Speaking at the program, Deputy Secretary of the City Youth Union, Chairman of the Vietnam Student Association of Hanoi Nguyen Tien Hung said: The program is part of the Journey to Unify the Country series organized by the City Youth Union, aiming to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).

This is a meaningful activity with the hope that through the exchanges of “Telling historical stories - Fueling tradition” with historical witnesses, the young generation will not only understand more about the years of arduous fighting, but also be nurtured with patriotism, strong will and national pride. That spirit is inherited and promoted by the youth of the capital, continuing to train, perfect themselves, contributing to the development of the country in the new era - the era of the Vietnamese people's rise.

The sharing of historical witnesses brought to the students many emotions mixed with pride in the previous pioneering generation, who did not spare their blood and bones, sacrificed for independence and freedom, for the country to be united.

Historical witnesses also expressed their hope that students will always be good and studious, uphold the tradition of studiousness, and in the future, grow up, follow in the footsteps of their fathers and brothers, and build the capital and the country.
