“By the time I type these lines, Mua Do (Red Rain) is still considered an ‘unbeatable’ film, the hottest at the box office, despite the release of numerous new movies, despite the appearance of ‘contrary’ opinions; and despite the film has been commented on, liked, shared, and widely debated in recent days. Ticket sales have officially surpassed 650 billion VND by the end of September 14th. Truly an exciting phenomenon, both encouraging and thought-provoking for Vietnamese cinema”, writes Hien An in the article Red Rain - A Successful Experiment, presented in this issue.
Breaking the “bottleneck” of labor productivity is the issue raised by the author Tuan Ha in Economy & Development section. On this topic, the author emphasizes: labor productivity is a crucial indicator for every individual, family, business, society, and the economy as a whole. Why is labor productivity so important? What is the current situation of Hue City? What can be done to improve productivity in the coming time? To address this issue, it is necessary to make the most of both local human resources and the transient workforce - particularly graduates from Hue University institutions - by engaging them in production and service activities. It is necessary to reduce full unemployment and underemployment, ensuring that everyone has a job and income to sustain life. At the same time, it is essential to continue focused, high-quality training to enhance human resources in line with development priorities, tapping into the city’s strengths in cultural industries, heritage economy, digital economy, artificial intelligence, healthcare, software industry, automation, fashion, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, tourism, and services.
Rock Hue rising with “Dragon Horse Ascends the Court” is the feature presented by Pham Phuoc Chau in the Lifestyle section. Following the success of its debut season, the rock show organized by Hue Capital Rock in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture, Hue University of Sciences, will return with its second edition. This year’s program is part of the 30th anniversary of the Faculty of Architecture. The “Dragon Horse Ascends the Court” theme was chosen to embody vigor and prosperity, inspired by the mythical creature that has been a familiar symbol of the Hue Festival since 2002. Incorporating the “dragon horse” into the show highlights the fusion of modern music and traditional culture. Rock represents rebellion and explosive energy, while the “dragon horse” symbolizes endurance and faith. Together, they create a “grand opening proclamation” that is both classic and contemporary.
