Seventy years have passed, and the victory of Dien Bien Phu "echoing on the five continents, shaking the planet" is forever a shining milestone in the history of the Vietnamese nation.
Dien Bien Phu has made a name for Vietnam all over the world, and Dien Bien Phu will always remain in the hearts of every Vietnamese with infinite gratitude to the generation of their ancestors.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory, Vietnam Television held a series of key programs, including Under the Banner of Determination to Victory. The program has live links to Dien Bien, Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Kon Tum and Ho Chi Minh City, and will be broadcast live on VTV1 channel on May 5 at 8 pm.
With a duration of more than 110 minutes, the live program "Under the Banner of Determination to Victory" will take the audience back to the heroic years with unforgettable memories of a time of fierce struggle. The major milestones of the past 70 years will be expressed through a combination of present experiences and past memories; between art, analysis and evaluation.
The preparation of the program has been carried out by Vietnam Television since the end of 2023 with the participation of many units of the broadcaster. In particular, the Entertainment Program Production Department is the main unit in developing scripts, researching documentary sources, searching for historical witnesses to make reports.
Under the guidance of Vietnam Television leaders, the team went to each location to conduct field research, plan the content of each story in detail, and look for beautiful camera shots. In addition, VTV also worked with ministries, departments, branches and other relevant provinces and cities for effective organizational coordination.
According to the program's director, Khuat Ly Na, the name "Under the Banner of Determination to Victory" was inspired by the banner "Determination to Fight - Determination to Win" that Uncle Ho sent to the front on December 22, 1953. The rotating award encouraged the entire army to overcome difficulties and dangers.
In Dien Bien, the production team had many meetings with hundreds of veterans who fought on the Dien Bien Phu battlefield. Each of them has good and unforgettable stories about the fightings that year. Their memories helped the team visualize the atmosphere and spirit of the Dien Bien Phu campaign.
The music for the live program celebrating the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu was composed by two musicians, Luu Ha An and Thanh Phuong, specifically for the show, and what's important is that these pieces incorporate both classical melodies and the latest trends in contemporary music.
The live program commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory "Under the Banner of Determination to Victory" will be broadcast live on May 5, 2024 at 20:00 on VTV1 channel. Tune in to watch!
