A grand artistic-political event titled "Hanoi – The Epic of the Streets" took place at the historic Thang Long Imperial Citadel on October 10, marking the 70th anniversary of Hanoi's Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 – October 10, 2024).

The program was a highlight in the series of commemorative activities for this milestone.

The title "Hanoi – The Epic of the Streets" evoked the deep historical significance of the city, where every street and building testified the long, tumultuous journey from wartime devastation to the day of glorious victory.

Spanning 90 minutes, the event combined music, lighting, and advanced 3D mapping technology with documentary footage and interviews with historical witnesses, recreating the resilience and heroism of Hanoi during the most challenging times of war.

Divided into three acts, "Battlefield in the City", "Nine Years Away but Always Remembering the Capital", and "Songs of Hanoi", the performance retold the story of Hanoi's endurance.

Audiences witnessed documentaries on the intense 60-day battle to defend the city, the heroic last stand, the remarkable retreat, and the brave resistance within the city until the liberation day, all of which shaped the streets of Hanoi.

A particularly emotional moment was the reenactment of the historic Flag Raising Ceremony on the afternoon of October 10, 1954, marking the first time the national flag flew in the liberated capital.

Beyond historical retrospectives, the program also treated the audience to moving artistic performances that captured the romantic, heroic spirit of Hanoi, crafting an "epic" both visually and emotionally, grounded in the city's rich history.
