Cozy Mid-autumn festival in Truong Sa Special Zone
PANO - On October 4, officers and soldiers of Brigade 146 under Naval Region 4, together with the local authorities of the Truong Sa Special Zone of Khanh Hoa Province, organized a “Full-Moon Festival” for children on the islands of Truong Sa (Spratly), Song Tu Tay (Southwest Cay), Sinh Ton (Sin Cowe), and Da Tay (West London Reef).
The festival was filled with warmth and laughter. The lively lion dance performances and musical numbers presented by officers, soldiers, teachers, and students created a joyful and memorable evening under the full moon. The children listened to the Mid-Autumn festival letter from the State President, sharing the same festive spirit as millions of other children across the country.
On this occasion, Brigade 146 and Truong Sa Special Zone presented 500 Mid-Autumn gifts to children of officers and staff members currently serving in the Truong Sa Archipelago. Though modest, these gifts carried heartfelt affection from the mainland, conveying encouragement and love, inspiring the children to study well, behave kindly, and be worthy of being Uncle Ho’s good children.
