April 30 this year marks 49 years since the red flag with the golden star was proudly waved on the roof of the Independence Palace, unifying the north and south of the country. Let’s take a visit to Từ Vân village in Hanoi’s outlying district of Thường Tín, where these vibrant national flags are made.
Vietnam’s national flag was hoisted together with those of 10 other Southeast Asian countries at Manahan Stadium in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia on July 27, marking the official presence of the Vietnamese sports delegation to the 11th ASEAN Para Games.
Tu Van villagers proudly say that their village sewed the national flags on September 2, 1945. And after 75 years, this year, they are still diligently continuing their work to produce the best flags.
September 5 has long been considered the first day of the new academic year for Vietnamese pupils. The day features a joyful atmosphere and excitement with colourful flowers and flags.
