# Đây, Chiêu Hồi có nghĩa gì! (This Is What Chieu Hoi Means!)

A Chieu Hoi poster (code SP-1353) pairs a green headline, 'This is what Chieu Hoi means!', with three photographs of ralliers at the Bien Hoa centre: a chess game, a volleyball match and a camp clean-up. The text defines the policy through abstract goods (friendship, happiness, health, 'the opportunity to serve the Fatherland'). Only leisure scenes are shown; terms, screening and the alternatives are not mentioned.

THIS IS WHAT CHIEU HOI MEANS!

At the Bien Hoa Centre, a large number of ralliers have found the meaning of the Chieu Hoi policy. It is to be freed from solitude, to find friendship and happiness again, to live with the people one loves, to find health, a chance to become a whole person and, most important of all... to find the opportunity to serve the Fatherland.

Playing Chinese chess in spare time.

The ralliers are playing volleyball at the Bien Hoa Chieu Hoi Centre.

The ralliers are cheerfully clearing up the camp.
