Recent floods have caused severe damage in many provinces and cities across the country, including many communes and districts of Yen Bai province, resulting in dozens of dead and missing, submerging hundreds of houses and destroying animals and plants.

Consequently, the People's Army Newspaper in cooperation with the Voice of Vietnam, the Vietnam Economic News and other relevant agencies and units, co-organized an art performance to mark Vietnamese Women’s Day (October 20, 1930) and 67 years since the People’s Army Newspaper published the first issue (October 20, 1950). Via this program, the organizing panel wanted to raise funds to help flood-hit people ease their difficulties and losses caused by recent floods and heavy rains.
