The image of tank number 390 crashing into the main gate of the Independence Palace at noon on April 30, 1975 and the liberation flag flying on the roof of the Independence Palace has become a sacred symbol of national independence. The great victory in the spring of 1975 was not only a military victory but also a victory of the will, intelligence and aspiration for peace of the Vietnamese people; it is a shining testament to the strength of great national unity under the correct and wise leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the great President Ho Chi Minh.

On this occasion, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism presided over and coordinated with the Provincial Literature and Arts Association to organize a thematic exhibition to widely disseminate to all classes of people the value, significance and great stature of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign and the great victory of Spring 1975; the important role of the team of artists, Vietnamese literature and arts in general, and Bac Giang in particular, in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. Thereby contributing to educating patriotism, historical traditions and revolution for the younger generation.

Here, delegates cut the ribbon to open and visit the exhibition area on the first floor of the Provincial Museum with two themes. With the theme "Historical Moments - Great Victory of Spring 1975", the Organizing Committee displayed nearly 100 typical images and artifacts, vividly recreating important milestones, heroic and emotional moments in the general offensive and uprising in Spring 1975 - the peak of which was the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign.
