Students in Ha Tinh review history through the film "The Scent of Burning Grass".

With its content reflecting the heroic struggle of Uncle Ho's soldiers, the film "The Scent of Burning Grass" has helped the younger generation of Ha Tinh province to recall the glorious revolutionary struggle tradition of the nation.

On the afternoon of December 4th, the Ha Tinh Provincial Cultural and Film Center, in collaboration with Huong Khe High School, organized a screening of the film "The Scent of Burning Grass". This program is part of a series of activities commemorating the 79th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2023) and the 34th anniversary of the National Defense Day (December 22, 1989 - December 22, 2023).

The screening of the film "The Scent of Burning Grass" was attended by more than 600 students and teachers from Huong Khe High School.

The film "The Scent of Burning Grass" is based on the diary "Forever Twenty" by Martyr Nguyen Van Thac. The film realistically and vividly recreates the 81-day and 81-night battle to defend the Quang Tri citadel in 1972 by our army and people.

The film presents realistic portrayals of war and the image of ordinary, relatable, yet incredibly resilient soldiers. They are young men in their late teens and early twenties, full of dreams and aspirations, but who, answering the sacred call of the Fatherland, volunteered to go to war, fighting bravely and sacrificing themselves for peace and national independence...
