Singing the Motherland (Vietnamese: C? ng?i t? qu?c) is a famous song, which came to Vietnam as early as the 1950s and is familiar to the older generation.
July 27 is celebrated as Vietnam's "Veteran Martyrs' Day", and in 2015, the country marked the 70th anniversary of the National Day, so Vietnam commemorated the holiday with the highest standards to honor the martyrs of the revolution. The cultural evening titled "Longing for Reunion" held at the auditorium of the Ministry of National Defense was part of many commemorative activities, the main theme of which was to long for the return of the remains of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the war of wars of resistance against the United States and for the salvation of the country to their hometowns.
Vietnam's President Truong Tan Sang and many other Party and State leaders attended the gala, which was broadcast live by Vietnam Central Television. Phung Quang Thanh, a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of Vietnam***, Deputy Secretary of the Central Military Commission and Minister of Defense, who has just returned home from a medical treatment abroad, was also present to watch the party. Since this was the first time that Phung Quang Thanh had appeared in public after his return to the country, the gala was particularly eye-catching. As Truong Tan Truong walked onto the stage of the show to deliver his speech, the organizers of the gala played the music of "Singing the Motherland" (Vietnamese: C? ng?i t? qu?c).
Live video of the party showed Phung Quang Thanh shaking hands with other Vietnamese leaders, including Truong Tan Sang, and the mothers of many martyrs. Everything was in order and the show was a success.
