They are the solid rear and the proud and brave Vietnamese warriors when facing the invaders. They have transformed into the Vietnamese posture worthy of the eight golden words "Heroic - Indomitable - Loyal - Responsible" that Uncle Ho bestowed upon them.

At that time, I was sent to record images of the largest prisoner exchange in the history of the war in Vietnam.”
The work " The enemy breaks, we keep going" consists of 5 photos by photographer and former reporter of Vietnam News Agency Dinh Quang Thanh, who was awarded the State Prize for Literature and Arts in 2022.
