“Spreading Old Vinh - Hanoi 2022” aims to help the public have a different image of Vinh, as a leading industrial, technological and commercial city in Central Vietnam during the French colonial period. Thereby, fostering more love for the city, making people more nostalgic for the old Vinh, more concerned with the present Vinh.
"The program is also an event that contributes to recreating Vinh as it used to be. For today, what we need and can do now is to research and filter the values of Vinh in the past, so that those values are not lost, but on the contrary, are remembered, preserved and developed. Hopefully, Vinh values and Vinh identity will always be the concern of leaders and managers and all those who love Vinh", said Mr. Pham Xuan Can, founder of the "Old Vinh" group.
"Therefore, events like this are extremely necessary to inspire Vinh of the past, to ponder about Vinh of the present. To make Vinh, a large city in the North Central region, worthy of the title of a "very old and very young" urban area.
On October 16, 2022 (Sunday morning), a meeting and exchange between Vinh lovers will take place. Here, researcher Pham Xuan Can, founder of the Vinh Xua group (with 40,000 members) will give a presentation introducing the appearance of Vinh city during the French colonial period.
