(CLO) On December 19th, in Hanoi , the Vietnam Women's Museum, in collaboration with the "Forever 20" Club, organized the opening of the exhibition "Memories and Beliefs". The event displayed nearly 200 historical artifacts, helping the public to gain a deeper understanding of the arduous yet heroic struggle of the Vietnamese nation.
The event, aimed at commemorating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2024) and the 35th anniversary of the National Defense Day (December 22, 1989 - December 22, 2024), includes three main activities: a seminar titled "There Was a Time Like That"; a ceremony to receive war relics; and the opening of the exhibition "Memories and Beliefs".
At the seminar, among the four guests, three had directly participated in combat and served in the resistance war against the US to save the country.
Seminar "There was a time like that".
These include Ms. Hoang Thi Kim Vinh, former Youth Volunteer of Company 812, Capital Youth Volunteer Team N43, Ministry of Transport ; Mr. Nguyen Tien Lich, former Political Commissar of Company 2, D530, Regiment 5, Cat Bi Hero Unit; and Ms. Nguyen Thi Bao Hien, General Secretary of the Vietnam Veteran Entrepreneurs Association, Standing Vice President of the Vietnam Women Entrepreneurs Association, and Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Hien Le Group.
The fourth guest was Mr. Hoang Nam Tien, Vice Chairman of the FPT University Board of Directors - son of Major General Hoang Dan, former Director of the Military Science Department, Ministry of National Defense .
The public visits the exhibition space.
Memories of a passionate youth, stories of revolutionary ideals, the spirit of overcoming difficulties to serve the Fatherland, camaraderie and fellowship in war and peacetime... were shared with the audience by veterans and former youth volunteers in a deeply moving way. Continuing their family traditions and growing up in peacetime, their descendants continue to tell the story of patriotism and national pride through aspirations and efforts to excel in education and contribute to building a prosperous nation.
The exhibition "Memories and Beliefs," organized by the Vietnam Women's Museum, is based on valuable documents and artifacts collected over the past nearly 20 years. This is the result of trips across the country to meet and listen to the stories of historical witnesses and relatives of fallen heroes who perished on the battlefields of the past. The exhibition comprises three themes: "Ready to Go"; "Belief in Victory"; and "The Day of Return."
These are the artifacts on display at the exhibition.
Through nearly 200 images and original artifacts, including representative mementos such as: a volunteer enlistment application written in blood; a diary of a female soldier from the Truong Son Mountains about her journey to the battlefield and her years of service; a letter from a fallen soldier to his wife filled with longing and hope for reunion; or the harmonica that a soldier used to play the song "For the People, We Forget Ourselves" next to a time bomb to boost the morale of his comrades… viewers will be able to answer the question of why the small country of Vietnam was able to fight and win against enemies with such economic and military power.
Within the framework of the exhibition, the public can also participate in the "Letters to Loved Ones" experience, where people can write meaningful letters, conveying sincere feelings to their loved ones through letters with a distinct "wartime" style.
