According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, more than 10,000 stories about the peaceful, beautiful and happy Vietnam have been recorded by authors in pictures and videos, from mountainous areas to cities, from the mainland to islands, from familiar things to heroic moments of the nation. Many authors have perspectives, although not professional, but vivid, close to real life, reflecting the many aspects of the concept of happiness. Although the films are very short, the photos are taken by phone, but the authors still tell vivid stories about life around them.
