In the atmosphere of the whole country towards the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025) and the 71st anniversary of the historic Victory Day of Dien Bien Phu (May 7, 1954 - May 7, 2025).
Sites such as: Dien Bien Phu Victory Museum, Dien Bien Phu Victory Monument, A1 Hill Relic, Do Cat Tunnel... are not only places to review the heroic past but also become "check-in" points to attract young people to celebrate the anniversary of unity.
Many young people choose solemn outfits, with national colors or elegant tones, along with poses showing respect, to spread pride and gratitude.
Talking to Lao Dong, Ms. Dang Thu Hieu (Him Lam ward, Dien Bien Phu city) said: "I often take advantage of my free time to visit cultural and historical sites, not only to take photos but also to learn and connect with the core values of the nation".
According to Ms. Hieu, April 30 and May 7 are special milestones, visiting historical sites on this occasion is like a journey back to memories, to be grateful, to cherish the present and to live more responsibly.
Ms. Hieu added that it is thanks to the sacrifice of the previous generation that the younger generation today has a peaceful life, freedom to pursue their passion.
Finding red addresses and sharing images on social networks is not only a way to express interest in history, but also an effective form of spreading the value of patriotism in the digital age - Ms. Hieu said.
Sharing the same proud emotions, Ms. Lu Thi Nga (21 years old) - a student at Dien Bien Pedagogical College - decided to rent a traditional ao dai, an iconic costume of Vietnamese women, to take her photo shoot.
"Wearing the national ao dai, standing among the places marking the heroic feat is not only beautiful but also shows solemnity and respect for history and national culture" - Ms. Nga said.
According to Ms. Nga, when taking photos at relic sites, you should choose camera angles that can take your image in the ao dai and the majesty and solemnity of the historical structure behind.
"I want the photo to have both a personal mark and a connection between today's generation and the glorious past. In particular, the image of red flags with yellow stars at the relics" - Ms. Nga added.
As a child born and raised in the historic land of Dien Bien, Ms. Nga hopes that young people will feel the pride and appreciation of the glorious history of the nation.
