Exhibition of national achievements: Unique and impressive "one-of-a-kind" artifacts

On the third day (August 30), right on the weekend, a large number of visitors of all ages came to the National Achievement Exhibition "80 years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness" (Dong Anh commune, Hanoi) to admire the "unique" artifacts - from items bearing precious historical marks, to modern technology and projection models of ministries, branches and localities. Each artifact not only reminds us of the past but also spreads the pride and aspirations for development of the country today.

At the exhibition booth of the Government Office , for the first time, the public can admire the special seals of the Government of Vietnam - the seals that have accompanied the nation throughout the 80-year journey of building and developing the country. These are not only administrative artifacts but also historical marks, preserving the story of the formation, development and affirmation of the country's position in the international arena.

The first seals of the Government and Prime Minister of Vietnam after the August Revolution in 1945 were not only administrative tools but also symbols of sovereignty and legitimacy of an independent state. The seal on each legal document is a strong declaration of the presence of an autonomous, legitimate government in the international arena. Throughout the journey of resistance and nation building, seals such as "Prime Minister's Office" and "Government Office" have been closely associated with the country's governance, demonstrating the legal role of the state apparatus.

Many of the displayed seals bear a strong historical imprint, such as those of the Southern Resistance Committee, the Foreign Economic Liaison Committee, the Private Industry and Commerce Reform Committee, or Group 959 in Laos... Each seal is evidence of the Government's efforts in organizing the resistance, stabilizing the economy, expanding diplomacy, and strengthening international solidarity. In particular, some "top secret" seals such as T.80 or Inspection Committee 12 also show the strictness and flexibility in state management during wartime.

Mr. Nguyen Van, nearly 80 years old (in Gia Lam ward, Hanoi) was extremely surprised when looking at the small seals that carry great responsibilities. “Each seal is not only an administrative artifact but also a living testament to a heroic historical period, marking fundamental decisions, affirming the mettle and will of Vietnam on the path to gaining and maintaining national independence. Looking at the seals, many memories come back to me,” Mr. Nguyen Van shared.

The Ministry of National Defense's exhibition space at the Exhibition introduces more than 300 artifacts, including weapons, military uniforms, military provisions, copies, restorations and many logistics and technical products. The exhibition is divided into 5 areas, of which 4 areas recreate historical milestones of the Vietnam People's Army associated with the development of the country, and an area to experience the application of 3D technology and modern lighting effects.

The exhibition booth made a strong impression with modern weapons and equipment produced in Vietnam, especially unmanned aerial vehicles. Particularly attractive to visitors was the shooting simulation area because here, if people patiently queued, they would experience the feeling of shooting a gun that was simulated and realistic "down to every shake and jerk".

Ms. Nguyen Thanh Loan (Bach Khoa Ward, Hanoi) who has fired a real gun in many police drills shared: “It must be acknowledged that the scale and level of Vietnam's defense technology are now modern and developed. The simulated shooting system has high recoil, bringing a very vivid feeling of real combat. If you have the chance, everyone should try it when visiting the Exhibition.”

In the exhibition space of the Voice of Vietnam - VOV, a "giant" loudspeaker stands out and attracts everyone's special attention. Placed in a central, solemn position, the loudspeaker is large, old, and has the color of time and especially bears historical bullet holes. The loudspeaker was once installed on a mobile vehicle, operating along the North bank of the Ben Hai River, near Hien Luong Bridge (Quang Tri) during the period when the country was divided (1955-1966).

With a capacity of 500W, the sound can be heard up to 10km away, becoming an important "fighting voice" in the propaganda loudspeaker system of the North, directly confronting the enemy's propaganda system from the South. Unlike fixed loudspeaker clusters, this mobile loudspeaker can move flexibly, broadcasting programs of the Voice of Vietnam Radio Station and Vinh Linh Radio Station, conveying the Party's policies, patriotism and the image of the socialist North.

Along with war information, cultural and artistic programs were also broadcast: music, drama, folk songs, etc., contributing to improving people's spiritual life and encouraging their fighting spirit. At times, the radio program lasted 14-15 hours a day, even overnight. Not only a communication device, this loudspeaker is also a vivid symbol of the information struggle during wartime, demonstrating the great role of revolutionary media in fostering belief, will and spirit of great national unity - an indispensable part of the victory of the cause of national reunification.

The exhibition space of Vietnam Airlines at the Exhibition is in the outdoor area, with an area of ​​1,500m² - the largest among the aviation units, located in the center of the "Aspiration for the Sky" area. With the message "Take off with the country", the open exhibition space is designed like an experiential flight, recreating 30 years of development of Vietnam Airlines.

Mr. Vu Duy Tu (Hung Yen province) brought his whole family to visit the exhibition. The “life-size” airplane model attracted the attention of his children, so Mr. Tu spent nearly an hour exploring this area.

The first impression from the entrance of the area is the design of the bird's wings spreading out and a huge LED screen, with many documentary images related to the Vietnamese aviation industry. Passing through diverse and modern display areas such as the check-in area simulating the check-in service, the luxurious Lotus lounge, the wide-body aircraft passenger cabin with Internet service, virtual reality, entertainment systems and high-class amenities...

The space is designed in a series of 5 emotional journeys, leading visitors through the history, services, technology, future vision and global position of Vietnam Airlines. In the Airbus A320/321 simulated cockpit area, people can experience the feeling of taking off and landing like a real pilot. This is truly a feeling of excitement, surprise, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Right in front of the entrance to Hall H5 of Kim Quy Exhibition House, the “Red Flamboyant” train car was set up as an interesting stop for visitors to comfortably board the train to take photos and experience. In particular, the red train car model was vividly recreated along with the S-Journey train car model, clearly evoking the real journey.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuong (Tay Ho Ward, Hanoi) said that she was very surprised when she entered the train compartments. The interior of the train compartments was designed in the Indochinese style, giving a feeling of both nostalgia and modernity. After the tour, she plans to take her family on a food-tour of Hai Phong by train.

In this area, many young people are excited to take photos and explore every detail on the train. The presence of the "Red Flamboyant" train model not only evokes familiar memories of old train trips but also brings a new image of an interesting experiential tourism product. The display of the train is also a way to promote Hai Phong tourism as well as Vietnam's railway tourism.
