From coffee shops to restaurants, the image of the red flag with a yellow star appears in many different ways of decoration. From the cup of coffee to the bowl of pho, all are uniquely shaped like stars. That is also a way to remind people and tourists when coming to Hanoi these days about a special event.
During the days of red flags, Hanoi's autumn is busier, the atmosphere is more fun and colorful. And all that seems to be settled down in many programs and events to remember the historic August autumn of the country. The "national concerts" that have been and are about to take place all have created a big impact. That is a positive point when millions of people not only care about the country's major holidays but also experience them to enhance national pride.
After the effect of a series of activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification in Ho Chi Minh City, it is Hanoi's turn to become a destination for young people on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2. These are two of many other major events of the nation. Historical milestones that every Vietnamese person remembers.
Holidays are not only an occasion for celebration, but also an opportunity for young people to learn about the origin, meaning and historical lessons behind each event. That is also the positive point behind each "national concert".
For young people, historical lessons are reviewed from such events. Seeing the atmosphere of Hanoi's autumn days filled with red, it gives each Vietnamese person the pride and historical accents of the nation. That is the meaningful red color that does not fade away.
