In the first section titled “Nguon Coi” (Origins), the organizers used LED to create legendary images such as the tale of the Dragon and Fairy descendants, the nation-building era of the Hung Kings, the 1,000 years of Chinese suzerainty, the Vietnamese feudal dynasties, the French colonial period, and the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. The segment concluded with archival footage of President Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of Independence.
