Previously, Mr. Tri and members of the Vietnam Revolutionary Press Bloc gathered at the requested location from 2:00 a.m., at exactly 2:30 a.m., the bus departed to carry the group to Quan Thanh Street. From here, the block will participate in the parade formation, the official parade.
Unable to hide his emotions and pride, Mr. Tri shared that this was truly an unlikely experience that could not be second in his life. "As a TV editor, I often stand in the position of storyteller, holding a microphone, hosting a broadcast, and reporting news to the audience. But this time, I myself am a part of the great story of the country," said Mr. Tri.
"The moment I put on my uniform, standing among nearly 200 colleagues of the Vietnam Revolutionary Press Bloc, steadily passing through the historic Ba Dinh Square... I was both proud and excited. Every step I take feels like I am extending the tradition, extending the history of the nation. Later, I will definitely tell my children and grandchildren about their ancestors and grandparents who marched through the Sacred Square on the Day of the Festival, Mr. Tri expressed.
Sharing about memorable memories during the nearly month-long training process, Mr. Tri said that the time was "long but short". Long time because it has gone through enough harsh sunshine, showers... Some days the skin burned from the sun, some days the whole block was as wet as a rat due to unexpected rain. Looking back, after just over 20 days, everyone from a strange place became as close as a family. There are people who only pass the first practice sessions, now they are talking as close... from the word "pre-life". There are people who at first were named, now you - I are close...
"Remembering the situation where colleagues rush to interview after practicing or take the opportunity to prepare papers right after a break. Amid the sacred task of the national holiday, we still complete the work of individuals and agencies... These small, simple stories are like that, but they unite us, creating unforgettable memories, said Mr. Tri.
According to Mr. Tri, being a journalist is a job that is never easy, news must be available every day, reporters are continuously broadcast, focuses must still be on time... However, the leaders and colleagues in the agency have shared a lot, creating conditions for him to participate in serious training while completing his professional tasks.
A memory that deeply impressed Mr. Tri was when standing in the parade team through the rehearsals, preliminary and final rehearsals, amidst the applause and encouragement of the people on both sides of the road, he really saw the national pride increase.
"We are just one of 13 groups of people, just a small piece in the big picture, but we are honored to represent the press nationwide. That moment reminded me that the journalism profession is not only a job, but also a mission, to be worthy of 100 years of revolutionary journalism, worthy of the trust that my father sent me. After this experience, I promised myself to work more seriously, live and contribute more. Because once I trembled in my steps through the historic Ba Dinh Square, all future efforts must be worthy of that moment, Mr. Tri said emotionally.
