Photographs show smiling children, poultry farming, a poultry shop, fishermen landing a catch, rows of fish-sauce jars, buffalo ploughing a paddy and children listening to a radio. The tell is the pairing of an abstract national promise with everyday faces and work offered as proof that it is already visible. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Glittering generalities](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/glittering-generalities/) [Plain folks](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/plain-folks/) ## Text on the object Original (Vietnamese) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` MỘT QUỐC GIA LỚN MẠNH VÀ THỊNH VƯỢNG NGÀY NAY NGƯỜI TA ĐỀU CÓ THỂ NHÌN VÀ CẢM THẤY CẢNH THỊNH VƯỢNG KHẮP NƠI TRÊN TOÀN QUỐC.

Tương lai của quốc gia và dân tộc bắt đầu ngay từ đây, ở lớp người trẻ của xứ sở. Nhìn những nụ cười vui tươi trên gương mặt họ, người ta biết lòng họ đầy tin tưởng lạc quan. Cần phải có sự hợp-tác chặt-chẽ trong việc sản-xuất phẩm-vật cần-thiết cho người dân trong nước và phân-phối hữu-hiệu cho thị-trường tiêu-thụ trên toàn quốc. Việc sản xuất gà là giai đoạn đầu trong hệ thống phân phối đến tay người tiêu thụ. Nguồn thủy-lợi dồi dào cộng với sáng kiến khéo của ngư dân bảo đảm sự cung cấp đầy đủ về thủy sản. Những nét sống khác biệt giữa những gia đình nông thôn cổ truyền và gia đình tân tiến đã tiêu biểu cho một vùng đất có nhiều dị biệt và sinh lực làm nền tảng cho sự lớn mạnh và thịnh vượng. SP-2146 ``` English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader) ``` A GREAT, STRONG AND PROSPEROUS NATION TODAY ONE CAN SEE AND FEEL PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. IN THE COUNTRYSIDE AS IN THE CITIES, EVERYWHERE THE PEOPLE JOIN FORCES TO BUILD A STRONG AND PROSPEROUS NATION, FULL OF HAPPINESS AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL. The future of the nation and people begins right here, with the young generation of the country. Looking at the cheerful smiles on their faces, one knows their hearts are full of optimistic confidence. There must be close cooperation in producing the goods needed by the people of the country and in distributing them effectively to the consumer market throughout the nation. Poultry production is the first stage in the system of distribution to the consumer's hands. Abundant water resources combined with the fishermen's clever initiative ensure a full supply of fishery products. The differences in way of life between traditional rural families and modern families are representative of a land with many differences and a vitality that forms the foundation for growth and prosperity.
