Hanoi (VNA) - An exhibition, named “The Roar of the Red River”, is underway at the Hoa Lo Prison relic site, reviving memories of the atmosphere of the Hanoi Liberation Day on October 10, 69 years ago.

The exhibition has two parts, with the first featuring Hanoi’s preparations for a long resistance war following President Ho Chi Minh’s appeal for national resistance against the French.

In this section, visitors can learn about Hanoi at the time it was under French occupation, when local residents rose up against the colonial government in various forms, such as conducting ambushes against the enemy's troops, distributing leaflets and hanging the national flag.

The second part highlights the significance of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954, which forced the French to sign the Geneva Accords and withdraw their troops from northern Vietnam.

Under the Party’s leadership, Hanoi residents staunchly fought against the enemy’s sabotage plots to protect the city and keep it intact before the revolutionary army moved in on October 10, 1954.

The photos and artefacts re-create the atmosphere of the liberation day, when the army was split into many units and made a historic march into the capital city in the welcome of local residents.

The exhibition will remain open to visitors until December 31, 2023./.
