The performances with the theme of country and peace were staged and performed by students of Hanoi National University of Education.

The program helped students of Hanoi National University of Education today meet and listen to historical stories told by the people who lived, fought and contributed to the movement to protect the country of revolutionary youth, the youth of the National University of Education at that time, the teachers who followed the sacred call of the Fatherland to go to war - so that today's youth can listen, understand and appreciate.

In his opening speech, Chairman of the University Council, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Hien, said that the challenge of identity is when globalization is causing traditional values ​​to fade away. The challenge of will is when a part of the youth lives without ideals, pursues a pragmatic and selfish lifestyle; and takes advantage of freedom of speech to "cut history".

Chairman of the University Council, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Hien delivered the opening speech of the program "Fueling the Tradition - Forever Shining the Faith in Unity"

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Hien cited the warning of culturalist Nguyen Khac Vien: "A nation that does not know how to look back at the past will never understand the present and will certainly not have a future."

Therefore, the meeting with teachers and those who once volunteered to go to the battlefield has a very profound meaning. This is an opportunity for the current generation of students of Hanoi National University of Education to pay tribute to historical witnesses and is also a precious opportunity for them to listen to authentic stories, to feel more deeply the value of independence, freedom, and the passionate patriotic tradition of the nation.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Hien reminded the current generation of students and youth with the advice of the late General Vo Nguyen Giap: " Peace is only truly meaningful when the young generation knows how to use their intelligence and enthusiasm to build the country."

Stories about ideals and wartime are shared by guests with the young generation in simple, rustic language, full of emotions.
