Born in 1984, in the context of the country beginning to foster the spirit of Renovation, the play “Me and Us” is the pioneering voice full of courage with the spirit of criticism, fighting against the conservatism and stagnation left by the subsidy mechanism. That is the obstacle that restrains creativity, prevents the flow of innovative thinking, the desire for innovation and dedication in each person. The play raises the question of the initiative of each individual in a collective system, putting on the scale the choice between “Safety - Compliance” or “Commitment - Change”.
More than 40 years later, that question is still relevant as the country enters a new era, where innovation, transparent governance and the role of proactive citizens become pillars for the country’s sustainable development. “I and We” is the awakening voice, the hyphen between yesterday’s desire for innovation and today’s construction.

According to People's Artist Trung Hieu - director of the play "I and Us" said: "Many people ask us: "So what's new in this play? What's attractive?" - I would like to say, the newness lies in the approach: We do not look for something strange, but look for things that have made the audience cry, think, and change. And with today's language, with modern technology, with the sincere emotions of today's artists, we believe that those values will not become old, but will be revived strongly. The play will be "transformed" to reflect the reality of today's society: Where each person must constantly overcome prejudices, old habits, overcome the barriers of cumbersome mechanisms, contribute to change, create flexible and effective operations of the country's organizations and apparatus.

“Me and We” conveys the message: When the stage becomes a mirror reflecting ourselves, on the journey to create a civilized, democratic and progressive future.
"Television Stage" is the meeting of today's generation with the profound artistic memories of their ancestors - a sacred connection between the past and the present. With all the love for the stage, with the consensus of those working in the profession, we believe: The stage will not only revive - but will live healthy, beautiful and long in the hearts of the audience."
Journalist Nguyen Kim Khiem - General Director - Editor-in-Chief of Hanoi Radio and Television shared: "Implementing the direction and orientation of the Hanoi Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department, Hanoi Radio and Television in coordination with Central and City art units deployed the program "Television Stage" broadcast monthly on Hanoi Radio's platforms starting from this June. We do not aim to find strangeness or difference, but rather wish to spread core artistic values through classic plays that have been well received by audiences and have left a deep impression on the country's cultural and artistic life.
Each work reintroduced is an opportunity for today's generation to connect with the previous generation, to recall the social atmosphere of the changing years, and to seek inspiration to develop the country in an increasingly civilized, profound, and humane way.
And if those values can be renewed by today's artists with new emotions, then surely the stage will not only "revive" but also continue to develop strongly, spreading to the community - especially the young generation.
Technically, the recordings will be broadcast on television and widely disseminated on social platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, ensuring the highest image quality for viewers to have the most complete experience.
