Associate Professor, Doctor, writer Nguyen The Ky and Doctor, People's Artist, Director Trieu Trung Kien talk to the press about the play "From Viet Bac to Hanoi".

Part III of the play “From Viet Bac to Hanoi” depicts the image of Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh after 30 years of searching for a way to save the country, encountering the light of Marxism - Leninism, founding the Communist Party of Vietnam and on January 28, 1941, he returned to the Fatherland, directly leading the Vietnamese revolution. The content of the play is basically faithful to the novel. Dr. People's Artist, director Trieu Trung Kien remains consistent with the chronicle narrative style of the novel, proactively creating a story line in the play that flows in a linear time order. The real-life context of the play part 3 “From Viet Bac to Hanoi” is compressed from 1941-1945, where the Vietnamese revolution, although seemingly quiet on the outside, is seething inside, waiting for the opportunity to erupt into a big storm...

The press conference was attended by reporters from press agencies.

Artists on the play "From Viet Bac to Hanoi".

“The image of Ho Chi Minh is always filled with boundless patriotism and love for the people; a sincere and profound spirit of national solidarity; his highest principles are independence and freedom for the nation; happiness, democracy, and prosperity for the people; his revolutionary method and thinking is “to respond to all changes with the unchanging”, absolutely not dogmatic or mechanical; his morality is “to put public service first”, “to be impartial and selfless”, to sacrifice oneself for the Fatherland and for the people. Those thoughts, qualities, ethics, and styles are expressed through specific, practical actions, often quiet and humble, expressed by him through the poems in “Prison Diary”, said director Trieu Trung Kien.

In the play, artist Van Thuan will play the role of Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh; Minh Hai will play the role of Nguyen Tat Thanh; People's Artist Manh Hung will play the role of Vice-Chancellor Nguyen Sinh Sac; Nhu Quynh will play the role of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan; Ngan Ha will play the role of Ut Hue (Le Thi Hue); Bui Anh Tuan will play the role of Phung Chi Kien...
