民國45年10月31日「越南亞洲日報」贈，紅色木質架上鑲銀色盾形牌，盾面以亞洲區地圖為底，中國區塊以金色立體方式呈現，其上刻「還我河山」，臺灣旁邊立有燈塔，意指臺灣在蔣中正總統的領導之下，成為亞洲的燈塔，不唯照亮大陸，也是亞洲反共的領導者。盾面上端貼有「蔣大總統七秩華誕大慶」，下款為「越南亞洲日報敬賀」，並刻有時間「中華民國四十五年十月三十一日」，其中「蔣大總統七秩華誕大慶」以及「亞洲日報」為金字，其餘字為白色。
越南長久以來為中國藩屬國或宗主國，19世紀中葉後，法國開始入侵越南，並在西貢設立殖民政府；中國为確保對越南的宗主權導致中法戰爭，雙方簽訂中法新約，使越南正式成為法國殖民地，是為法屬印度支那的一部份。第二次世界大戰時，日本佔領了越南，戰後，法國企圖重新控制越南，但最終失敗，日內瓦會議把越南分割成南、北兩部份，並承諾將推行越南統一的選舉，但這選舉並未舉行。因此在民國40年代，越南面臨南北分治之苦，並長期受北越越共之騷擾，對共產黨恨之入骨，是中華民國反共抗俄主要的盟友之一。

"Vietnam Asia Daily" presented this gold map on October 31, 1956, to celebrating the birthday. The gift is a red wooden plate with silver shield inlay. The shield presents China map against an Asia map ground, and is engraved with inscription "Return Us Our Country." Next to the motif of Taiwan, a beacon implied Taiwan, under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, not only illuminated the mainland, but also became the leader of Asia. A dedication "In celebration of the 70th birthday of President Chiang" is affixed to the upper part of the shield, and below it, "Respectfully, Vietnam Asia Daily" and engraved the date "October 31, 1956." Among the inscriptions, "In celebration of the 70th birthday of President Chiang" and "Vietnam Asia Daily" are golden, and the rest are white.

Vietnam had long been China's vassal state, or China was its suzerain state. Since the mid-19thcentury, the French began to invade Vietnam and established a colonial government in Saigon. China, to ensure its suzerainty of Vietnam, broke out war with the French, i.e., Sino-French War, and both sides signed the Sino-French New Testament. As a result, Vietnam officially became France colony and a part of French Indochina. During World War II, Japan occupied Vietnam. After the war, France attempted to regain control of Vietnam, but ultimately failed. However, the Geneva Conference divided Vietnam into South Vietnam and North Vietnam, and promised to implement a unified election, but election did not hold. Therefore, in the 1950s, Vietnam faced the bitter reality of being divided and ruled separately, in addition to the long-term harassment of Viet Cong from North Vietnam. The Vietnamese hated the Communist Party and was one of the main allies of the Republic of China in anti-communism and resisting Russia.
