"Today, we - young artists from Ho Chi Minh City - are present at the Gia Lai Province Martyrs' Cemetery, on the journey "Following the Footsteps of the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising". We come here with all our gratitude, respect and deep emotion. Before more than 3,600 graves - named and unnamed - we bow our heads and offer incense in memory. Although you are no longer physically present, the spirit of the heroic martyrs still silently supports the earth and sky, still present in every breath of our homeland today.

Half a century has passed since the country was reunited, the country has revived, renewed and constantly strived forward. But in the hearts of every Vietnamese, the memories of the years of arduous fighting, the immeasurable losses, are still a flame that burns forever - lighting up pride and the will to continue for the next generation."
Musician Tran Xuan Mai Tram emphasized that for the young generation of artists who are following in the footsteps of the city's beloved Uncle Ho's cultural and artistic front, and those working in the cultural and artistic fields, that sacrifice is not only history to remember, but also material for creativity, an endless source of inspiration to continue writing heroic epics in music , painting, poetry, theater and cinema.
Musician Mai Tram diligently creates special reportage clips and MVs for the journey back to the source.
"We believe that true art is a place where emotions and ideals converge, a strong bond connecting generations of Vietnamese people, a language of patriotism and the desire for peace . Every melody written, every image portrayed, carries the breath of history and the soul of the nation" - she emotionally emphasized.
For musician Tran Xuan Mai Tram, creating art today is not only a responsibility to beauty, but also a responsibility to the Fatherland. Making art is also a way to preserve the country - with intelligence, with cultural identity, and with a heart that always turns towards the people, towards history, towards the future. She promises to continuously learn, practice and work with all seriousness and passion, to contribute to creating works of depth, with widespread value - worthy of the sacrifice of her compatriots, comrades, and those who have fallen for the country's longevity.
