48h Rowing (this year's theme is "I row back to my homeland") is a non-profit project founded by young people in 2014, with the desire to pass on inspiration about traditional art to young people, connecting traditional cultural values ​​of our ancestors to the modern community.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh, Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, delivered the opening speech of the program.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the program, Associate Professor Dr. Pham Quang Minh, President of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, highly appreciated the values ​​that the program brought: "The era of globalization has impacted and affected the traditional cultural values ​​of the nation. Only by organizing folk cultural activities like this can we bring traditional values ​​to young people, so that they can perceive, preserve and be proud of Vietnamese traditions and identity. Therefore, the program "I row back to my homeland" is truly meaningful and necessary, so that students can have interesting experiences and be closer to their daily lives.

Associate Professor Dr. Pham Quang Minh also sent his most sincere thanks to the 48-hour Cheo project, the accompanying and sponsoring units that brought the program to the school's students and hoped that in the future, the units will continue to periodically organize many meaningful programs like this.

Cheo performance opened the gala night

The gala night featured 6 performances in 3 art forms: Cheo, Xam singing and Chau Van with special excerpts such as: Xam singing "Bac Ky vui nhat Ha Thanh", "Lung lo con ca vang", "Con duyen khong co lam cao", Cheo "Vu quy", "Do dua" and two "Chuat Thac Bo" and "Co be thuong ngan" performances.

The performances were mostly performed by non-professional students. These are young people who love and are passionate about traditional art forms. After 15 lessons, under the guidance of artists from the Vietnam Cheo Theater, they had a captivating gala performance. The program received a lot of support from students in the hall.

Students are invited to audition and interact with project members.

The program also organized an exchange and direct learning experience of various forms of ethnic culture on stage. Artists from the Vietnam Cheo Theater guided students in the hall to try their hand at some Cheo verses and performance movements. The exchange aroused many young people's passion for this form of ethnic culture.

Compared to 2014 and 2015, the 48-hour Cheo project - I Cheo to My Homeland has changed, bringing folk theater from the communal house yard to university lecture halls. Creating conditions for national culture to be closer to young Vietnamese people.
