Recreating the heroic memories of the nation through the exhibition "Song of Unification" in Hanoi

NDO - On April 25, the opening ceremony of the art exhibition "Song of Reunification" took place at Thong Nhat Park, Hanoi. The exhibition was organized to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025) and the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Navy (May 7, 1955 - May 7, 2025).

The exhibition center is a 4m high, 45m long panel with enlarged prints of many lacquer and oil paintings and battlefield sketches by artists who participated in the resistance war such as: Huy Toan, Le Lam, Tran Huu Chat, Pham Ngoc Lieu, Phan Oanh...

In addition, the exhibition also displays works by artists born and raised in peace . Each work is a deep gratitude to the generation of fathers and brothers who fought for national independence.

Representative of the Exhibition Organizing Committee - painter Nguyen Thu Thuy shared: "Behind each work are touching stories of the author and the characters in the works they draw."

For example, the story of painter Le Lam, in 1966, he refused to study in the Soviet Union and volunteered to go to the southern battlefield to continue his painting work. Here, in 1967, he tried to find the character Tu Cao - the person who stopped enemy vehicles with his bare hands in Long An to sketch.

Painter Le Huy Toan considers himself lucky compared to his comrades because he was present at most of the important historical events of the country. “I paint war because I love peace,” he proudly said.

The exhibition displays three special works sent by two art collectors. They are the oil painting “ Dien Bien Phu in the Air” by artist Nguyen Thuan, and two lacquer paintings “Liberating Buon Ma Thuot” and “Tank crashing into the gate of Independence Palace” by artist Tran Huu Chat.

In addition, the work "Hello Vietnam, my homeland" by artist Ngo Ba Hoang also attracted much public attention. The painting is 1.8m high and 300m long, painted with acrylic material. A beautiful, peaceful and unified Vietnam has been meticulously depicted by the author, stretching from Lung Cu flagpole to Ca Mau cape, from the mountains to the plains and coastal areas.

"Each work of art displayed at the exhibition is not only the crystallization of the talent and dedication of talented artists, but also represents vivid slices of the nation's journey of building and protecting the country," said Nguyen Quang Hung, Deputy General Director of Bao Viet Life Corporation.
