On this occasion, at the Youth Cultural House, an exchange program with historical witnesses was also held. At the exchange, Hero of the Armed Forces Nguyen Van Tau (alias Tu Cang), although 98 years old, still clearly remembered the historic April days in Ho Chi Minh City 50 years ago.
It is a touching story about the sacrifice of 52 soldiers protecting Rach Chiec bridge a few days before the country's reunification; the memory of the historic April 30th, when President Duong Van Minh spoke to the Americans, before surrendering to the liberation army.
Mr. Pham Chanh Truc, former Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, former Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, and Head of the City Youth Union's Traditional Club, told about the days after liberation. Young people poured into the streets to do volunteer work such as directing traffic, cleaning up, removing ruins, etc. He said that this was the first sign of the volunteer movement, the precursor to the youth volunteer force. He also told about the journey of establishing Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, the first export processing zone in the country, marking a turning point in economic cooperation with the international community./.
