performed in various genres, including singing, dancing, and drama, all
praising the Party, beloved Uncle Ho, love for the homeland and country, and
the enduring tradition of the Vietnam People’s Army, Military Region 3, and the
heroic armed forces of Hoa Binh province, encompassing their growth, battles
and continuous development.
Over two days, more than 300 performers and
musicians from 10 art troupes presented 48 captivating performances at the
festival, reliving Vietnam's glorious struggle history and reflecting the new
missions of the armed forces.
Through the festival, the audiences were taken
back to the nation's glorious past, with the noble image of "Uncle Ho’s
soldiers" and the spirited enthusiasm of today’s youth. Each performance
was an epic vividly reflecting social life from various perspectives,
approaches and expressions. With a spirit of serious artistic creativity,
passionate dedication and high responsibility, the troupes delivered remarkable
performances, leaving a strong impression on the public.
Trinh Van Bac, deputy head of the provincial
ethnic art troupe, highlighted the festival's significant artistic improvement.
He commended the troupes' efforts in selecting content and innovating their
staging techniques. Tight compositions, clear ideological themes, and high
artistic value were evident throughout the event. The meticulous use of stage
space, scenery, props, LED displays, sound effects and lighting all contributed
to the festival's captivating atmosphere.
Quach Dang Phu, Political Commissar of the
provincial Military Command, said the festival has truly become a cultural and
spiritual celebration of local officers, soldiers, and residents. It was also
an opportunity to review the local armed forces’ journey of building, fighting,
and maturing. Furthermore, the event served to uphold the cherished qualities
of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" in the contemporary era, thus fostering
robust military-civilian solidarity. It was also meant to mark the 70th
anniversary of the historic Dien Bien Phu Victory, the 80th founding
anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army, and the 35th anniversary of the
All-People National Defence Festival.
