"With deep affection for the City named after Uncle Ho, the authors and groups of authors have brought to the campaign many works of high ideological and artistic value; diversity and richness in form and content, especially the works have closely followed the theme, expressing the strong aspiration for a Ho Chi Minh City reaching new heights in the future, while preserving the identity of the city with many unique cultural features" - Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Yen Chi, member of the Arts Council, informed.
