Quang Tri (VNA) – At its recent 28th meeting, the People's Council of the central province of Quang Tri has passed a rඣesolution to name 40 streets and five bridges in Dong Ha city, including a street named after martyr Luong Nghia Dung – a journalist of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA).
This honour reflects a tribute to the journalist’s heroic sacrifice from his past legacy on the Quang Tri battlefield.
The Luong Nghia Dung Street connects Dang Thi Street with Nguyen Van Cu in the Nam Dong Ha urban area. The 270-m street is situated near the provincial departments.
Martyr journalist Dung served as a key correspondent of the VNA’s military photography group from 1967, renowned for many outstanding photographs of the war in Vietnam. With more than six years behind the camera, he left behind a vast and invaluable photographic legacy of the war, fiery images, soaked in sweat, tears, and blood of both the people in the photos and the photographer. Dung sacrificed his life in the line of duty on the Quang Tri battlefield in the summer of 1972.
In 2007, he was posthumously awarded the State Award for Literature and Arts for his work “Dau phao o Doc Mieu” (Cannon fight at Doc Mieu).
Ten years later, the martyr journalist was posthumously honoured with the Ho Chi Minh Awards for his five-photo collection named "Nhung khoanh khac de lai” (Leftover moments), which were captured at the northern battlefield and the Quang Tri battlefield.
From the moment he began his career until his death at the age of 38, Dung had only six years working as a war correspondent. However, more than 2,000 photographs he left behind showcase his sharp skills and a keen mind to exploit the photographic lens to capture victory.
The late journalist is a shining example of both heart and vision for journalists across the country, especially those in Quang Tri, Vice Chairman of the Quang Tri Journalists Association Hoang Ngoc Sy said.
He said Dung’s dedication to the profession and his heroic sacrifice are truly commendable as he captured the tough yet glorious moments in the great struggle of the military and people to safeguard the nation./.
