The working trip to the Spratly Archipelago lasted 18 days, but for me, the emotions in my heart are forever filled with years, when I "touched" the sacred waves. Tearful, I looked up at the proudly flying National Flag, imprinting the national image on waves, carrying the image of a resilient soldier in the open sea, and bursting into a heroic song: "The Fatherland’s echoes from the sea..."

The sketches created by Artist Nguyen Van Nguyen successfully depict the heroic historical years of the resistance war fought by the people and soldiers of Binh Tri Thien against the US. These sketches accurately portrayed the lives of compatriots and soldiers during this time. Many of these works were composed during the war and were introduced to the public for the first time in an exhibition titled “Memory Land”.

Located on the most beautiful - Le Loi Street - in Hue city, the park is covered with the canopies of green tree rows. Visitors can’t miss the iconic stone statues of the Vietnamese heroic soldiers, the Vietnamese girl, or the bowing man.

On the business trip, I recorded my emotions of the naval soldiers with all my heart. The trip covered the reporters from many central and local newspapers, radio stations, and the Naval Region 3 working delegation, who boarded the ship KN-390 patrolling the sea to visit and extend New Year's greetings to officers, soldiers and people on Con Co and Ly Son islands.

“Thank you Hue city, for bringing such loving hearts to Saigon. The work is hectic, but the doctors always treat the patients with soft, sympathetic words…”. Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City in "windy" days was still warm with the white-coat soldiers on the front lines of pandemic prevention and control. People from far away come to join the city to "fight the enemy"_ COVID-19.
