Lao Cai Youth "Drink water, remember its source"

Recently, Lao Cai Provincial Youth Union coordinated to organize a special political activity for cadres, union members and youth with the theme "Welcoming the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification".

Unlike previous activities, this political activity was organized in a new format, which was to watch the film “Tunnels: Sun in the Dark”. This is a film with great historical value, recreating the indomitable fighting spirit, intelligence and creativity of our army and people in the resistance war against the US to save the country.

After watching the historical film, the general feeling of me and the youth union members is that we are more proud of the heroic revolutionary tradition, the contributions and sacrifices of previous generations to make the country peaceful, independent, unified, and prosperous as it is today. Our young generation will follow in our footsteps, continue to strive, study, and work to contribute to building our country and homeland to be more prosperous.

Schools organized many meaningful activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation Day.

In the early 70s of the last century, joining the ranks of young people across the country joining the army to support the southern front, Mr. Do Dinh Hai, from Vach village, Cam Duong commune, Lao Cai city, also volunteered to go to war. Throughout the southern battlefield, Mr. Hai and his fellows fought bravely and then joined the liberation army marching to Saigon to celebrate the joy of total victory.

After returning from the army, Mr. Hai suffered from the after-effects of Agent Orange, a deadly poison that not only affected him but also his children and grandchildren's health for a long time to come.

During a friendly chat with local officials and union members, Mr. Hai enthusiastically told about the memories of the time of war with pride clearly visible on his face. Receiving a gift of gratitude from the youth of Lao Cai city, Mr. Hai was touched by the affection of the local union members and youth.
