With a simple form of expression, familiar and emotional language, "100 stories of the profession" conquers readers with vivid "slices", vividly demonstrating the courage, ideals and creativity, overcoming the harsh circumstances of journalists, soldiers on the ideological - cultural front.
Readers not only feel the sweat, tears and sacrifices on the journey of a century accompanying the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation, but also "live" in a journalism that is always moving, always pioneering and constantly innovating.
Authentic, emotional, unadorned, non-fictional, exploiting valuable sources of documents such as precious photos, artifacts associated with each historical period, each specific character, the book has become a "miniature museum", truly reflecting the Vietnamese revolutionary press through typical, highly symbolic professional stories.
“From the pink brick to the revolutionary press house” recounts the journey of laying the foundation for Vietnam’s revolutionary press of Thanh Nien newspaper associated with the name of leader Nguyen Ai Quoc. “Learning to write from life and the working class” affirms that revolutionary press must be closely linked to reality, the people are the center of creativity…
Some stories left a strong impression on journalists Truong Chinh and Xuan Thuy such as "The incident of losing the box of printing paper", "Doing journalism on a bamboo bed"...
“The story behind the photo of two soldiers” by journalist Chu Chi Thanh - a testament to the power of reconciliation through images.
The picture "Two soldiers".
Besides, "For every journalist to truly be a secretary of the times" by journalist Ha Dang opens up reflections on the role of social orientation of the press in the period of innovation.
The story of the famous phrase “Bright eyes, pure heart, sharp pen” by journalist Huu Tho sets a standard for sustainable careers.
“From a soldier who loves writing to a teacher of journalism” is a truthful account by journalist Ta Ngoc Tan about his personal passions and his career in journalism training.
Not only is it a story of each individual, “100 career stories” is also a vivid memory of press agencies - the “milestones” associated with each historical period.
From the journey of building Nhan Dan Newspaper - the mouthpiece of the Central Party, to the process of forming Tin Tuc (Vietnam News Agency) under urgent and pressured conditions.
Saigon Giai Phong newspaper , born right after the country's reunification, carried on its shoulders the great responsibility of ideological work in a land that had once been divided.
It is impossible not to mention other forms of media such as radio, television, and documentaries - with the first news bulletins from Voice of Vietnam , the first broadcast frames of Vietnam Television , or films produced by the Central Documentary and Scientific Film Studio - all of which contributed to creating a comprehensive and vivid revolutionary press.
In the current context, when Vietnamese press is facing many challenges from fierce competition with social networks, pressure from false information to the decline of professional ethics in some individual cases, "100 professional stories" is not only a book to look back on, but also a book to ponder.
The book conveys the message: in any period, whether it is a fierce war or a turbulent peacetime, journalists still need to maintain revolutionary ideals, professional ethics and the courage to commit.
“100 Career Stories” is not only a book to look back on, but also a book to ponder.
Journalism is not just a profession, but a mission - a mission to convey the truth, spread good values, reflect the breath of the times and contribute to the protection of the Party's ideological foundation, social development, and maintaining public trust.
For young journalists today, who are standing at the threshold of choice, wondering between fast - slow, true - false, right - wrong, "100 professional stories" is like a "professional lamp" illuminating the path ahead.
Sharing about the book, MSc. Nguyen Thai Binh - Deputy Director of the National Political Publishing House Truth said that the stories mentioned in the book are not only the stories of a person, a newspaper or a specific publisher, but also the journey of the whole nation.

Through each page of the book, readers will see a comprehensive picture, a vivid epic of Vietnamese journalism and publishing, spanning from the first "red brick" of Thanh Nien newspaper in 1925 to the mouse clicks of the digital journalism era.
From the specific stories of initiative, innovation, courage and sacrifice of the predecessors, the young generation of journalists can learn many valuable lessons, from the careful attitude when holding a pen, the spirit of continuous learning, honesty in reporting to the noble social responsibility that every reporter and editor must carry with them when working. That is not only a story of the past, but also a "compass" for the present and the future.
Journalism and publishing is a quiet, difficult, and hard-working profession, but one that is very proud. Every journalist and publisher must be the one who brings information that promotes social progress and helps people live better lives. That is the spirit of journalism and publishing, fighting for good things, that predecessors in the profession have devotedly pursued. Perhaps it is this precious silence that has created lifelong journalism and publishing publications, and “100 stories of the profession” is a testament.
MSc. Nguyen Thai Binh - Deputy Director of the National Political Publishing House Truth.
With serious investment in content, form and materials, “100 stories of the profession” deserves to be a special mark on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Vietnam’s revolutionary press, not only to pay tribute to the past, but also to inspire the present and the future. A century has passed, and from the stories told today, there will surely be more young people who are more steadfast on the journey of journalism, a journey that is not easy but full of glory.
