Eight Italian couples are participating in a game show organised by the
European country’s RAI Television (RAI TV) which introduces various
localities in Vietnam.
The couples arrived in
Dong Hoi city in the central province of Quang Binh on May 6 for
their fifth mission, where they will have to learn and sing a Vietnamese
song besides a monument dedicated to a Vietnamese heroic mother, Mother
Suot.
A member of the show’s jury, Allegra said
the site was chosen for its great historical value as a symbol for
Vietnamese mothers who have made great contribution and sacrifice for
the country during the wartime.
After listening to
local girls sing the Vietnamese song “Nhu co Bac Ho trong ngay vui dai
thang” (Uncle Ho seems to be with us in happy days of the great
victory), the participating couples’ mission is to find copies of the
song’s lyrics hidden at eight spots in Dong Hoi market and learn from
locals how to sing the song. They have to sing this song in Vietnamese
fluently besides the monument in order to be able to continue to the
next mission, which is scheduled to take place at Hien Luong bridge in
the neighbouring province of Quang Tri .
Participating couples have to find the way and means to their next
destination by themselves, and each person is given only 1 EUR for their
travel.
Their trip started in the capital city of
Hanoi, and they have travelled through northern Quang Ninh province’s Ha
Long city, northern Ninh Binh province and Vinh city of central Nghe An
province.-VNA
