The close art show of PPA’s students
Although the voluntary program occurred shortly, it was deeply
significant. This was the practical action showing the solidary spirit,
collective responsibility, sacrifice and headship unconcernedness of the
soldiers when going to Tay Bac mountainous region in order to carry the “golden
heart” to remote areas. By this journey, the members of the PPA’s Youth Union
had profound experience about the life of ethnic minorities and comprehended
the deprivation and unhappiness that they sustained. It simultaneously
