The places where His footprints are kept
HNN.VN - During his childhood, President Ho Chi Minh and his family lived, worked, studied, and participated in patriotic activities in Thua Thien Hue for nearly 10 years. This was during the period of 1895 - 1901, when He was known as Nguyen Sinh Cung (from 5 to 11 years old), and the second period of 1906 - 1909, when He was known as Nguyen Tat Thanh (from 16 to 19 years old).
To date, among the system of 9 relics and memorial sites for President Ho Chi Minh in Thua Thien Hue, 4 relics have been recognised as National Special Relics, which are the Memorial House of President Ho Chi Minh's childhood on Mai Thuc Loan Street, the Memorial House of President Ho Chi Minh's childhood in Duong No Village; Duong No communal house, and the site of Quoc Hoc School. The remaining relics, including the burial place of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan (President Ho Chi Minh's mother); the Am Ba; the Ben Da; the site of the Office of the French Resident Superior in Central Region; and the site of Dong Ba French-Vietnamese Primary School, are provincial-level relics.
On the occasion of the 134th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, Thua Thien Hue Weekly would like to invite readers to visit again the red addresses in Hue associated with His childhood, through photos taken by Truong Vung, the photographer. These places not only preserve the memories of His childhood when He lived in Hue, but also are the spaces being always filled with the pride, admiration, and remembrance of Him.
