Bustling National Day celebration

The streets in Hanoi are brightly decorated with red flags with yellow stars.

The capital Hanoi in the last days of August seemed to put on a new, brilliant coat. All the streets were lined with red flags with yellow stars, banners, slogans, and decorative lights to celebrate National Day, September 2. That scene ignited pride in the hearts of the people, aroused patriotism, and the desire to develop the country.

Ms. Le Thi Ha (60 years old, Hoan Kiem ward) shared: “Celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day this year, red flags, lights and flowers are everywhere, everyone is happy. This is an occasion to review history and also an opportunity for the young generation to affirm their position and role in the cause of building a rich and civilized country.”

The atmosphere of preparation for the country’s important holiday is clearly visible through every window, balcony of the house or along the streets. The central streets such as Hang Chao, Hang Ma, Hang Luoc,… are brightly decorated with red flags with yellow stars.

The flags are hung close together, forming a row of red flags with yellow stars fluttering, stretching the entire street. Even if it is just a small balcony or a modest window, many people still do not forget to hang the national flag as a way to express their passionate patriotism. Many tourists are excited, continuously recording these special moments with cameras and phones.

Thanh Thuy (21 years old, living in Ho Chi Minh City) excitedly said: “My friends and I went to Hanoi for a trip . Walking on the central streets these days is really special. The atmosphere is both bustling and exciting but no less solemn, making me feel the spirit of national pride.”

Not only in Hanoi, in many localities across the country, the atmosphere to celebrate National Day is also extremely exciting. In Tay Ninh , many coffee shops are decorated with colorful flags and flowers to join in the joyful atmosphere to celebrate September 2.

At a coffee shop on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street (Tan Ninh Ward, Tay Ninh Province), the space is divided into many shooting angles, the words "Independence - Freedom - Happiness" combined with the map of Vietnam, the red flag with yellow star, books, newspapers and old objects, etc. create an extremely harmonious and meaningful scene.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa (40 years old, living in Ninh Thanh ward, Tay Ninh province) said: “These days, wherever I go, I see the bustling atmosphere of celebrating National Day. Sitting and enjoying coffee in a space with the national flag hanging, I feel very proud of the heroic historical tradition of our ancestors, from which I remind myself to live responsibly, contribute, preserve and protect the Fatherland”.

A notable highlight of this year’s holiday is the strong spread of “patriotic” fashion. Products printed with the red flag with yellow star, T-shirts, Ao Dai, accessories with the slogans “Proud of Vietnam”, “Independence – Freedom – Happiness”, etc. are sold everywhere from traditional markets to e-commerce platforms.

Ms. Tran Thi Nga, a clothing retailer in Tan Ninh Ward, shared: “This year, the demand for products associated with the 80th anniversary of National Day has increased. People want to have a meaningful outfit to wear to take pictures with family and relatives, to join in the bustling atmosphere of the great holiday as a way to express patriotism.”

On central streets, historical sites or coffee shops, the images of children, young people and even middle-aged people radiantly dressed in national costumes have contributed to spreading the spirit of patriotism in a close and natural way. It can be seen that “patriotic” fashion does not stop at the aspect of beauty but is also a way to remind the younger generation of the resilient struggle of our ancestors to gain independence and freedom today.

Tran Hoang (residing in Long Hoa ward, Tay Ninh province) confided: “For me, wearing a T-shirt with the words “Proud of Vietnam” printed on it, standing under the national flag or historical sites, scenic spots to take beautiful photos and post them on social networks, joining the whole country in celebrating National Day is also a way to contribute to spreading the spirit of patriotism”.

For many young people, National Day September 2 is not only associated with national history, recalling the sacrifices of previous generations, but also has a bustling atmosphere throughout the streets with the red flag with yellow star flying brightly. Those will be beautiful memories, nurturing love for the homeland and country from the simplest things. From there, the young generation is not only proud of tradition, but also ready to contribute to building the country in the new era, respecting and promoting cultural values, and behaving civilly so that the image of the country becomes more and more beautiful in the eyes of international friends./.
