On the evening of August 26, Editor Hoai Anh (VTV) shared meaningful moments from the second rehearsal for the 80th National Day Celebration.

"The bright smiles of the VTV crew despite working hard day and night, staying at the square for many days to choose the best filming angle," Editor Hoai Anh confided about the tireless work ethic of her colleagues.

What impressed Editor Hoai Anh the most was the attitude of the leaders and members of the commentary team, both majestic and serious in the inherent image of soldiers, and very friendly, full of care and closeness to an 'outsider' like her.

The preparation schedule of the commentary team is very tight: gathering early in the morning, practicing their voices all morning, having lunch together, then being present at the square from early afternoon and "locking in" until the end of the rehearsal. "A long day of preparation, sometimes feeling sleepy but when I get home late at night, I can't sleep anymore", Editor Hoai Anh confided about the feeling of nervousness and excitement before the big event.

Another beautiful image is the resilience of the officers and soldiers on guard duty. "It sometimes rained heavily but the soldiers still kept their positions...", she wrote. Despite the unfavorable weather, the soldiers remained steadfast at the roads, guard posts and the Mausoleum area, demonstrating their sense of responsibility and respect for President Ho Chi Minh .

What touched Editor Hoai Anh was the awareness of people lining up in a straight line to enter the Mausoleum area. Faced with negative images online of jostling, pushing and littering, she appreciated the orderly image in the Mausoleum area even more when people walked gently and in order, "probably afraid of disturbing Uncle Ho's sleep".

Editor Hoai Anh hopes the rain will be less heavy, people will be more tolerant and happy with each other, so that the common hardships of the training day can be lessened.

The grand ceremony to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam took place solemnly at Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi , on the morning of September 2, 2025, starting at 6:30 a.m.
