[VOVWORLD] - For centuries, Chuon village’s parallel couplet paintings, once a hallmark of New Year celebrations in Hue, were part of the central city’s cultural fabric. Over time, however, the tradition faded, surviving only in the memories of the village elders. But the burning passion and an arduous journey throughout Vietnam by businessman Ngo Quy Duc and his colleagues re-awakened the ancient calligraphic art.
(VOVWORLD) - There is a growing desire among travelers today, not simply to see, but to feel. Not merely to pass through landscapes, but to enter the rhythm of everyday life within them. Across Vietnam, from the waterways of Can Tho to the mountain valleys of Son La and the ancient stone lanes of Son Tay, a quieter form of tourism is taking root. This is a journey across three regions, connected not by geography, but by a common thread: communities turning to experiential tourism as a way to preserve heritage, sustain livelihoods, and remind visitors that culture lives most vividly in ordinary moments.
(VOVWORLD) - Vietnam's first IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) case was in 1998. It was a breakthrough, but what followed was nothing short of a miracle. Tens of thousands infertility cases are treated a year. More than 200,000 children were born thanks to IVF. And today, Vietnam is one of the world's leaders in new and advanced procedures like CAPA-IVM. What drove such an explosive growth in healthcare?

(VOVWORLD) - This man’s music has lived for nearly 70 years and is considered a genre in its own right. 600 songs. Millions of records sold in Japan. Trinh Cong Son, dubbed the Bob Dylan of Vietnam, is simply known as Trinh. 25 years after his death, hundreds of his songs are still sung by heart - at home, in small cafés, at concerts across Vietnam. So what happens when you take music that famous and play it in a jazz style? Is it a tribute…or a betrayal?
(VOVWORLD) - Vietnam’s healthcare system is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. The shift is taking place in medical records, clinical data, and digital connections that now link doctors, hospitals, and patients across the country. From electronic medical records used daily in hospitals to telemedicine services supporting care from a distance, medical data has shaped a new way of delivering healthcare in Vietnam.
(VOVWORLD) - It has been more than 30 years since American photographer Peter Steinhauer first set foot in Vietnam, a place he calls his second home. Over three decades, he has journeyed across the country, from north to south, quietly observing and patiently capturing the soul of Vietnam, its people, its landscapes, and the rhythms of everyday life through his lens. Most recently, Peter Steinhauer came back to Vietnam with a special exhibition, honoring his enduring love for Vietnam and marking the 30th anniversary of the normalization of the Vietnam-US diplomatic relations, a powerful reminder of how art, memory, and human connection can bridge the two countries.
(VOVWORLD) - Vietnamese traditional music, once the heartbeat of village courtyards, temple festivals, and communal life, is facing its greatest challenge in the digital age. As visual culture and fast-paced entertainment dominate the screens of Gen Z, can the folk rhythms of Cheo, Ca tru, Xam and other folk theaters find their place in the lives of young Vietnamese today? Recently, at the cultural space of Bich Cau Temple in Hanoi, the “Echoes of Rhythm” talk show brought together master artists and Gen Z audiences for a rare, cross-generational dialogue. Their conversations, performances, and concerns reveal both the fragility and the enduring strength of Vietnam’s musical heritage.
(VOVWORLD) - In 2025, Vietnam’s Four No’s defense policy has been widely recognized as a core pillar in maintaining a self-defensive and transparent defense posture, thereby strengthening international confidence in the country. This policy helps prevent conflicts and avoids entanglement in major-power competition, while preserving strategic flexibility to safeguard national sovereignty and interests. In today’s show, themed “Vietnam’s Four No’s Defense Policy: Implication and Practical Application in International Integration,” we are honored to welcome two distinguished guests: Lieutenant General, Professor, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, former Deputy Director of the National Defense Academy, and Major General Nguyen Hong Quan, former Deputy Director of the Institute for Defense Strategy.
