'Forever a pure heart - Sharp pen': Art program honoring journalism

On the evening of June 20, at the Hanoi Opera House, the special art program "Forever a red heart - Sharp pen" took place in a solemn and emotional atmosphere, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025).
The program is chaired by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in coordination with press and art agencies.

In his opening speech, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung affirmed that 100 years is the journey for a pen to become a symbol of dedication, honesty and responsibility. Since the Thanh Nien newspaper founded by President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has always accompanied the nation in every historical period.

He emphasized that the press is the vanguard force on the ideological and cultural front, "the one who goes first to pave the way, goes along to carry out, and comes after to summarize."

At the event, the audience relived heroic and emotional moments in a century-long journey of journalism.

The program is divided into 4 chapters, recreating the history of the development of revolutionary journalism through music, dance, documentary images and new works such as " The torch lights the way," "Proud of my journalism profession," "Like a nameless flower," "Continuing the story of peace" ...

The program conveys a strong message: Today's journalists not only report news but also lead public opinion, spreading the values of truth, goodness and beauty in the context of information explosion.

In the digital age, the press must be more steadfast, maintain professional ethics, master technology, and continue to be a reliable support for the people.

With the participation of many famous artists such as Quoc Hung, Trong Tan, Thu Hang, along with dance groups and choirs, the program is not only a deep gratitude to journalists, but also an artistic epic connecting the past, present and future of Vietnam's revolutionary journalism./.
