โจ COMMEMORATING HANOI LIBERATION DAY (10 OCTOBER) ๐ป๐ณ
FROM THE HEROIC FORTIFICATION TO THE PEACEFUL HANOI TODAY ๐๏ธ
In the painting "Fortification" by artist Le Anh Van, Hanoi is vividly brought to life during the heroic National Resistance days in the winter of 1946. Amidst the debris and devastation of war, resilient soldiers stand resolute alongside poignant, everyday details such as a vase of fresh flowers crafted from an artillery shell casing, or a rooster perched proudly on high. These delicate touches evoke an unwavering optimism and a steadfast faith in victory despite the grueling years of hardship.
As we celebrate Capital Liberation Day on 10 October, let us look back at "Fortification" to cherish the historical values that have shaped Hanoi into what it is today - a city that holds deep within its heart the memories of resilient years and an enduring spirit of vitality. ๐ธ๐ฟ
