A photography exhibition entitled “Encouraging the moral: Drinking water, think of its source” is due to take place at the Ho Chi Minh City Youth’s Cultural House from now until July 29, to mark the 60th anniversary of dead and wounded soldier day.

The activities of State and Party leaders during the campaign, the operation of the movement in HCMC and the involvement of the City’s youth in the movement are also documented in the exhibition.
