The “Continue the Peace Story” Effect

Not stopping at a hit song attracting billions of views and listens, "Continuing the story of peace " by musician Nguyen Van Chung also has a strong effect in the community with its extended stories...

Some schools have included the lyrics of “Continuing the Peace Story” in their literature essay exams. Social networks have also spread mature and responsible writings and thoughts of many young people - people living in peace - from this “trend”.

When the song becomes an exam question

“Please analyze a current issue that interests you”. With this test, a student of the Literature class, Bac Lieu University expressed his thoughts on the “phenomenon” of the song “Continuing the story of peace”: “I remember every word in the song “Continuing the story of peace” by musician Nguyen Van Chung, which was performed at the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country, and then spread very strongly through social networks. Even before listening to the song, I knew that the contributions of the previous generation were immense for us to have a peaceful and happy life like today; but the song with lyrics like “ Our ancestors fell down so that our future generations could exchange for peace ” once again created special emotions, reminding every young person today to know how to live a life worthy of those sacrifices...”.

One of the songs performed at the country’s major event has become a “current issue” that this student is interested in. And like you, there are many feelings with a sense of responsibility, pride and through that, self-reflecting on their own responsibilities towards their country. Showing that the young generation has never been indifferent to the heroic tradition of their nation.

The 12th grade quality assessment exam of another high school was also spread on social networks and received many compliments because the person who wrote the exam joined this current event. The exam question was as follows: In the song "Continuing the story of peace", musician Nguyen Van Chung wrote: "Our ancestors fell so that our future generations could exchange for peace". From your own perspective, please write an essay discussing what needs to be done to "continue the story of peace".

A song included in the exam is also the most practicaleducational method for young people to feel what patriotism is, preserve the nation's fine traditions and spread the most sacred things.

Patriotism and national pride are the “precious materials” for young people to continue writing the story of peace. In the photo: Students of Vo Thi Sau Secondary School and members of the Youth Union listen to an introduction to the Great Prison Stele relic in Ward 3 (Bac Lieu City). Photo: HT

What to do to “Continue the story of peace”

“ Grateful to the soldiers who forgot their own feelings, forgot themselves/ Flowing in their hearts a hot blood, the blood of Lac Hong ” - as a reminder of the glorious past so that today's generation can realize their responsibility in the present. Peace - the achievement exchanged with the blood and bones of many previous generations will continue to write beautiful pages when people live compassionately, know how to share, respect each other to build a peaceful living environment. Those are the common feelings of many young people when asked "what should today's generation do to continue writing the story of peace?".

What does “continuing the story of peace” mean and what do we do? The first thing that everyone can do is to nurture the spirit of patriotism and solidarity together. Patriotism through the smallest actions. An elementary school student, when telling a story about Uncle Ho, knows how to be moved, or tells about young heroes like Le Van Tam, Vo Thi Sau... knows how to draw out the promise to study well, work well to be worthy of their sacrifices... that is the foundation of patriotism. Patriotism is contributing to building a strong country from the smallest things: studying, working hard, living honestly and responsibly. When each citizen is aware of his or her role in society, the country will be more stable, the Fatherland will not be easily divided by hostile forces. Or small actions such as joining hands to fight against school violence, sharing, supporting the disadvantaged are also contributing small bricks to build the foundation of a peaceful and humane life.

Besides, spreading historical lessons, stories of compassion, kindness; fighting against extremist and toxic ideologies... through social networks and media is also another angle to continue writing the story of peace through sustainable development.

Respecting, preserving and promoting the value of peace, every positive thought and action of today's generation is a stroke to continue writing the story of peace - the priceless gift that previous generations left us.
