Schools organized many meaningful activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation Day.

In the early 70s of the last century, joining the ranks of young people across the country joining the army to support the southern front, Mr. Do Dinh Hai, from Vach village, Cam Duong commune, Lao Cai city, also volunteered to go to war. Throughout the southern battlefield, Mr. Hai and his fellows fought bravely and then joined the liberation army marching to Saigon to celebrate the joy of total victory.

After returning from the army, Mr. Hai suffered from the after-effects of Agent Orange, a deadly poison that not only affected him but also his children and grandchildren's health for a long time to come.

During a friendly chat with local officials and union members, Mr. Hai enthusiastically told about the memories of the time of war with pride clearly visible on his face. Receiving a gift of gratitude from the youth of Lao Cai city, Mr. Hai was touched by the affection of the local union members and youth.
