On May 18, in Hanoi, Vietnam News Agency (VNA) held a meeting with authors awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize and the State Prize for Literature and Arts in 2022.
On the occasion of the 133rd anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, the award ceremony of the Ho Chi Minh Prize and the State Prize for Literature and Arts in 2022 will be held at the Hanoi Opera House on May 19.
During this period, 128 authors and co-authors were awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize and the State Prize for Literature and Arts, including 16 authors and co-authors who were awarded or posthumously awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize, and 7 photographers who are veteran journalists of VNA.
Ms. Doan Thi Tuyet Nhung, Deputy General Director of VNA, said: After 6 rounds of consideration and awarding from 1996 to 2022, VNA has been honored to have 19 authors honored, with 4 Ho Chi Minh Awards and 18 State Awards in literature, art and photography. Among them, martyr journalist Luong Nghia Dung, late photographer Vo An Khanh and journalist Chu Chi Thanh were honored to receive both Awards. Most of the outstanding photo works honored were taken during the resistance war against the US to save the country. Only the photo series "The rare simplicity of a great man" (photographing General Vo Nguyen Giap by journalist Tran Van Tuan was taken after the country's reunification).
"This is a noble award from the Party, State and people for VNA, for the agency's photographers and brave journalists who have accompanied the nation in historic moments, contributing to the cause of national liberation and unification; building and defending the Fatherland. This is a source of pride and great honor for generations of reporters, editors, officials and workers of VNA," said Ms. Doan Thi Tuyet Nhung.
The history of Vietnam's revolutionary press has recorded that, during the resistance wars to defend the Fatherland, VNA has performed well its role as a trusted strategic information agency of the Party and State. VNA reporters were present in all battlefields, in the most dangerous places; promptly recorded historical moments, condemned war crimes; and reflected the heroic fight of our army and people to regain peace, independence and freedom for the nation. Many VNA reporters heroically sacrificed their lives on the battlefield while performing their information duties. VNA is the press agency with the largest number of journalists sacrificed, with nearly 260 martyrs; out of a total of more than 400 journalist martyrs nationwide.
"In particular, with a large team of photojournalists and a archive of more than 1 million films and photos, VNA is the National Photo Documentation Center, preserving the largest, most vivid and authentic number of photos about the resistance wars and historical events of the country and the nation. The noble awards, the examples of artistic labor and selfless sacrifice of previous generations, will continue to inspire and strongly encourage VNA journalists in the journey to build VNA into a key multimedia national news agency, contributing to the cause of innovation and strong development of the country," Ms. Doan Thi Tuyet Nhung affirmed.
Therefore, the meeting with the authors who were awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize and the State Prize for Literature and Arts in 2022 is an opportunity to honor the authors and works that have been awarded the prizes. This is also an opportunity for photographers to share stories about their profession, about their award-winning works, as well as to inspire and love their profession to the youth union members, photojournalists, and young editors working at VNA.
At the meeting, photographer Chu Chi Thanh talked about the process of taking and preserving the photo series "Two Soldiers"; photographer Dinh Quang Thanh shared about the process of taking the photo series "The enemy breaks us, we keep going" consisting of 5 photos; photographer Tran Van Tuan shared about the process of being selected and following General Vo Nguyen Giap to take photos and introduced the photo series "The rare simplicity of a great man"...
The content shared by the photographers is a source of motivation and inspiration for young reporters and editors, especially photojournalists, to gain more experience in their work so that they can produce quality works that truly and vividly reflect the breath of life.
