Diễm played the part of a woman who overcame the difficulties of a broken marriage and gained happiness for herself and her children.

Xuân Nghị receives Impressive Actor for his role in Balanha Guesthouse.

The awarding ceremony took place in Hà Nội on Saturday to mark 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Việt Nam Television (September 7, 1970).

The ceremony was divided into five parts reflecting the development of VTV over five decades: Black and White, Coloured, Discovery, Speed up and Competitive.

In the first chapter, the awards recalled the beginning of the television industry with monochrome frames and modest equipment. The television makers still worked hard and released invaluable news and programmes creating a foundation for the development of modern television industry today.

VTV General Director Trần Bình Minh said the 50th anniversary is a special milestone for all people who have been working for VTV as well as generations of audiences.

“I watched the first programme of VTV when I was a student, now half of a century has passed by,” said Minh.

“With simple, self-assembling equipment, the previous generations of technicians and reporters produced incredible material. Today we are happy to uphold the tradition. We dare to work, overcome troubles, create and be responsible for our work.” — VNS
