The art program's title, "Forever Twenty," serves as a poignant reminder of those who died young, while also urging the current generation to uphold ideals, commitment, and national responsibility. The program itself, divided into three parts, highlighted key figures and events from Quang Ninh's history, including the mining industry's workforce, the "Than" corps, and the Ho Chi Minh Trail at sea, emphasizing the province's contributions to national liberation and defense.
Identifying unidentified martyrs' remains is not just completing a task but an act of gratitude and responsibility of the current generation towards those who sacrificed their lives for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
