The program draws its inspiration from the historic Ha Dong District, a place steeped in the rich cultural heritage of Northern Vietnam's Delta region.
The legendary People’s Artist Le Chuc, renowned for her “golden voice,” captivated the audience at the Ha Dong commemorative event, Ha Dong, the Sacred Land Rising Up to Flourish.

Author and director Le The Song drew inspiration from the district’s deep-rooted history, talented residents, and unique cultural identity of the Northern Delta, infusing the program with a sense of pride and community.
“The people of Ha Dong District have endured challenging times, including periods of war and hardship,” Song remarked. “Their resilience and unity shine through as they build a new and beautiful future, contributing to the capital’s development.”
The performance blended contemporary dance and melodic tributes to the land and people of Ha Dong, with a special nod to the vibrant city of Hanoi. The narrative, delivered by People’s Artist Le Chuc, emphasized the district’s significance with a warm and emotional tone.
