, and given renewed hope to confidently overcome the tiring days of treatment.

"Red Rain" - A tragic era of war and fire.

"Red Rain" is a feature film about the revolutionary war, written by author Chu Lai and directed by Meritorious Artist Dang Thai Huyen.

Inspired by and fictionalized from the 81-day and 81-night defense of Quang Tri Citadel in 1972, the film profoundly portrays the indomitable fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Vietnam People's Army and the people of Quang Tri - people who, at the age of twenty, used their youth as shields and shed their blood to write a tragic epic amidst the fiery summer in Central Vietnam.

The battle was not confined to the Citadel front but extended to the negotiating table at the Paris Conference – where Vietnam's courage and wisdom continued to prevail on the diplomatic front.

It was the spirit of fighting to the death under the rain of bombs, not to win a battle, but to write a story of peace and independence, that marked the turning point for the Great Victory of Spring 1975, liberating the South and unifying the country.

Throughout the film are scenes that are both brutal and humane – where camaraderie and fellowship ignite in the darkness of war; where family love and romantic love still shine brightly amidst bombs and bullets.
