Laotian and Cambodian students get to see 'Peach, Pho and Piano' for free in Ho Chi Minh City

On the evening of February 29th, information from the Vietnam-Laos Friendship Association in Ho Chi Minh City indicated that the organization, in collaboration with the Cinestar Hai Ba Trung cinema complex, would be holding a free screening of the film "Peach, Pho and Piano" for Lao and Cambodian students studying in Ho Chi Minh City at 7 PM on March 1st.

According to the organizers, the selection of the film "Peach, Pho, and Piano" aims to provide Lao and Cambodian students with an opportunity to learn about the history of the Vietnamese people and army's struggle for national liberation and defense during the resistance war against the French.

This helps to showcase the positive image of the Vietnamese people and strengthen the bond and affection between Lao and Cambodian students and their Vietnamese host families.

The Lao Student Dormitory Association in Ho Chi Minh City will be responsible for implementing the program.

Peach, Pho, and Piano is being hailed as an unprecedented box office phenomenon in Vietnamese cinema. The film has received widespread support from audiences nationwide, especially young people interested in history. Released on February 10th (the first day of Lunar New Year), by February 27th, the state-commissioned film had surpassed 4 billion VND in revenue (according to Box Office Vietnam).

The film tells the love story of a self-defense fighter (played by Doan Quoc Dam) and a wealthy young woman from Hanoi (played by Cao Thuy Linh). The film also features renowned actors such as People's Artist Trung Hieu, People's Artist Tran Luc, actor Anh Tuan, and singer Tuan Hung...

Marketing and communications expert Le Quoc Vinh shared: " Before 'Pho and Piano,' we had many good films, even many that won international awards. These were films that were both political and propaganda, as well as having high artistic value. However, these films only reached a certain audience."

The fact that Dao, pho, and piano became known and caused a media sensation could be called luck .
