She was especially impressed by the Vietnamese singers and artists singing songs about Laos very well and emotionally, and wished the solidarity between Laos and Vietnam to become more and more close and strong.
For Ms. Bouppha Onemani, a Lao veteran who worked in the Samnuea liberated zone, Houaphanh province, the performance brought her many special emotions. She recalled the difficult years when she shared the joys and sorrows with Vietnamese soldiers and volunteers on the battlefield, a time when the Lao-Vietnamese solidarity was tested and forged with blood, sweat and sacrifice. When listening to the songs praising the Lao-Vietnamese friendship and seeing the elaborate stage set, Ms. Bouppha could not hide her emotions. The melodies seemed to bring her back to the memories of a time of war, a time when the two nations always stood side by side, fighting together for independence and a bright future for each country. According to her, the art program is not only a performance night, but also a meaningful reminder of the special tradition of solidarity between Laos and Vietnam and that loyal affection has been, is and will continue to be the foundation for the two countries to support and help each other in every stage of development.
