Nguyen Trung Dung, General Director of NetMedia and chief director of the program, said the production is structured around the various names and aliases used by President Ho Chi Minh throughout his life and revolutionary career. Each name, he noted, is deeply rooted in the historical context of its era, serving a specific purpose reflective of the nation's struggle. Together, they form a lasting legacy, each bearing the imprint of a remarkable individual while capturing the spirit of the Vietnamese people and the sweeping changes of the times.
The program is divided into three segments, with the first titled “Nguyen Sinh Cung – Nguyen Tat Thanh,” focusing on the values and ideals that shaped Ho Chi Minh’s character during his formative years.
The second part, “Nguyen Ai Quoc - Ho Chi Minh,” portrays the period from 1930 to 1975 when he absorbed progressive values, sought to liberate the nation, engaged in international movements, founded the Party, and made historic contributions to the revolutionary cause, as well as during the periods of renovation, integration, and development.

His life, career, and legacy remain the driving force behind Vietnam’s ongoing pursuit of strength and progress.
The artistic performances blend traditional and contemporary elements, combining music, dance, dramatization, and advanced 3D mapping projections to create powerful visual and emotional experiences for audiences.
The event aims to offer the public a closer look at President Ho Chi Minh’s life and ideals while inspiring patriotism, noble aspirations, and a deepened commitment to serving the nation.
