On the evening of August 22, the political and artistic television program "Golden Times" took place simultaneously at 3 locations: Flag Tower Relic Site (Hanoi), Ngo Mon Square (Hue) and Ho Chi Minh Museum (Ho Chi Minh City branch).
The program is about 100 minutes long, inspired by the poem "Learning to play chess" by President Ho Chi Minh, to talk about the past and present opportunities of the nation.
With a seamless three-hapter structure, the television bridge is like a continuous flow, recreating the heroic history of the nation over the past 80 years.
Right at the opening, the audience was able to turn back the historic Autumn Festival in 1945 - the boiling August days, when the whole nation simultaneously stood up to gain independence. The elaborate stage productions make visitors feel like they are immersing themselves in the atmosphere of the historic land of Tan Trao, or the roads covered with colorful flags and flowers in Hanoi, Hue, Saigon - Cho Lon - Gia Dinh. In just 15 days, from Military Command No. 1 (August 13, 1945), the whole nation wrote a historic shocking miracle.
Each chapter in the program brings topics connecting the past to the present and the future. Chapter 1 called Must see for the width, be small for the details is a lesson in vision and determination to grasp Golden Opportunity, opening the era of Independence - freedom and the journey to build Socialism.
Next, the second chapter with the theme "Resolutely attack" is a historical journey from the resounding victory of Dien Bien Phu, to the spring of national reunification and renovation, affirming national courage, turning challenges into opportunities, creating opportunities with your own hands and mind.
Chapter 3 called "Determined Success" brings the audience to a Vietnam of today, facing a new opportunity - an era of development, prosperity, and power. The program makes viewers more confident, proud of the past and full of enthusiasm to move forward in a brilliant future. That is the call to stand up, act and continue writing the story of oneself and the nation.
The special highlight of the program is the reports meeting historical witnesses - people who passed through the decisive moments of the country. In particular, the conversation with Colonel, Musician Doan Nho - author of songs that light up the hearts of many generations, and Ms. Ton Nu Thi Ninh - former Deputy Head of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee, now chairwoman of the Vietnam Forum: Vietnamese Moments brought viewers deep emotions. Through memories and stories told, history appears no longer as dry pages of books but as vivid memories, touching the heart.
The interweaving of music and visual art created a complete emotional feast for the audience. From the new song "My House Has a Flag" performed by Ha Anh Tuan to the immortal songs sung through the voices of My Linh, Dang Duong, Trong Tan, or the excerpt from the play "I and We" by Luu Quang Vu, the poem "Dat Nuoc" by Nguyen Khoa Diem all left a impression in the hearts of the audience. Large, modern LED screens are arranged in all three stages in three regions, giving viewers a panoramic, realistic feeling.
At each point, thousands of spectators simultaneously waved the red flag with a yellow star, creating a sacred moment like living with history. The harmony of the three regions' television networks has painted the image of a united Vietnam, steadfastly moving towards the future.
