Duy Tan Dream
The conference was honored to welcome Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh, a former Vice-President of Vietnam, Mr. Pham Chanh Truc, former Deputy Secretary of HCM City Party, Doctor Huynh Tan Mam, former Chairman of Saigon Students Association and four hundred scientists, writers and participants in the southern anti-war movement. Mr. Le Cong Co, DTU Chairman & Provost, who was the leader of this movement in Hue, led the conference.
A participant from Ho Chi Minh City stated: “We are putting together pieces of the past to complete a jigsaw, which will prove to be valuable evidence for future generations”.
Songs performed at the conference brought them back to the glorious days. They sang with all their emotion, from the bottom of their hearts, just as they did in the old days.
“This is a reunion of the people who gave most for national independence. Today we are gathered here to look back to the spirit of the past and inspire the next generation. We cannot predict if we will be alive tomorrow but your contribution to independence will remain forever”, said Mr. Le Cong Co at the end of the conference.
As a result of the conference, the values of the patriotic student movement, intellectuals and artists of the southern urban areas from 1945 to 1975 were recalled, so that the younger generation can now more easily understand our history and stay devoted to Vietnam.
