A newly-published photo collection under such a theme, painted by Nguyen Phuc Long, 20, an architecture major, has recently gone viral on the Internet and touched the hearts of many Vietnamese netizens.
The image of a doctor in an overall protective gear, representing the medical personnel, is the main inspiration of the collection. Long depicts the doctor from different angels, from hugging the globe in her lap and pray, treating COVID-19 patients in the hospital, texting with her kid during break time, receiving flowers from a child, to smiling brightly when she finally contains the virus. All are creatively and artfully painted under the pen of the young man.
“I chose the light colors for the pictures since I wanted to bring a warm, close feeling to anyone seeing them”, Long was quoted by Thanh Nien as saying. “Through the pictures, I wanted to cheer the first-line medical personal on during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of my paintings has its own meaning”.

“The photos are very beautiful. I’m especially captivated by the color theme. Looking at the pictures, I can imagine doctors, nurses and all working in the healthcare industry are carrying the whole country on their shoulders”, Nguyen Thi Tu Anh, 19, from Hanoi said. She added that she could feel positive energy and the warmness in those first responders, “which makes them more admirable”.
Along with the meaningful photo series, Long and his friends had won the first prize in the “Makeshift hospital ideas” contest, organized by the Association of Architects of Ho Chi Minh City.

Thousands of Vietnamese netizens have changed their avatars on different social media platforms into COVID-19-themed to encourage Vietnam in the fight against the novel pandemic.
From a country once subject to blockade and embargo, Vietnam has risen strongly to become a trusted partner and a responsible member of the international community. This success stems from a distinctive foreign policy line imbued with a strong national identity.
Over 95 years of building and growth, the Communist Party of Vietnam has led the nation through every challenge, achieving significant accomplishments and laying a solid foundation for today’s successes.
Vietnam needs to remain steadfast in making economic development its central focus, while maintaining a stable and objective environment amid a world marked by increasing volatility. This approach would help lay the foundation for long-term growth, improve the well-being of the people, and enable the country to continue serving as an attractive destination for international investors.
In the lead-up to the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Vietnamese community abroad - overseas Vietnamese around the world - has expressed profound confidence and positive expectations toward this major political event, with a desire to contribute intellect and resources to the country’s sustainable development.
On the eve of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), many international scholars, politicians, and left-wing activists have affirmed the Party’s irreplaceable leadership role in Vietnam’s history and present. They also expressed their expectation that the 14th National Congress will continue to strengthen the close relationship between the Party and the people, while opening up strategic decisions for sustainable development in a new era.
Vietnam News Today (Jan. 10): Vietnam wishes to continue strengthening Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with US: PM; 14th National Party Congress - pivotal moment for Vietnam to consolidate its rising position; Vietnam set to retain strong FDI inflows in 2026 on macro stability; UOB upgrades Vietnam’s 2026 GDP growth forecast to 7.5%.
At the briefing, Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung stated that the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Viet Nam is of watershed significance, marking a particularly important milestone in the country’s development process.
