"These are articles by the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong published in the Communist Magazine, spread across the country from the capital Hanoi, the heart of the country, to the city named after Uncle Ho - Ho Chi Minh City; from the Northern mountainous region to the Central region, the Central Highlands; from the Truong Son mountain range to Hoang Sa, Truong Sa, the sea and sky of the Fatherland. Everywhere on the land of Vietnam, there is still the warmth of philosophical lines flowing from the humane heart, the great thoughts of the sages who passed on the aspiration for independence, freedom, and eternal happiness to the people and to the country of Vietnam", General Director Tuyet Minh shared.

Chapter 1 recreates the atmosphere of the self-defense teams, guerrilla teams such as the ATKs operating underground in the countryside of Hanoi's suburbs such as: Tram Long, 7 La villages, 3 Mo villages - Hoai Duc, Dinh Bang - Bac Ninh, Co Loa... preparing to enter the capital with the strength of will, belief, and intense desire of the whole nation, creating the overwhelming momentum of the August 19th General Uprising through Uncle Nguyen Quyet's memories of the General Uprising and the sacred moment when Uncle Ho read the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square on September 2, 1945.
The highlight of Chapter 2 is the history-making decisions of the Party Central Committee's Politburo, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, along with General Vo Nguyen Giap and the late Minister of Public Security Tran Quoc Hoan, who proposed the top secret plan of the Phuong Dong 1 delegation and the Reconnaissance team to support the Southern battlefield, establishing a special working group on Uncle Ho's birthday (May 19, 1959) named the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail with the vital route: Cutting through Truong Son to save the country, transporting millions of tons of goods and weapons from the North through the forests and Truong Son range, crossing the sea with unnumbered ships on the Ho Chi Minh Trail at sea to promptly serve the resistance war of the army and people of the South.

The Central Security Department of the Southern Region sent brave and resourceful officers and soldiers to join the Saigon - Cho Lon security reconnaissance teams to form the Special Forces, quickly building armed organizations to destroy evil and traitors, destroy warehouses, eliminate traitors, fight the Americans and the puppet regime to protect Saigon, protect the Revolution, and prepare to wait for the order to coordinate the Mau Than General Offensive in 1968.

Chapter 3 consists of two songs composed by choreographer Tuyet Minh specifically for the program: the march: "Saigon Special Security Soldier" to pay tribute to the outstanding sons of the motherland Vietnam who devoted their entire lives to the Fatherland in the Mau Than battle in 1968 and the long poem: "Uncle's Words - The Words of the Country" is a moment of silence to pay tribute to the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong with sacred feelings and deep emotions.
Director Tuyet Minh said that, with the desire to not stop at an art program to celebrate or welcome the usual major holidays, she determined that "Sao Doc Lap" is a political art program, so the requirements of history, topicality and artistic elements must be blended and refined.

The artists and their works will stand by as the Vietnamese people's voice of gratitude to the national liberation heroes, heroic Vietnamese mothers, heroic martyrs, and to the heroes of the renovation period who are sacrificing their own happiness day and night to devote themselves to the development and peace of the country," General Director Tuyet Minh shared.
The program "Independence Star" 2024 brought the audience heroic and touching moments, with pride, gratitude, faith and aspiration to rise up and join hands to build the country.
