Spreading faith and hope.

Participating in the National Mobile Propaganda Festival to celebrate the successful conclusion of the 14th National Congress of the Party, the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and deputies to People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term, the Can Tho City Cultural and Arts Center presented a unique artistic program rich in ideology and aesthetics. Through each performance, the image of the Western Capital region was depicted with dynamism and compassion, spreading faith and hope for the future of the country.

The traditional song "The Torch of Faith" (by author Lam Huu Tang) is performed by Le Duy and Ngan Huyen.

The program submitted by Can Tho City included five independent performances. “Radiant Vietnam – The Party’s Will, the People’s Hearts” was a meticulously staged song and dance performance with a modern and dignified style. The performance praised the beauty of the homeland and evoked national pride, honoring the tradition of unity and resilience of the Vietnamese people. The traditional song “The Torch of Faith” (by Lam Huu Tang), performed by Le Duy and Ngan Huyen, featured poignant verses depicting President Ho Chi Minh as a guiding light, leading the Vietnamese people through difficult times to achieve independence and freedom.

The highlight of the program was the solo dance performance "The Era of Rising Up," with music by Hoang Trung and choreography by Meritorious Artist Phuong Lich and Bich Ngoc. With three distinct and concise stages: Origins - Transformation - Breakthrough, the performance opens with images of the rice-farming civilization with conical hats, baskets, straw, and rice, progressing to the peak of industrialization with the appearance of gears and wrenches, powerful and decisive movements, and a breakthrough with an image of rising up and asserting itself. Modern lighting, artistic movements, and professional music made the performance a must-see.

The remaining two performances, "Song of the New Era" (Xuan Phap - Van Hiep) and "Singing About Today's City - Can Tho, the City of Young Hope," were like proud symphony pieces about the land of Tay Do. The image of Can Tho emerged with its modern constructions, dynamic pace of life, and unwavering aspiration for progress, all perfectly conveyed.

It is evident that Can Tho City's art program at this festival was meticulously prepared in both content and form. From music, dance, and theatrical performances to stage design, everything demonstrated seriousness, professionalism, and dedication. More importantly, the program showcased the city's commitment to the cultural and artistic fields as a solid spiritual foundation.

From stirring melodies to expressive dances, from historical memories to aspirations for the future – all blend together, spreading faith and hope. It is faith in the leadership of the Party, faith in the strength of the people's unity, and faith in a Vietnam steadily entering a new era of development.
