Historic August Spirit Through Pictures
In his opening speech, journalist Nguyen Minh Duc, Party Secretary and Editor-in-Chief of Hanoi Moi Newspaper, emphasized that the photo exhibition “Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2nd – Continuing the heroic history” is a meaningful activity to widely propagate and educate about the stature and significance 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 review the tradition of ardent patriotism, the spirit of great national unity, the desire for peace , independence and freedom; to express deep gratitude to the generations of fathers and brothers who sacrificed their blood for national independence and the happiness of the people. At the same time, this activity contributes to arousing and fostering the people's trust and pride in the Party, the State and the cause of national renewal, bringing the country into a new era - an era of stable development and prosperity of the Vietnamese people.
“Through the exhibition, Hanoi Moi Newspaper hopes to bring to the public, especially the young generation, authentic and profound experiences, so that from the pride of the past, we have more faith, determination and aspiration to contribute to the cause of building and developing the capital and the country to become increasingly rich, civilized and modern,” emphasized journalist Nguyen Minh Duc.
The photo exhibition “Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2nd – Continuing the heroic history” took place at the Hanoi Moi Newspaper Headquarters, which is located next to Hoan Kiem Lake. This is not only a famous “check-in” spot in the capital, but it is also on the journey to many historical sites associated with the revolutionary days 80 years ago. That is the August Revolution Square - where the historic rally of the people of the capital took place on August 19, 1945, starting the General Uprising to seize power across the country. That is the House No. 48 Hang Ngang - where Uncle Ho drafted the Declaration of Independence.
The exhibition includes 80 typical photos, including 40 precious documentary photos recreating the heroic atmosphere of the historic August days, when the Party Committee, government and people of the Capital together with the whole country rose up to seize power, leading to the independence day of September 2, 1945.
Many photos were provided by the National Archives Center III, including valuable works by photographer Nguyen Ba Khoan such as “Welcoming the Allied troops at Trang Tien in August 1945”, “The Liberation Army Propaganda Team led by comrade Dam Quang Trung on September 2, 1945”, “The first Chinese army of Chiang Kai-shek entered Lang Son province in August 1945”, “Famine relief day on September 28, 1945”, “Hanoi army and people in 1945 joined the resistance”, “Young Pioneers growing sweet potatoes to relieve hunger on the banks of the Hanoi river in 1945”, “Hanoi Youth Union in 1945”, “Hanoi Self-Defense Team in 1945”, “The suicide squad ambushing the enemy in Khuong Thuong - Hanoi in 1945”, “The entire people resisting the enemy in 1945 in the suburbs of Hanoi”…
Continue writing glorious history, building the future
Particularly impressive to viewers are the 40 photos depicting Hanoi today - dynamic, creative, innovative and integrated, through the lens of Hanoi Moi reporters and close collaborators.
These are photos of street corners, craft villages, and new urban areas, vividly demonstrating the unceasing development of the thousand-year-old capital. Many photos also show the glorious achievements that the Party Committee, government, and people of the capital have achieved through their efforts to overcome all difficulties and challenges to continue writing heroic pages of history, worthy of the trust and love of domestic and international friends.
Some of the works include “Hoan Kiem Lake, a sacred land of talented people”, “Hanoi is increasingly developing in civilization and modernity”, “Thang Long Avenue” (photo by Quang Thai); “Fireworks by Hoan Kiem Lake” (photo by Viet Thanh)…
Visiting the exhibition, young audience member 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. In particular, through the historical photos and images of Hanoi’s renovation today, I feel even more proud and feel that I need to have the responsibility to contribute to the further development of the capital and the country.”
This young person also shared that the exhibition space is located right at a location that is a familiar check-in spot for young people, so when combined with a photo exhibition, this place becomes a meaningful meeting place, both beautiful to preserve moments, and rich in value so that each check-in photo is associated with a message of pride and gratitude.
The exhibition will run until August 31. The Hanoi Moi Newspaper Headquarters is an ideal meeting place for the public, readers and tourists to enjoy and look back at the golden pages of the glorious past, thereby arousing national pride, fostering the will and belief for today's generation to continue writing heroic pages of history, bringing Hanoi and the country to prosperous and happy development.
