The yellow five-pointed star (#FFFF00) in the middle symbolizes the unity of the Vietnamese people, symbolizing the working class, farmers, intellectuals, youth and soldiers. The emergence of the flag is profoundly marked by the role it has played in Vietnam's struggle for independence and its establishment as a modern socialist state. The flag was first adopted in 1945 and is decorated with symbols reflecting the victory of the people. A sort of “star shining with the power of the revolution”!
