On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh City Literature and Arts (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), on the morning of October 25, at the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House, the program "Meeting of artists who grew up from the movement of the City Children's House system" took place. This is a warm occasion for artists to return to the home that nurtured and nurtured their passion for art.

Ho Chi Minh City Children's House, a place to nurture artistic talent

Many famous artists of Ho Chi Minh City today were once young buds nurtured by the city’s children’s art movements. They carried the passion from their early days to continue their journey of dedication to the country’s art.

Since the country's reunification, the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House (formerly the City Children's Palace) has become the largest children's cultural and artistic center in the country. This place not only helps children practice skills and discover their talents, but also instills in children's souls a love for art and their homeland, Vietnam.

From clubs such as: Music and Dance, Fine Arts, Theater, Puppetry, Aerobics, Vocal Music,... thousands of children have been trained in a disciplined but equally creative and inspiring environment.

The children of that day have now become prominent faces in the art world as artists, directors, choreographers, musicians and MCs, affirming their success on the path they have chosen.

Paying tribute to the children of Ho Chi Minh City Children's House

In the warm atmosphere of the program "Meeting of artists who have grown up and bonded with the movement of the City Children's House system (1975 - 2025)", many familiar faces in the art world gathered. They sat together, talking about their childhood journey and the starting point of their big dreams.

The performances were staged grandly to welcome the "Meeting of artists who grew up from the movement of the City Children's House system"

On stage, each shared word was sent to the audience, recreating "the first steps in a great journey". Memories flooded back with the image of the small stage located in the grounds of the City Children's House, where they first held the microphone and sang, where the first applause from the audience gave them strength.

Summer performances, competitions such as "Singing to celebrate the country", "Melody of youth" or activities in the movement "Childhood art", "Young singing voice" are not only carefree playgrounds but also the first classrooms in life, where they learn to stand firm, be confident and love their profession with all their heart.

The artists could not hide their emotions when recalling the days of practicing with the dedicated teachers at the Children's House. Those teachers not only imparted techniques, but also instilled in their students the will to work seriously in the arts. From them, the younger generation has realized that art is not just about the glittering halo on stage but also about sweat, perseverance and the desire to reach far from the most ordinary things.

Nearly half a century has passed, the art movement at the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House has become a beautiful mark of the city named after Uncle Ho, where humanistic values ​​are nurtured, nurtured and spread. From the hidden young talents of the past, they have now grown up and become artists with singing, dancing, lyrics, drawings... to serve the public, contributing to enriching the spiritual life of society.

Meritorious Artist Thanh Loc is loved by veteran cadres of the Children's House, who still see him as a former young member of the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House.

More than their achievements, they always keep a deep pride in the place that inspired their passion for art. The first days of practicing music, dancing or painting here were all created with love, responsibility and pure dreams of childhood.

From that nurturing environment, artistic and humanistic values ​​have gradually spread and permeated the cultural life of the city, contributing to creating an artistic appearance that is both fresh and full of identity.

Until today, the children who grew up under that common roof with pride and deep emotions are still continuing the mission of "Continuing dreams" so that the journey of dedication and artistic creation never stops.

Where the children of art return

The program has become an emotional meeting place for many generations of artists. This is an opportunity to meet and a journey back to memory, where their innocent childhood years are kept. Those are the days of taking their first steps with the first notes of music, the shy dance moves or the awkward roles.

Now that they have become famous, they return to express their gratitude to their teachers and their old home that has fueled their artistic dreams since childhood. At the same time, together they continue to write a beautiful story of gratitude and the spirit of continuity between generations of artists.

"We will forever be grateful to the teachers who have guided and nurtured the young generation to grow up and contribute to the country's literature and arts" - artist Huu Nghia said.
