'...This is a humane act that needs to be respected', is the opinion of reader Kha Tu.

Hundreds of readers continue to send comments on the symbolic project of united efforts to overcome COVID-19.

Many opinions hope that this place will be a "healing space", "a symbol of compassion", "Preserving the beautiful values of humanity", "So that we can go through that place and ask ourselves if we have lived differently?".

Commitment: Live kindly

Reader Ut Nhi said: Obviously, the COVID-19 memorial park is first and foremost for those who have passed away.

But more importantly, for those who live, so that we can go through that place and ask ourselves if we have lived differently? - really - during the pandemic, everyone promised to live slowly, be less greedy, less desirous of this and that, be kinder... But then some people forget.

Sharing the same opinion, Loan Nguyen wrote: "Let's live kindly, because we have known the pain of losing each other and the happiness of surviving together. Yes, I pledge this before the memorial and my heart."

Phan Thi Hanh also agreed. "I think so too: the idea of building a memorial is not just to 'have a place to remember, but to not be allowed to forget the loss, to forget the compassion that once made the strength of a city, of a nation".

"The project will be a constant reminder for everyone to appreciate their current life more and always preserve the beautiful values of humanity that have been awakened during the pandemic," reader Thanh Hoa shared.

Symbolic project of unanimity in overcoming COVID-19

Reader hdng****@gmail.com shared that he used to be in the control force at the city's gateway checkpoints and also had relatives who died from COVID-19.

Thinking back to that period, especially the peak of the epidemic in August, still makes me shiver. "The government's decision to use the prime land as a memorial was a decision that pleased the people", hdng****@gmail.com confirm.

Khanh Hoang said: "The fact that Ho Chi Minh City widely consulted the people shows respect and desire to build an eternal and meaningful spiritual symbol, not ostentatious but full of weight."

Nguyen Anh Minh shares the same opinion: "I deeply feel the meaning of a memorial park that not only preserves memories, but is also an "anchor of history" that helps people find peace and heal collective wounds.

It will be a place for families who have suffered loss to feel shared, and for the whole community to be more respectful and resilient. I truly hope that the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City will turn this meaningful idea into reality, so that gratitude and kindness can spread forever."

Reader Sam said: "The memorial has humanistic significance but the investment budget needs to be tightly managed."

Come to remember, to share, to bravely walk

"Go there to remember that day, to have more courage to move forward to the future. So that the next generation knows that there were difficult but heroic days.

There is pain, there is loss, but there is also silent and heroic sacrifice, there is compassion that overcomes all obstacles to save people.

Go there to remember, to share, to courageously move on. There, those who have experienced loss are shared that no one has forgotten, they are still in everyone's memory, and those who stay should courageously move on," is the opinion of reader ThuanDuc.
