Exhibition on Vietnamese revolutionary soldiers and prisoners opens

The exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the liberation of revolutionary soldiers imprisoned by the US-backed regime in the South (1973-2023) and the 48th anniversary of the reunification of Vietnam (April 30, 1975).

According to the organizer, the exhibition tells many moving stories about the revolutionary lives of Vietnamese patriots who were imprisoned and some died in jails across the country during the US war before 1975.

The “Moment of Resurrection” exhibition consists of three parts: “The Opening of the Prison Door,” “The Day of the Victorious Return,” and “The Epic Poem Continues.

The first part consists of pictures of the prison and penitentiary system built by the U.S. imperialists and the government of the Republic of Vietnam after 1954. Among them, 6 prisons are considered “hell on earth”, including those in Con Dao and Phu Quoc Islands, Chi Hoa (in Ho Chi Minh City), Phu Loi (Binh Duong Province), Tan Hiep (Binh Duong Province) and Thu Duc (Thu Duc City).

In these prisons, the enemy used many cruel tricks to drive the prisoners into physical and mental exile. Many soldiers died heroically as they fought resolutely against the harsh prison regime.

The second part titled “The victorious returning day”, consists of documents and images related to the  Agreement to End the War and Restore Peace in Vietnam.

After the agreement was signed, the exchange of inmates and political prisoners between Vietnam and the US began in February 1973. The exchanges took place at many different locations, the two most important being the ones by the Thach Han River in Quang Tri Province and Loc Ninh Airport in Loc Ninh District, Binh Phuoc Province.

The third part, entitled “The Epic Poem Continues,” praises the inmates who were happy to return home after the historic signing of the Paris Peace Accords. Despite many hardships, the former prisoners did their best to study and work after their reintegration into the community.

The exhibits recall the heroic historical moments of the victorious days so that the next generation can understand and appreciate the merits and sacrifices of the revolutionary fighters who were imprisoned by the enemy, and then better understand and appreciate the value of today’s peace, independence, and freedom.

The themed exhibition is open to the public in the courtyard of the Hoa Lo Prison Relic Site.

Foreigners excited to discover flower road in Hanoi

Image
The blooming bauhinia variegata trees make many people think they are lost in the mountain of the Northwestern region. The bauhinia variegata flowers are conspicuous, white and purple, with five soft petals, featuring the typical beauty of the high mountain in the north. The Ban flower season starts in late February and lasts till April. When the flowers are blooming, they look like a fan. Although there are several colours, white and purple are the main colours. At the beginning of the flower season, many roads in Hanoi look more romantic and attractive. On weekends, many foreign visitors choose to call at Ciputra to watch bauhinia variegate blossoming. “We feel as if we get lost in a mountain in the northern highlands of Vietnam,” says Shachin, an Indian visitor and his wife. The Indian couple do not forget to capture an impressive moment right in Hanoi instead of travelling far up north. “We are very happy and l...

Weaving village in the city

There are now very few families pursuing the trade, but they still try to continue preserving the brand of the traditional trade village. A golden age Few families in Bay Hien weaving village use looms. Nguyen Thi Hue, 80, is the oldest artisan and is one of very few artisans following the ups and downs of the village. She can no longer weave with looms due to her poor eyes and shaking hands. She still remembered the beautiful memories of a golden age of the village. She was born in a commune that was famous for weaving in Dien Ban District, Quang Nam Province. She learned how to spin thread and take shuttle when she was 10 years old. In the 1950s-1960s in the previous century, Quang Nam was devastated by fierce war and harsh nature, making the people’s lives getting more miserable.
