The authors collected thousands of portrait photos of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong at events and activities in different positions with different emotional nuances over time. Each small photo associated with a specific activity is a story in itself. However, combining thousands of small images to create a portrait of the General Secretary gives viewers unexpected emotions about the convergence of moments about the life and career of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. Just as calligrapher Le Thien Ly felt:
"Thousands of IMAGES form the souls of mountains and rivers,
Thousands of IMAGES transform into the FIGURE of great men."
What's special is that the work is highly appreciated for the meticulousness in selecting and arranging thousands of small photos in the appropriate position for each colour tone of the giant portrait and for the execution of the above work. Tempered glass material with translucent technology creates transparency and almost eternal durability.

According to Journalist Vuong Xuan Nguyen, Director of the Institute of Arts, Culture and Economics, the choice of tempered glass material with high durability and transparency is the author's intention to convey the message: General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's entire life has been as simple as grains of silt deposited on his hometown river, through many hardships and challenges, he has constantly strived to become an increasingly "indestructible diamond" bright and immortal with time.
"Through the implementation of the above work, we want to express our infinite gratitude to the great contributions of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, a transcendent intellect, a cultural ideologue, and an idealist of the Party; the excellent student who constantly studied and followed the ideology, ethics, and style of the great President Ho Chi Minh, and lived and fought devotedly for the Revolutionary Cause of our Party and People and Nation!", journalist Vuong Xuan Nguyen said emotionally.
