Special art programme “Peaceful Homeland” held in Da Nang

The event was attended by Member of the Politburo and Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang; Member of the Politburo and Chairman of the Central Inspection Commission Tran Sy Thanh; Member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Minister of Public Security Senior Lieutenant General Pham The Tung; and Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee Le Ngoc Quang.

Set against the illuminated backdrop of the Han River, the programme became a contemporary epic, presenting a vivid historical stream through modern stage language and large-scale real-scene performance techniques.

With an elaborate artistic format, the programme revived the glorious 80-year development journey with great deal of sacrifice in the fight against enemies and crimes throughout the national history of the People’s Public Security Forces, which inspired the audience’s pride and confidence in the mission of safeguarding national peace and security.

Chapter I, “The Stream of Peace,” opened with a grand parade across Dragon Bridge, with the participation of more than 700 public security officers, enlistees and civilians.

Chapter II, “The Shield of Peace,” offered a reflective experience through documentary footage and staged reenactments depicting the People’s Public Security Forces’ great effort to safeguard national security in different historical periods.

Chapter III, “Epic of Peace,” made the audience overflow their feelings while a Han River section was turned into a large-scale outdoor stage with the combination of music, lighting, mapping and multimedia effects.

During the programme, renowned Vietnamese artists, including My Tam, Vo Ha Tram, Duong Hoang Yen and Nguyen Dong Hung performed grand songs, creating emotional highlights and a close connection between art and the audience.

A particularly solemn moment was the torch-lighting ceremony,  symbolizing the passing of the revolutionary ideal from the previous generation to the present. It became extremely fantastic when a big flame shone brightly along Dragon Bridge.

At 21:15, the skies above the Han River were illuminated by a fireworks display, bringing the programme to an end with the audience’s pride and deep emotion.
