SUNSHINE GLOBAL Golden Heart Fund: Light of love from far away back

Recently, in Vinh (Nghe An), nearly 600 veterans returned under a typical roof in the exchange program, seminars and special screenings of the film “Red Rain” – a film re-representing 81 days and nights of fierce fighting in Quang Tri City. This was not only a film screening, but also a journey of memory, gratitude and emotional sharing, attributing the legacy of veterans and connecting generations.

The space has three movie rooms in Nghe An.

In the solemn atmosphere of three screening rooms in Nghe An, every scene of “Red Rain” vividly re-enacted the years of bombs and bullets, where the blood and sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers were devoted to protecting every inch of the homeland. Many Nghe An veterans shed tears as they recognised themselves and their comrades on the screen.

An old Quang Tri veteran was deeply moved at the seminar: “It has been over half a century, but the memory of 81 days and nights in Quang Tri Citadel remains intact. Those were the months we lived and fought in the rain of bombs and bullets, witnessing comrades falling right next to us. We fought with the belief that the next generation would live in peace. Today, when I revisited Red Rain and saw the younger generation sitting with us in the theatre, I felt our sacrifices were worthy. I hope the younger generation will never forget that peace is thanks to the sacrifices of those who came before and that they live worthwhile lives to contribute to building a prosperous country.

The “Red Rain” seminar was a touching connection between veterans and the younger generation.

Through the screening, the program also created an opportunity for dialogue between veterans and young people, ensuring that stories of idealism, courage and resilience continue to spread. This was a “vivid history lesson”, helping the youth to understand the value of independence, freedom, and to cherish today’s peace.

The program's initiator is Mr. Pham Dinh Thuong – Vice President of the Association of Vietnamese People in Japan, and President of the SUNSHINE GLOBAL Golden Heart Fund. Although he lives and works in Japan, his heart is always directed towards his homeland, especially the historical values, indomitable spirit and immense sacrifices of earlier generations. For him, this was a way to bring the spirit of “Red Rain” back home from afar, so that the love for the country and the memory of comrades would never fade.

Mr Pham Dinh Thuong – President of the SUNSHINE GLOBAL Golden Heart Fund – shared emotionally from Japan during the “Red Rain” seminar in Nghe An: “From Japan, I am honoured to accompany this meaningful program with deep gratitude. The film Red Rain not only re-creates a heroic chapter of history, but also serves as a reminder of the invaluable value of independence, freedom and peace. I firmly believe that today’s generation is responsible for not letting those memories fade, so the younger generation appreciates the great sacrifices of their predecessors. The SUNSHINE GLOBAL Golden Heart Fund will continue to accompany activities of gratitude and sharing, so that the flame of compassion always shines brightly in the community”.

Veterans of gratitude remembered their fallen comrades at the Old Citadel in 1972.

Beyond expressing gratitude, the event also carried the message “Lighting human love, sharing love”. During the program, veterans and guests observed a solemn silence to commemorate the sacrifices in the Old Citadel. The SUNSHINE GLOBAL Golden Heart Fund and the business community in Nghe An joined hands to make the program a festival of meaning. Every invitation and gift contained sincere gratitude and a spirit of community cohesion.

The journey of sowing seeds of love, keeping memories alive, and spreading the spirit of kindness will continue to reach many places, so that people, especially the young generation, will live once again in the flow of history, love their homeland more deeply, and appreciate the value of peace.
