The sacred color of the national flag on the streets of the capital

In the autumn days of August, together with the people of the whole country, we joyfully celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day, September 2nd, the day when the whole nation is filled with enthusiasm and competition to celebrate Independence Day. In the suburbs and suburbs of Hanoi, in the small alleys, the image of the Party flag and the National flag fluttering, a testament to change, happiness and peace.

Mr. Dang Tien Trung, Head of Inter-family Group 5A, living on Lam Ha Street, Bo De Ward, Hanoi City, said that, starting from the movement of hanging the national flag during holidays, Tet and important days of the nation; towards the 80th anniversary of National Day September 2 this year, Mr. Trung initiated the whole alley 77, Lam Ha Street to hang the national flag, flags along the alley. That idea was responded by the people in Inter-family Group 5A and in just half a day, the small alley was covered in a fresh red color in the golden sunlight.

Not only in Lane 77 Lam Ha Street, Bo De Ward, on this occasion, when walking on the streets of the Capital, we always see the national flag everywhere. Many places such as Lan Ong Street, Luong Van Can, Hang Ma Street... Hoan Kiem Ward are everywhere bright with red and yellow stars.

Ms. Nguyen Thuy Quynh, who lives on Lan Ong Street, Hoan Kiem Ward, shared: The red flag with a yellow star has always been a sacred symbol, representing the national pride and indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people. Every time we see the red flag with a yellow star flying, we are reminded of the heroic history of the nation. The red color of the flag symbolizes the blood of generations of ancestors who fell to gain independence and freedom for the Fatherland. It is the color of resounding victories, from the Dien Bien Phu campaign that "resounded throughout the five continents and shook the earth" to the great victory in the spring of 1975, bringing the country to unification and unification.

From the main streets to the tourist attractions of Hanoi, everywhere is filled with the red color of the national flag.

The national flag is hung at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square.

Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, who lives on Kim Ma Street, sat watching the parade, marching on the street after the general training session on the evening of August 21, sharing: “I used to be a soldier, stepping out of the war to protect the Fatherland in 1975. How could I not be happy when witnessing the fluttering military flag with the five-pointed yellow star shining on the flag, symbolizing the unity and solidarity of all Vietnamese people. Seeing that yellow star, I appreciate even more the value of peace, independence and freedom that we are enjoying today.”

Today, from the lowlands to the highlands, from the deltas to the islands, the national flag is not only a symbol of the glorious past but also a powerful source of motivation to build a bright future. When the flag flies in every street, it reminds every citizen of their patriotism and responsibility.

On many main streets such as Nguyen Thai Hoc, Chu Van An, Doc Lap, Hoang Dieu, Hung Vuong, Dinh Tien Hoang, Thanh Nien, Dien Bien Phu, Trang Tien, Hang Ma... are all bright red with flags, banners, slogans, propaganda paintings, and large billboards.

In Ba Dinh Square and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, flags and flowers were hung to create a joyful atmosphere to celebrate the Great National Day.

From the elderly to the children rejoice in the joy of Independence.

Every Vietnamese child who is proud of the national flag is proud of a resilient, indomitable, benevolent and always rising nation. It is the belief in a bright future, in a country that is increasingly developing, prosperous and standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers.

Hanging the national flag on major holidays, especially on the occasion of National Day September 2, has become a beautiful cultural feature, expressing the patriotism and national pride of the Vietnamese people. Wherever it is, from big streets to small alleys, the image of the red flag with yellow star fluttering always evokes sacred and profound meanings.
