The program ended when the MC concluded: "For 50 years, Ho Chi Minh City's literature and arts have been like a steady river, quietly flowing through many ups and downs.
From the pages of books, poems, resounding melodies, to the stage lights, the city's artists have contributed their heartbeats to write the epic of a heroic, compassionate, and creative city.
In each work, we hear the echoes of the Southern alluvium, we see the silhouettes of the city's people - simple yet resilient, full of affection, constantly striving in the new rhythm of life.
And today, from the heart of the city named after Uncle Ho, literature and art continue to spread their wings, like a flock of birds flying towards the dawn, carrying with them the desire to integrate and shine with the times.
