One of the notable works is the book "Nguoi di muon trung non nuoc" by writer Trinh Quang Phu. This is a memoir of more than 600 pages, recreating the period before President Ho Chi Minh left to find a way to save the country - the journey from Lang Sen to Nha Rong port.
The work not only stops at recounting milestones of events, but also delves into the historical context, life and ideological influences in the process of forming Uncle Ho's patriotic orientation. From childhood in Nghe An, years of studying in Hue, Quy Nhon, Phan Thiet to the time of setting foot in Saigon, that journey is depicted as a process of accumulating awareness and will.
According to the author's sharing, recreating this period faces many difficulties, especially the issue of Han Nom language and Nghe dialect more than a century ago. In addition, the study of historical figures such as Phan Boi Chau, Phan Chau Trinh, Phan Dinh Phung also requires a laborious research process to ensure accuracy and depth of documents.
Along with that, the book "April 30, 1975: Saigon is no longer a battlefield - Memories of a momentous day" brings a comprehensive view of the nation's momentous historical moment. The publication gathers many articles from witnesses and researchers, including memories of generals such as Vo Nguyen Giap, helping to vividly recreate the developments of the last days before the country was unified.
The noteworthy point of the book is the multi-dimensional approach. Not only reflecting the perspective of the winning side, the work also records the thoughts of people on the other side of the battle line and also foreigners present in Vietnam at that time. Thanks to this, the historical picture is expanded, helping readers better understand the inevitability of victory and the value of peace.
Besides research publications, the book "100 Prides of Vietnam" is aimed at young readers. The book is presented in the form of 100 small topics, spanning many fields such as history, culture, science, cuisine... with concise and easy-to-understand content.
The highlight of the book is the vivid illustration, which helps knowledge become closer to children. Instead of approaching history through dry numbers, young readers can explore the country through stories and visual images, thereby forming pride and awareness of preserving national cultural values.
It can be seen that publications launched on April 30 this year are not only diverse in genre but also rich in approaches. From historical memoirs, research books to children's books, each book contributes to enriching the "map of knowledge" about Vietnam, suitable for many audiences.
In the context of modern society, when information is quickly accessed through many platforms, books still play an important role in providing systematic and in-depth knowledge. Especially with historical topics, reading books helps readers have a comprehensive view, avoiding one-sidedness or misunderstanding.
Books about history and culture not only help readers look back at the past, but also suggest responsibility for the present and the future. As the message from the authors, spreading the story of the nation's struggle journey is a way to add motivation, consolidate belief and solidarity in the new development stage.
April 30th is therefore not only a time to commemorate a historical milestone, but also an opportunity for everyone to find their core values through books - a place that preserves memories, knowledge and pride of the Vietnamese nation.
