The music programme aimed to connect the past, the present and the future and depict a period when all people followed the Party’s appeal to contribute to the fight, thus helping the audience further understand the significance of the victory that “resounded across the five continents and shook the globe”, he noted.

The original panorama painting, showcased at the Dien Bien Phu Victory Museum, depicts the Dien Bien Phu battlefield in different times from late 1953 to May 7, 1954. It features 4,500 characters and describes the entire battle, including the opening combat at Him Lam Hill, the Hill A1 battle, and the ultimate triumph.
