During these special days, many young people in Son La have chosen to wear traditional ao dai, holding the beloved red flag with yellow star and walking on the streets with bright national flags to record meaningful moments and arouse national pride.

Em Mua Thi Cuc, Tay Bac University, Son La city:“As a young person, a Vietnamese person, these days we wear this costume to show our national pride and dignity. Taking pictures with traditional costumes to celebrate the big holiday, at the same time also want to spread the love of homeland and country to everyone.”

Not just an emotion, many young people have turned their love for the Fatherland into concrete actions to always remind themselves to try harder every day:

Ms. Lo Thi Hieng, group 6, Chieng Sinh ward, Son La city:“During the days when the whole country is looking forward to April 30, I feel very proud to be a child of Vietnam. As a young generation, I will try my best to contribute to building my homeland and country.”

As for Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha Trang, owner of a coffee shop in Group 6, Quyet Thang Ward, faith and patriotism are conveyed through every living space. The national flag road leading to the coffee shop or the elaborately decorated walls are the ways her family is spreading love for the homeland and country to everyone around.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha Trang, group 6, Quyet Thang ward, Son La city:“Responding to the patriotic movement and the upcoming April 30th, a very special holiday, I want to spread to young people, students, and the young generation the most wonderful patriotism. So that young people always remember that April 30th is the occasion we remember the most.”

Love for the Fatherland and national pride do not lie in great things, but begin with simple actions like that. Each traditional Ao Dai color, each flag hanging on the porch, is a reminder that history does not sleep in books but exists in every breath today, through the hearts of young people who know how to love, remember and act./.
