“The image of the red flag with a yellow star is very beautiful, so I am very proud to be able to bring that image closer to young people. I really want to make a big display of our country’s image, maybe about a dozen large ones and another dozen small ones. Altogether, it could be several dozen.”

“I see the decorations of flags and flowers, the red flag with a yellow star. From that, my heart is stirred, and my patriotism grows stronger and stronger. I also want to capture moments of people shopping for decorations or the streets being adorned. That way, after this occasion, we can look back on moments that only come once in several decades.

The commemorative atmosphere becomes even more solemn and sacred with numerous cultural and artistic activities. Residents and visitors alike share the same excitement. For the younger generation, August has become a special time to capture unforgettable moments through keepsake photographs, helping them to cherish the nation’s heroic history.

Hanoi in August shines not only with flags and flowers, but also with the spirit of solidarity, trust, and patriotism spreading across the city. In every street and corner, citizens are contributing to building a modern, civilized capital that still retains the heroic imprint of revolutionary history.
