Each page of the book fosters a sense of pride.

Each page of this book not only enriches knowledge but also nurtures the soul, evoking pride in national history in the hearts of the younger generation, especially during the historic month of April, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country.

These history books are on display at the National Library of Vietnam.

As April arrives, amidst the sacred atmosphere of historical days, the National Library of Vietnam becomes a meeting place for hearts that love knowledge and their roots. Among the crowds seeking books and the nation's memories, the stories told are not only reminders of the past, but also an invisible thread connecting generations. From a caring mother guiding her young daughter "through the pages of history," to young people striving to continue building the nation with knowledge and pride, each page of history is not just information, but a vivid memory, the heartbeat of countless generations who sacrificed, fought, and preserved the country.

Cultivating a love of history in young children.

Bringing her 4th-grade daughter to book-related events to directly listen to the stories and experiences of those serving in the armed forces, Ms. Pham Thi Phong Lan (a parent from Hanoi ) shared: “I want my daughter to understand that history books are the culmination of an entire generation that dedicated themselves and sacrificed to preserve and pass on this knowledge to future generations. I also believe that from these experiences, a flame will be ignited in her heart. She will understand that she is not just a student, but also a young sprout of the nation. Later, she will study, train, live, and build this country to become more beautiful, worthy of all the sacrifices our ancestors have made, continuing the faith entrusted through these books.”

For Nguyen Quynh Anh (19 years old, student), today's young generation always strives to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, continuing the national traditions, and in this, heroic books serve as a guiding light and an important companion on the path of development.

“Each page of a book opens a link between the previous and subsequent generations. Through it, I learn a lot of knowledge and gain a deeper appreciation for the glorious history that our ancestors shed sweat and blood for. For me, each page is a ‘living treasure,’ helping me feel the pain of the authors, observe the world they once traveled through, and expand the knowledge of the entire nation. As a student, I always strive to preserve and spread the culture of reading to those around me, applying the knowledge I acquire to develop myself and build the country…,” Nguyen Quynh Anh shared.

For 20-year-old student Ngo Hong Nhung, books are an inexhaustible resource, recording and preserving human events, knowledge, and experiences throughout history. In particular, history books act as a gateway to time, helping the younger generation visualize the arduous journey their ancestors undertook, thereby fostering national pride and enriching their thinking. Each page is a piece of the past, a precious spiritual gift that previous generations have bequeathed to future generations.

“When reading works like President Ho Chi Minh 's 'Prison Diary,' I feel the unwavering will, the indomitable spirit, and the courage of the man during those harsh months of imprisonment. It's not simply a personal story, but a microcosm of an entire resilient nation during the resistance war. These pages not only help us understand history better, but also awaken in each person a sense of patriotism, gratitude, and a desire to strive for progress. For me, books are 'treasures,' a silent teacher, nurturing the souls and intellects of countless generations.”

While music, theater, and film express direct emotions and feature staged visual effects, literature is the "art of whispering," of imagination and inner feeling. Reading a history book is not simply about receiving information, but a journey of recreating in the mind a time of national struggle, with indomitable and heroic figures fighting for the independence and freedom of the homeland... Lessons from the past, messages from previous generations, heroic examples… all are felt not only with reason, but also with the stirring of the heart. These pages of literature do not impose emotions, but grant the reader the right to imagine and feel in their own way.

As a writer in military uniform, Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Anh, Vice President of the Military Writers' Association, is honored and proud to accompany the nation's history through her books and literature. In her "spiritual children," she skillfully weaves in rich elements of life through experiences and encounters, along with the spirit of the times and the momentum of the swift and victorious army 50 years ago. For her, historical books, literary works, poems, and songs all hold significant value and meaning in the spiritual life of the people in general and the younger generation in particular.

“Before becoming a writer, I was also a young person, a student like other young people. Thanks to the writings of previous generations, I have understood a great deal about our nation's two tenacious and indomitable wars of resistance against French colonialism and American imperialism. Besides that, we also gained a great source of inspiration when we deeply understood and empathized with the value of the peace, independence, and development we have today… which were achieved through the sacrifices of countless generations of our ancestors,” Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Anh shared.

Lieutenant Colonel and writer Pham Van Anh shared stories about the heroic and fiery times of the nation with young people.

Lieutenant Colonel and writer Pham Van Anh also expressed her belief in the younger generation, urging them to immerse themselves in books about war, revolution, and soldiers, experiencing a world full of emotion through tragic yet proud stories. Only then will each young person see the beauty of ideals, courage, and the unwavering qualities of the soldiers of the Vietnam People's Army…

“Young people today are equipped with a vast amount of knowledge, approaching various forms of literature, art, and film from around the world, ready to enter the globalized world. But I believe that for everyone, the foundation of the nation, the foundation of love for the country, will always provide great inspiration. Especially when the red flag with a yellow star is always in our hearts, we will have a solid foundation to pursue success wherever we are…,” Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Anh said.
