On the evening of June 19 at the Vietnam - Soviet Union Friendship Cultural Palace, Hanoi , on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025), the art and political program Vietnam Revolutionary Press - 100 years of glory and responsibility brought a moving artistic journey, recreating the century-long journey of the country's revolutionary press.

A century of revolutionary journalism is recreated through 4 stages: Birth, Growth, Development and New Era . Without much commentary, the program is led by what happened: From the time Thanh Nien newspaper was born in 1925 under the founding of President Ho Chi Minh , to the role of the press in the August Revolution, the resistance period, nation building and the integration process.
Interspersed are newly made documentary and reportage footage along with songs associated with each historical period: Len Dang, Du Kich Song Thao, Tien Ve Thu Do, Dat Nuoc Tron Niep Vui, Tam Su Nguoi Lam Bao, or Mot Vong Viet Nam - a song with a modern, optimistic tone performed by Meritorious Artist Dang Duong, Vo Ha Tram, Dong Hung and Huong Tram.

The performance of the Oplus group with the song "Tien Quan Ca" created an emotional moment, when the whole audience sang in unison in national pride (Photo: Organizing Committee).
Besides, artists such as Duc Tuan, Oplus group... and Hanoi Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Mai Xuan Hai also brought many emotional performances.
In particular, the performance of Tien Quan Ca by the Oplus group made the entire audience stand up and sing in unison in a solemn and emotional atmosphere. Immediately after, Hello Vietnam by Huong Tram and Tam su nguoi lam bao by Duc Tuan continued to receive enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Notably, the re-enactment of the jingles that were once familiar to millions of Vietnamese people: From the familiar introduction "This is the Voice of Vietnam, broadcasting from Hanoi, Capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam" to the opening sounds of the News, Sunday Arts, Small Flowers programs...
For many audiences of the 7X and 8X generations, those sounds are vivid memories of a time spent with the radio and black-and-white television. Every time the melody rang out, the entire auditorium seemed to fall silent, followed by applause, both nostalgic and respectful.

Not only a performance event, the program is also an opportunity to honor journalists who have held pens amid bombs and bullets, or silently devoted themselves to ideological battles.
Conversation with journalist Pham Viet Long, former Chief of Office of the Ministry of Culture and Information, former reporter of Liberation News Agency and journalist Tran Mai Huong, former General Director of Vietnam News Agency.
The program also mentioned new challenges for Vietnamese journalism in the digital age, from the information explosion, social media competition, to the influence of artificial intelligence. But despite the change in tools, the core values of journalism: Honesty, dedication, and humanity must still be the fulcrum.
