Director Pham Hoang Giang made "Hanoi's Marks" with deep love.

Although he has produced many successful and resounding programs about Hanoi, “Hanoi’s Marks” is truly an opportunity for director Pham Hoang Giang to “repay” Hanoi, the place he is attached to, loves and is grateful for giving him the life and career he has today. Like many people, Hanoi, although not his birthplace, is closely connected to the life of Pham Hoang Giang and his small family.

Devoting many months to the program is considered Pham Hoang Giang's contribution to the beloved Capital, aiming to introduce to visitors from all over the world a Hanoi with 70 years of heroic and brave history, always maintaining its elegant qualities, with its own unique beauty that all Vietnamese people are proud of.

Being entrusted to be the General Director of the program “Hanoi’s Red Marks” to open “Hanoi Days in Ho Chi Minh City”, I do not have the ambition to tell everything about Hanoi over the past 70 years, but only hope that through art, I will “distill” a part of Hanoi’s “red marks”, in order to introduce to the people of Ho Chi Minh City, tourists from all over the world to better understand the 70-year heroic and proud history of the Capital, the development, the harmonious beauty between tradition and modernity of the Capital today…”. According to the General Director, the message of the program aims to portray “Hanoi’s Red Marks” as the Red Marks of history - the Red Marks of the present and the Red Marks of the future in the period of integration and development. All of these have created a Capital Hanoi connecting the historical sources and quintessence of the nation, where the spirit of patriotism, love of peace, solidarity and aspiration to rise of the whole nation converge, crystallize and shine.

The highlight is the opening program "Hanoi's Marks" taking place on the evening of August 23 on Nguyen Hue walking street, directed by director Pham Hoang Giang. Ms. Le Thi Anh Mai, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, said that the program will bring a vivid picture of the Capital through documentary films, art performances, recreating the historical and cultural values ​​of the thousand-year-old city.

“Today, Hanoi is not only a political and cultural center, but also an attractive tourist destination, a modern, dynamic and creative city. However, no matter how much it develops, the land and people of Hanoi always maintain its core values, traditional beauty and memories of a glorious and difficult period of struggle for independence. It is these values ​​that have created the internal strength, helping Hanoi to firmly step on the path of sustainable development,” Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports Le Thi Anh Mai shared about the program at the press conference.

The opening program was directed by the Organizing Committee of Hanoi Days in Ho Chi Minh City, directed by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports in coordination with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports, Thang Long Puppetry Theater, directed by General Director Pham Hoang Giang, music director Hong Kien, stage director Meritorious Artist Tran Thanh Hien, and general choreographer People's Artist Hong Phong.

Director Pham Hoang Giang said that it is difficult to fully describe the 70-year journey of fighting, building and developing the capital Hanoi in less than 2 hours, but he hopes that the program will help the audience see part of the glorious and proud journey of Hanoi since October 10, 1954 until now. Seeing the day the capital was liberated is a brilliant milestone in the more than 1000-year development history of Thang Long - Dong Do - Hanoi; a sacred land, talented people, brave in fighting, heroic in labor production. Seeing that Hanoi today is developing at a rapid pace, changing every day to be worthy of being the capital, the leading political, economic, cultural, educational and scientific center... of the whole country. Not only that, Hanoi also takes care to preserve its elegant character and thousand-year-old culture, to not only be the heart of the whole country but also a City for Peace admired and loved by friends around the world.
