National flag and historical significance
"The country is still the country,
"The flag of independence is raised, the foundation is built for peace."
(Ho Chi Minh – New “Lament of a Soldier's Wife”)
In the early autumn days of Hanoi, everywhere in the S-shaped strip of land is filled with flags and flowers. It is not difficult to see the image of the national flag hanging solemnly in front of each house and flower stalls with small flags on the street.
Nguyen Ngoc Linh (Asia-Pacific student, Diplomatic Academy) could not help but be moved by the beauty of the national flag. With many profound thoughts in her heart, Ngoc Linh confided: “I still remember clearly what my teacher taught me when I was in elementary school. The red flag with a yellow star with a red background symbolizes the revolution, the yellow color symbolizes the Vietnamese people and the five-pointed star represents the five classes of scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers, all of which create the great national unity. The flag itself carries within it a sacred meaning, and perhaps that is also something that I can never forget.”

| Since she was a child, the image of the flag has been deeply imprinted in Ngoc Linh's mind, becoming a symbol for her to strive and work hard. |
In recent days, Ngoc Linh still spends time walking around the streets of Hanoi. She is extremely proud to see the brilliant red color on the roads she passes. The red flag with a five-pointed yellow star has accompanied the people from the difficult days of struggle until the country entered the Renovation period, striving to rise "shoulder to shoulder with the world powers". The historical significance of the national flag is a great reminder for Ngoc Linh. Accordingly, she hopes that she will strive to cultivate and promote the identity of a Vietnamese student, especially in the VUCA world (Volatility - Volatility; Uncertainty - Uncertainty; Complexity - Complexity; Ambiguity - Ambiguity).
The image of the flag also evokes many thoughts in Nguyen Vi Khanh (Finance student, RMIT University). Vi Khanh shared: “To me, the national flag is always one of the most sacred things of every country. Especially on National Day September 2, the image of the Vietnamese flag hanging straight on the streets makes me feel a more sacred and proud atmosphere than ever. I think hanging the flag on September 2 evokes in each of us a strong national pride and gratitude towards the past, and that is what makes the national flag more special on this day”.

| In university, Vi Khanh has plans for self-development, determined to bring the national flag to international competitions. |
The image of the red flag with a yellow star fluttering in the peaceful blue sky always ignites in the hearts of the Vietnamese people a fire of enthusiasm to dedicate to their homeland. It is not only on important national holidays that the streets are bright with the bright red flag. The Vietnamese people always have great love and respect for the national flag because of its profound meaning, especially for the young generation - the future buds of the country.
Proud belief in the future

Once a National Excellent Student in History, Vu Ngoc Huyen (International Communication Student, Diplomatic Academy) affirmed: "Educating patriotism as well as awareness of protecting the national flag from a young age has great significance for the young generation in the future."
“Patriotism is the core of human personality, a precious tradition that needs to be nurtured from childhood. When planted from a young age, love for the homeland will become an indispensable part of the child’s soul. At the same time, the awareness of protecting the national flag will help each person understand the sacred meaning of the national flag, thereby strengthening the spirit of solidarity and attachment to the community,” Ngoc Huyen said with a smile.
 |
| For Ngoc Huyen, positive expressions prove that patriotism and solidarity always exist and are present in "the most ordinary images". |
In recent days, the trend of painting the national flag in response to National Day has spread strongly. Images of people painting murals, roofs, etc. into the national flag on newspapers and television have strongly inspired Ngoc Huyen. That has awakened in Ngoc Huyen a proud belief in the future: "Such practical actions are not just a temporary trend but also clear evidence that educating patriotism from a young age has planted good seeds in the hearts of every Vietnamese person."

In the atmosphere of National Day, the image of the national flag becomes even more sacred and solemn. The national flag of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a symbol of independence, freedom, and happiness, a shining image for generations to contribute to building the Fatherland and making the country famous.
