From early morning on September 2, tens of thousands of people flocked to My Dinh Stadium, on Le Quang Dao Street to watch the fireworks display.
At exactly 6:40 a.m. on September 2, 21 large-scale incense bursts simultaneously on the background of the Vietnamese National Anthem, opening the Commemoration Ceremony, parade, and parade for the 80th anniversary of the National Day.
Each 105 mmuu danate weighs nearly 2.3 tons, with three direct guns, in which the No. 1 artilleryman scoops fire points at each launch, the No. 2 artilleryman unlocks the core and the No. 3 artilleryman loads ammunition into the bullet room.
21 shots of large-scale fire in one minute. This is the highest ceremony performed on important occasions of the country and welcoming heads of countries.
Every time the fireworks ring out, thousands of people cheer. Mr. Nguyen Van Thang (70 years old, from Bac Ninh) shared that since the afternoon of September 1, he and his grandchildren took a bus to Hanoi to watch the fireworks display on the morning of September 2.
"I have participated in the artillery army, so for me, the sound of a series of cannons is not only a solemn opening ceremony but also evokes the memories of the battle" - Mr. Thang said.
Having directly witnessed 21 great festivals resounding in My Dinh, in the majestic National Anthem, Mr. Thang clearly felt the pride and spirit of the nation.
"This is a rare opportunity for the younger generations to see the value of the army and history, thereby becoming more patriotic and appreciating today's peace" - Mr. Thang shared more.
Sharing the same excitement, Ms. Tran Thu Ha (25 years old, Cau Giay ward, Hanoi) said she had invited a group of friends to My Dinh stadium since early morning.
"Up to now, I have only known about the festival of shooting on the target on television. Now witnessing the solemn atmosphere and the resounding fireworks among tens of thousands of people, it is really impressive" - Ms. Ha said.
Ms. Ha said this was not only an opening ceremony but also a moment of community connection, so that each person felt proud to live in the important days of the Fatherland.
For her, her great-grandfather's resounding is also a reminder of the sacrifice of our ancestors and the responsibility to preserve the revolutionary achievements of today's young generation.
