An overview of the seminar |
Gen. Bo said that many Vietnamese young generations have grown up, loved the Fatherland, the military more and had strong will after they have had access to literary and art works on Uncle Ho’s soldiers.
During the seminar, delegates talked about the position and role of literature and art in building stance and personality of Uncle Ho’s soldiers, the real situation of literary and art works on Uncle Ho’s soldiers in recent years. They also discussed how to compose high quality works on soldiers in the current period, and responsibility of the political system and leaders of units to strengthen Uncle Ho’s soldiers’ stance and personality via literary and art works.
Confirming the values of art and literature in building the stance and personality of Uncle Ho’s soldiers, Professor Phong Le spoke highly of the contribution of composers, especially those in the military.
Assoc. Prof., Dr. Ton Phuong Lan suggested composing literary and art works associated with history and culture and orienting young readers.
According to Assoc. Prof., Dr. Nguyen The Ky, Chairman of the Central Council for Theory and Criticism of Literature and Art, the life of today’s troops is different. Thus, composers must experience the life of troops to be fully-aware of them. Ky highlighted images of soldiers in the front-line of COVID-19 combat, search and rescue operations, and border management and protection, among others. He noted that compositions should give good orientations so that readers and viewers could know difficulties and challenges facing soldiers and their great efforts.
In his concluding speech, Gen. Bo thanked delegates for their opinions. He hoped that composers would help spread Uncle Ho’s soldiers’ stance and personality in the current period.
