As a highlight of the commemorative activities, it vividly retraced the nation’s proud and heroic history, celebrating the monumental victory of the 1975 Spring Offensive, while highlighting the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh, the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people and armed forces, as well as the iconic image of “Uncle Ho’s soldiers” in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign. The event sought to inspire patriotism, national pride, and an aspiration for national development in the new era.
Performances unfolded across three acts, with the first demonstrating the years of division and the shared national efforts during wartime and the second capturing the spirit of solidarity and innovation in building a prosperous, socialist Vietnam in peacetime. The third act put on stage songs expressing the nation's ambition in a new era.
