The contest was conducted in the format of the “Golden Bell Challenge” game show, featuring question packages divided into four rounds: “Setting Sail,” “Riding the Waves,” “Reaching the Shore,” and “Marking Sovereignty.” The questions focused on knowledge of the sea and islands, the Law on the Vietnam Coast Guard, local history and traditions, and the harmful effects of drugs in schools.
According to Colonel Truong Van Hung, Deputy Political Commissar of Coast Guard Region 1, the contest aimed to further disseminate information among students about the viewpoints and policies of the Party and the State, as well as relevant legal documents concerning the country’s sea and islands; the heroic traditions of the Vietnam Coast Guard; and the history, traditions, and geography of Hai Phong.
Through the contest, the organizers hoped that students would demonstrate not only their knowledge, but also their sincere feelings, pure thoughts, and bright dreams, along with their pride as children of the heroic port city. The event also sought to strengthen military-civilian solidarity, foster patriotism and love for the national sea and islands, and enhance citizens’ sense of responsibility in the cause of building and firmly safeguarding the sacred maritime sovereignty of the Fatherland.
