(HBO) - Students, teachers and residents in Tan Lac district, Hoa Binh, in April have engaged in an exhibition featuring maps and documents on Vietnam’s Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos.
Students and teachers of
Tan Lac High School study maps and historical documents displayed at the
exhibition.
The
exhibition was held at Tan Lac High School from April 8-12 and Muong Bi High
School from April 15-19, and is underway at the Lung Van community-based
learning centre from April 22-26.
Apart
from 171 valuable maps and documents on Truong Sa and Hoang Sa, and a 3D
exhibition model, the exhibition included talks on sea and islands presented by
soldiers who have directly protected national sovereignty over sea and islands.
Visitors
to the event heard interpretations of the displayed documents by exhibit
workers and set up applications that allow the download of documents to present
them at their offices and schools.
The
documents and objects are among legal and historical evidence collected at home
and abroad, including China, which assert Hoang Sa and Truong Sa as an integral
part of Vietnam’s territory. The archipelagoes have been preserved by generations
of Vietnamese who have worked hard to affirm Vietnam’s sovereignty over the
archipelagoes for hundreds of years.
Bui
Duc Minh, a resident in Quy Hau commune, said he and his comrades went to Truong
Sa many years ago to support soldiers on the archipelago. "I
feel touched when visiting the exhibition,” the nearly 70-year-old man said,
adding that spoken stories are not strong like these photos to recreate the
history. This
is a practical activity to educate young people about the national traditions./.
