Mr. Nguyen The Toan (Head of Hanoi Delegation): The festival is an opportunity for members to exchange and strengthen solidarity.
Mr. Nguyen The Toan - Head of Hanoi City Delegation.
Coming to this festival, our Hanoi delegation staged a program with the theme "October Melody". The content is aimed at the Capital Liberation Day (October 10) and the Month of Action for the Elderly (NCT) 2023.
The program has 5 acts including: group singing, solo singing, duet singing, and accompanying dance performances. To complete the program, the actors have been practicing enthusiastically for over a month. We hope to bring to the festival attractive performances, with the spirit of NCT Hanoi.
We are very happy that the festival is held in Ha Tinh, a homeland rich in revolutionary traditions and with many famous landscapes. In particular, after many years of returning, I have noticed that Ha Tinh has many innovations and is increasingly developing. This festival is an opportunity for the elderly in the capital to learn about the culture and people of the revolutionary countryside of Ha Tinh, and at the same time meet and exchange with friends from many provinces and cities, strengthening solidarity among the elderly in the region.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu (Lao Cai Group): The careful organization helps us perform more confidently.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu - Lao Cai delegation.
Traveling nearly 700 km from Lao Cai City to Ha Tinh to attend the festival is not an easy task for elderly people like us. Before departure, the group could not help but worry about the long distance, the accommodation of the members... However, what surprised us the most was the thoughtfulness of the host Ha Tinh. Here, we were given detailed instructions by the group leader and enthusiastically guided by the hotel staff. The rooms at the hotel are very beautiful and fully equipped. In addition, the hotel also arranges exercise and health care services ready to serve when guests have a need. This enthusiastic and thoughtful reception made a very good first impression.
The Organizing Committee also arranged for the group to have conditions to practice and test the program before the festival took place. The stage, sound and lighting system of the Cultural - Cinema Center of Ha Tinh province, where the festival took place, was also very modern and convenient. All of that gave us the confidence to perform our best performances. We hope to achieve high results at the festival and have many interesting experiences during our stay in Ha Tinh city.
Mr. Vu Ba Rong (Head of Bac Ninh delegation): Opportunity for the elderly to promote their role in preserving the cultural heritage of their homeland.
Mr. Vu Ba Rong - Head of Bac Ninh delegation.
Preserving and promoting cultural heritage values is one of the major policies that Bac Ninh province has set out. Together with all levels, sectors and organizations, in recent times, the Bac Ninh Elderly Association at all levels has always paid attention to this work. Therefore, based on the regulations set out by the Central Elderly Association in the festival, we have tried to build an art program imbued with the identity of our homeland's culture, with Quan Ho folk songs as the main theme.
Besides being a playground for the elderly in many localities to gather, exchange and connect, we hope that through this festival, Quan Ho melodies - a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity - will resonate in the countryside of Vi and Giam in Nghe Tinh, as well as spread further to all regions.
Ms. Vo Thi Kieu Thanh (Ha Tinh delegation): The festival is an opportunity to promote the cultural beauty and people of "Hong mountain, La river".
Ms. Vo Thi Kieu Thanh
Having participated in the festival from the grassroots level to the provincial level, and now representing Ha Tinh at the regional level, it is a great honor for us. The whole team has been practicing hard for many months with performances that are imbued with the traditional cultural and artistic characteristics of Ha Tinh. In addition to the desire to achieve high results at the festival, we also want to bring the audience good performances that demonstrate the local identity.
The festival, attended by hundreds of delegates, actors and members from 26 northern provinces and cities, will be an opportunity for us to exchange and learn about traditional culture and performance skills from other provinces. In the coming days, members of the Ha Tinh delegation will be very willing to introduce tourist attractions and historical and cultural relics to other delegations to contribute to promoting the beauty of Ha Tinh culture and people to domestic friends.
