The song was chosen as the National Anthem of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1946. To this day, the song has accompanied the Vietnamese people throughout the struggle for independence and national unification as well as in times of peace, development and defense of the Fatherland, and has been performed by many generations of singers at important events.
