On the roof of the Independence Palace, the flag of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam was proudly raised high by a soldier, fluttering in the wind. "The flag is half red and half blue/ The red of the earth, the blue of the sky" (poem by To Huu) symbolizes pride, peace and independence regained after many years of arduous fighting.

Below the painting is a prominent line of text: "North - South, one family April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025". The line is both a reminder and an affirmation of the country's unification - an unforgettable milestone in the hearts of every Vietnamese person.
