Based on the green environmental practices and social responsibility initiatives of the Vinh Tan 1 Power Company (VTPC1), “Nguyen Tiu Mai’s Vinh Tan Album” vividly narrates, from the perspective of “Nguyen Tiu Mai,” the child of an employee of the VTPC1, the multifaceted stories of how the VTPC1 has improved the local ecological environment, preserved marine biodiversity in the surrounding areas, provided employment opportunities for local Vietnamese communities, and promoted green and sustainable development. The film directly demonstrates the company’s commitment and actions in advancing the green development of the Belt and Road Initiative.
This film uses the sounds of marine animals such as Bryde’s whale to guide the audience’s imagination, depicts reality with innocent hand-drawings, softens hard topics, and thus achieves cross-age and cross-regional dissemination and penetration, ultimately forming a global expression that is both infectious and socially influential. In the picture, the magnificent power plant facilities are integrated with the Vietnamese marine scenery, and the green concept of Chinese technology and the respect and tolerance of local culture complement each other, conveying that CSGI’s service to the high quality Belt and Road development is moving from “hard connectivity” and “soft connectivity” to “heart connectivity”.
As a key energy cooperation project under the Belt and Road Initiative, the VTPC1 aims to build an “advanced, reliable, and green” demonstration power plant, establish a comprehensive environmental protection system, and achieve “zero” wastewater discharge. Corals grew continuously on the breakwater of the power plant’s coal terminal, creating a “whale leaping out of the sea” scene in the harbor. The project also won the “Vietnam National Green Environment Award 2023”. During the construction and operation of the project, international environmental protection standards are strictly implemented, energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies are promoted, and local energy structure optimization and low-carbon transformation are facilitated.
This award is not only a recognition of CSGI’s practical achievements in the field of green energy, but also a full affirmation of the company’s cross-cultural communication and social responsibility fulfillment, becoming a “heartwarming business card” for China-Vietnam energy cooperation and cultural integration.
