Hanoi (VNA) – To mark the 81st anniversary of the succesful August Revolution (August 19, 1945–2026) and Vietnam’s National Day (September 2, 1945–2026), the Hanoi Cultural and Library Centre is hosting a thematic exhibition on the historic revolution of 1945 at 47 Ba Trieu street, Cua Nam ward.
Featuring more than 300 documents, books and newspapers, the display highlights the role of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh in the victory of the August Revolution, the historical significance and epochal stature of the 1945 Declaration of Independence, as well as Vietnam’s journey of renewal, international integration and development.
Through the materials exhibited, visitors can revisit the historic days of the autumn of 1945, when the General Uprising took place across the country, freeing the Vietnamese people from oppression and enabling them to become owners of their country and their own destiny.
Of particular note are numerous documents introducing the events of September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, where President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming to the Vietnamese people and the world the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and ushering in a new era of national independence.
Beyond providing historical information, the exhibition seeks to bring the values of the past closer to the public, particularly younger generations. Through books, newspapers and archival materials, visitors have an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices and losses endured by previous generations, thereby developing a greater appreciation of the values of today's independence, freedom and peace.
According to the organisers, the exhibition contributes to promoting patriotic traditions, fostering national pride, and inspiring a sense of responsibility and a desire to contribute to the cause of national construction and development.
It will remain open to the public until September 5, 2026./.
