When young Vietnamese show their patriotism

This is an opportunity for the younger generation, born in peacetime, to gain a deeper understanding of the value of peace while fostering patriotism and a sense of responsibility toward the nation.

Over the past month, preparations for the 50th anniversary of the liberation of southern Vietnam and national reunification have created a vibrant and emotional atmosphere throughout the country.

Thanks to the timely, responsible, and vivid involvement of the media – especially the press – the celebration has truly become a national festival, filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and pride among almost all citizens.

In Ho Chi Minh City, rehearsals and pre-runs for the parade scheduled for the morning of April 30 have stirred pride and excitement among young people.

Many youths have taken to the streets, waving flags, taking photos, and sharing memorable moments from different angles and moods on social media, creating a wave of patriotic spirit.

Elsewhere across the country, photo exhibitions, art performances, and historical education activities have taken place vibrantly. Provinces and cities have also organized youth camps, history contests, and meetings with historical witnesses.

These activities are not only entertaining but also help young people better understand the significance of April 30, igniting a strong sense of national pride.

Young people have actively participated in movements such as 'Gratitude to Heroes,' visiting the families of fallen soldiers, tending to martyr cemeteries, and attending historical storytelling sessions.

Many schools and youth groups have created media products – videos, articles, infographics – to spread messages about April 30.

On social media, hashtags related to the April 30 celebration – such as #3042025, #Lễ30Tháng4, #GiảiPhóngMiềnNam, #ThốngNhấtĐấtNước, #KỷNiệm304, #ViệtNamTôi, #TựHàoViệtNam, #DaiLe304, #50NamThongNhat, #dieu binh, and #50namgiaiphongmiennam – have quickly trended with thousands of posts.

Many young people have written poems, composed songs, painted, or produced videos to express their love for the country.

The Grand Celebration of April 30, 2025 is not only a time to reflect on history but also an opportunity to instill patriotism in the younger generation through education, inspiration, and concrete actions.

The commemorative activities have helped young people better understand their responsibilities in protecting and building the nation.

Stories of the sacrifices of their forebears, images of Uncle Ho's soldiers during the parade, and revolutionary songs have touched the hearts of the younger generation, stirring pride and a desire to contribute.

Historical education programs, from schools to communities, along with extensive media and social media coverage, have played an important role in conveying the values of peace and independence.

The celebration provides an opportunity for the younger generation to demonstrate their role in a new era. Through creative activities – such as digital content production, event organization, and volunteer work – young people have shown that patriotism is not just a feeling but also action.

These initiatives not only spread patriotism within the community but also affirm the important role of young people in nation-building.

On the journey of building and defending the nation, today's youth, with pride and responsibility, will continue to write new chapters of history, honoring the sacrifices and expectations of those who came before them.
