Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam has signed Decision No.1862/QD-TTg on the organizing of Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day annually on a national scale on April 21st

On the morning of October 6th, Can Tho Public Library launched and officially served readers a digitized collection of articles, magazines, and thematic images with the name “President Ho Chi Minh - Your name is bright forever”.

Recently, there have been many outstanding programmes and art shows that not only entertain the audience but also spread meaningful and positive messages to the public. As a result, the public's requirements are also higher for artists, journalists, producers, etc.

Can Tho city is rich in culture and art with many famous artists and composers. Following that tradition, the source of ancient music composers in Can Tho is increasing significantly, contributing to the conservation and promotion of national music.

It is extremely vital to create and develop the reading movement, in an attempt to build a learning society, a beauty in our social life; raising awareness of all classes of citizens about the great significance and importance of reading for research, education and human personality formation.

“Writers and artists across the country have contributed significantly to Vietnam’s pandemic success. They are the “soldiers” on the cultural “front”. Furthermore, it is they who created and promoted many literary and artistic works that convey meaningful messages, raise public awareness on COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control, and spread positive energy in the community.

Currently, the city of Cần Thơ is joining hands to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic. Cần Thơ artists within their capacities also try to support the frontline against the COVID-19 pandemic. From emotional and true stories, many paintings and folk songs are born to spread the beauty of life during the pandemic of COVID-19.

The Five Deities (Ba Ngu Hanh or Ngu Hanh Nuong Nuong) symbolize the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Beyond their literal meanings, they have been used to consider the correlations of the cosmos. The worship of the Five Deities in Southern Vietnam demonstrates how adaptable Vietnamese people are when they tweak the Chinese philosophy to fit in their own religious values.

The Cần Thơ Association Of Photographic Artists is exhibiting the photo contest named “Cần Thơ rendezvous” at the Cần Thơ city branch of the Việt Nam Union of Literature and Arts Associations (No. 170, Ly Tu Trong Street, Ninh Kieu District). There are 111 photographic works in the exhibition, including 11 awarded ones, illustrating the beauty of Cần Thơ city today.
