76 years ago, the Call for Patriotic Emulation was born in a special historical context. After the Viet Bac Victory (Autumn-Winter 1947), following the initiative of President Ho Chi Minh, the Party Central Committee issued a Directive to launch a patriotic emulation movement, gathering the strength of patriotism and the tradition of national solidarity, creating a practical movement of action for the entire people, mobilizing all forces, all initiatives and talents of the entire people into the resistance war for national construction.

Implementing this Directive, on June 11, 1948, President Ho Chi Minh issued an appeal, officially launching the patriotic emulation campaign. 76 years have passed, the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people have launched and organized many vibrant and widespread emulation movements, contributing to creating a great driving force, encouraging and motivating compatriots and soldiers nationwide to overcome all difficulties and hardships, join hands and unite to create great victories for the nation in the cause of national liberation, national unification, building and defending the Fatherland.

Editor-in-Chief of Culture Newspaper Nguyen Anh Vu shared that time has passed, but the content, value and meaning of the Patriotic Emulation Call are still intact. The art program "Vietnam - Aspiration to Reach Far" not only looks back at the 76-year historical milestone but is also a deep gratitude of today's generation. Through the flow of music, the program's creators hope to inspire, add motivation, and multiply the love for the homeland through specific actions to continue to contribute and realize the aspiration to build a rich and beautiful Vietnam...
