An four-week exhibition featuring forty-eight black and white photos of the gallant soldiers return opened at Kim Ngan Communal House in Hanoi on October 4 to mark the 60th anniversary of Liberation Day (October 10).

Dinh Hong Phong, Vice Chairman of the Hoan Kiem precinct People’s Committee, said the exhibition “Hanoi – Liberation Day” will help rekindle the spirit of the more than 200,000 Hanoians from all walks of life, who with banners and flowers in hand, took to the streets in song and dance on the glorious occasion.
