Amidst the days when the weather turns to Autumn, another flow is rolling strongly: The flow of history. All over the roads, from the small alleys of the old quarter to the steep alleys, the red flag with yellow star flies everywhere. That red color is not only the color of the National Flag, but also woven from the color of sacrifices, losses and aspirations to have the independence of the nation as it is today.
Along with that bright red flag, there is also a flow of sound penetrating throughout the space, weaving the soul of the historic Autumn. These are not only familiar melodies, but the echoes of the very autumn days of the Revolution 80 years ago.
From the loudspeakers on the streets, the familiar melody of songs that have gone through the years such as: "Marching under the military flag", "Forgetting oneself for the people", "Our army is the heroic army" ... resounded heroically, connecting the memories of an era of bombs with the present peaceful.
After a beat, people even heard a profound, bustling Hanoi in melodies about love and peace. All blend together, affirming one truth: Hanoi is not only heroic in combat but also brilliant, should be poetic in peace.
Hanoi this fall not only has a romantic beauty with street vendors, the elderly playing leisurely on the lake, or charming ao dai in the early morning sun. Walking on the steep street, people will see the pride shining in the eyes of a veteran in the middle of the busy line waiting to watch the parade, the excited faces of children told by their parents about National Day on September 2, the full vitality of a young generation confidently stepping forward towards the future.
That joy seems to have a miraculous influence, overcoming both language and cultural barriers, touching the hearts of international visitors. Coincidentally coming to Hanoi to enjoy a slow vacation, they were surprised to witness it firsthand and become part of the rare atmosphere of the A80 big days.
Hanoi this fall is not only a destination, but a magical intersection between time, between many generations, between spirit and romance. This is not just a celebration, but an affirmation of the strong vitality of a nation that always knows how to take the past as its root to reach the future. This is Hanoi in the 80th Autumn: Proud to look back, steadfast in the present and full of faith entering a new chapter of history.
