[In Pictures] Images of soldiers at second parade rehearsal for A80 event

In the autumn of 1945, from the very heart of Vietnam - the capital of Hanoi, a blazing epic was born. It awakened the dream of independence and freedom in millions of hearts. The rousing call, “All compatriots, please rise up and use our own strength to liberate ourselves!” from President Ho Chi Minh’s historic letter on 18 August 1945, became the rallying cry of an era. It opened a radiant new chapter in the Vietnamese people's majestic journey to build and defend the homeland.

Eighty autumns have passed since that defining season, yet the golden light of the August Revolution (19 August 1945) and National Day (2 September 1945) continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all Vietnamese. Hanoi—the birthplace of the uprising—remains the beating heart of the nation, a sacred symbol of patriotism, unity, and unyielding spirit.

The A80 Aggregated Information Website was created to commemorate this historic milestone: the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. It serves as a distinctive digital space where the nation’s sacred values are brought to life, preserved, and shared. Through treasured documentaries, powerful speeches, vivid imagery, and immersive 3D exhibitions, the site forms a living tapestry of Vietnam’s golden milestones—a bridge connecting the past with the present, and carrying the inspiration of an indomitable nation rising to stride boldly into a new era: The Era of Nation’s rise.

This website is also a trusted hub for information related to the National Day celebrations on 2 September 2025. It offers comprehensive coverage of parades, rehearsals, exhibitions, street festivals, interactive maps, and practical guidance on security, transport, healthcare, public services, and must-visit destinations in Hanoi during this season of remembrance.

From this “sacred land with outstanding people” — the cradle of the General Uprising—Hanoi continues to affirm its role as the political, cultural, and spiritual heart of the nation. The capital proudly carries forward the unbroken current of history, embodying an enduring aspiration for peace, prosperity, and innovation in the digital age.

We firmly believe that through the modern digital space of the A80 Aggregated Information Website, the noble traditions of our nation will be honored, nurtured, and passed on to future generations. On this shared journey, every Vietnamese—at home and abroad—stands united in one belief, one pride, and one sacred mission: to keep Viet Nam eternal, to let it flourish, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great nations of the world, fulfilling the cherished dream of our beloved President Ho Chi Minh.
