Representatives of the "Sao Dau Hat" group presented an electronic library to the Saigon-Gia Dinh Special Forces Museum.

For you, history is not just old pages or dry events but a part of vivid memories associated with each individual, community and nation.

However, many young people today are gradually losing their connection with the past and the precious historical values of the country.

Representatives of the "Sao Dau Hat" group presented an electronic library to the Saigon - Gia Dinh Special Forces Museum.

To realize the idea, the project team built and presented the Saigon - Gia Dinh Special Forces Museum with a website and electronic library. This is a digital space created to store, systematize and disseminate the legacy of the legendary Saigon Special Forces.

This website is a valuable archive, preserving information, images and stories about Saigon commandos. More than 200 documentary photos have been digitally restored by the group, helping to vividly and clearly recreate heroic historical moments.

Nguyen Huu Truong, a student at FPT University (Public Relations Manager of the "Sao Dau Mu" project), shared: "In this digital library museum project, we chose to restore historical photos and stories with the desire to bring them closer to young people.

Our photo sources come from two main sources: images of Saigon Special Forces and the second is from Vietnam News Agency.

When we received the old, blurred or smudged photos, we applied technology to make them clearer, show the details and restore them to make the photos more beautiful and vivid.

Viewers can use their hands to move left or right to see the changes before and after the photo is restored.

Also during the electronic library donation ceremony, the “Sao Dau Mu” group also coordinated with the Saigon - Gia Dinh Special Forces Museum to organize the talk show “A Symphony of 45-05-25” so that the younger generation could meet, listen and dialogue with living witnesses who had gone through a fiery time of the nation.

Mr. Lam Quoc Dung, a soldier of the Saigon Special Forces, emotionally shared: "It is extremely necessary for today's young generation to learn about national history, especially the history of their ancestors right in this city."
