In the atmosphere of national pride celebrating the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution (August 19, 1945 – August 19, 2025) and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025), with the approval of the Hanoi City Party Committee, on August 27, Hanoi Moi Newspaper organized a photo exhibition with the theme "Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2 – Continuing to Write Glorious Pages of History" at the newspaper's headquarters (44 Le Thai To Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi).
Attending the opening ceremony were Ms. Trinh Thi Lan, Head of the Press and Publishing Department (Hanoi City Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department); Mr. Kieu Thanh Hung, Standing Vice President of the Hanoi Journalists Association; and Ms. La Thi Duyen, Deputy Director of the National Archives Center III - the co-organizer of the photo exhibition.
Representing Hanoi Moi Newspaper were Party Secretary and Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Minh Duc; and Deputy Editors-in-Chief Mai Thi Kim Thoa and Lai Ba Ha.
The spirit of the historic August Revolution captured in these photographs.
In his opening remarks, journalist Nguyen Minh Duc, Secretary of the Party Committee and Editor-in-Chief of Hanoi Moi Newspaper, emphasized that the photo exhibition "Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2nd – Continuing the Glorious Chapters of History" is a meaningful activity aimed at widely disseminating and educating about the significance and contemporary relevance of the August Revolution and the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam – now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
This is also an opportunity for each of us to reflect on the fervent patriotic tradition, the spirit of national unity, and the aspiration for peace, independence, and freedom; to express our profound gratitude to the generations of ancestors who sacrificed their lives and blood for national independence and the happiness of the people. At the same time, this activity contributes to arousing and fostering the people's faith and pride in the Party, the State, and the country's renewal process, leading the country into a new era – an era of stable and prosperous development for the Vietnamese nation.
"Through this exhibition, Hanoi Moi Newspaper hopes to bring to the public, especially the younger generation, authentic and profound experiences, so that from the pride of the past, we can gain more faith, strength, and aspirations to contribute to the cause of building and developing the capital and the country to become increasingly prosperous, civilized, and modern," journalist Nguyen Minh Duc emphasized.
The photo exhibition "Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day 2-9 – Continuing the Glorious Chapters of History" is being held at the Hanoi Moi Newspaper headquarters, overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake. This is not only a famous "check-in" spot in the capital, but it also lies on a journey to many historical locations associated with the revolutionary days 80 years ago. These include the August Revolution Square – where the historic rally of the people of Hanoi took place on August 19, 1945, marking the beginning of the General Uprising to seize power throughout the country. It also includes House No. 48 Hang Ngang – where President Ho Chi Minh drafted the Declaration of Independence.
The exhibition features 80 representative photographs, including 40 valuable documentary photos that recreate the heroic atmosphere of the historic August days, when the Party Committee, government, and people of the capital city, along with the whole country, rose up to seize power, leading to independence on September 2, 1945.
Many photographs were provided by the National Archives Center III, including valuable works by photographer Nguyen Ba Khoan such as "Welcoming Allied troops at Trang Tien in August 1945", "The Liberation Army Propaganda Team led by Comrade Dam Quang Trung on September 2, 1945", "Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese troops first entering Lang Son province in August 1945", "Famine relief day on September 28, 1945", "Hanoi's army and people providing famine relief in 1945 during the resistance", "Young Pioneers cultivating sweet potatoes to relieve famine on the Hanoi riverbank in 1945", "Hanoi Youth Union in 1945", "Hanoi Self-Defense Team in 1945", "Suicide squad ambushing the enemy in Khuong Thuong - Hanoi in 1945", "The entire population resisting the enemy in 1945 in the outskirts of Hanoi"...
Continuing to write the glorious history, building the future.
Particularly impressive to viewers are the 40 photographs depicting Hanoi today – dynamic, creative, innovative, and integrated – through the lens of HanoiMoi journalists and close collaborators.
These photographs, depicting street corners, traditional craft villages, and new urban areas, vividly illustrate the continuous development of the thousand-year-old capital city. Many photos also showcase the glorious achievements that the Party Committee, government, and people of Hanoi have attained through their efforts to overcome all difficulties and challenges, continuing to write heroic chapters in history, worthy of the trust and affection of friends both domestically and internationally.
Notable works include "Ho Guom Lake, a land of spiritual significance and outstanding people," "Hanoi is becoming increasingly civilized and modern," "Thang Long Boulevard" (photo by Quang Thai); "Fireworks by Ho Guom Lake" (photo by Viet Thanh)...
Visiting the exhibition, young visitor Tran Minh Tam (Cua Nam ward) shared: “The photo exhibition is very meaningful, helping our young generation feel the heroic atmosphere of the August Revolution and September 2nd 80 years ago. Especially, through these historical photos and images of Hanoi's transformation today, I feel even more proud and realize I have a responsibility to contribute to the development of the capital and the country.”
This young person also shared that the exhibition space is located in a familiar check-in spot for young people, so when combined with a photo exhibition, it becomes a meaningful meeting place, both beautiful for capturing moments and rich in value so that each check-in photo is associated with a message of pride and gratitude.
The exhibition, running until August 31st, at the Hanoi Moi Newspaper headquarters, is an ideal meeting place for the public, readers, and tourists to admire and look back at the glorious pages of the past, thereby arousing national pride, fostering willpower and faith so that today's generation can continue to write glorious chapters of history, leading Hanoi and the country to prosperous and happy development.
