Students of Yen Binh Townlet Secondary School introduced to information about President Ho Chi Minh at the site |
The structure work is seen as the gratitude of the ethnic minority people here to Uncle Ho. Covering 2.1 hectares, the memorial site has an Uncle Ho's stilt house, an Uncle Ho's fish pond, an orchard, an exhibition hall showcasing exhibits about President Ho Chi Minh, and a gallery highlighting ethnic minority groups in the Northwestern region, and other auxiliary works.
On display in this site are more than 500 documents and artifacts vividly capturing President Ho Chi Minh’s background, life, revolutionary career, thought, and shining moral example. These help visitors better understand about the Vietnamese leader’s great contribution to the Vietnamese revolution, to promoting mutual understanding between peoples around the world and the common struggle for peace, independence, democracy and social progress. The exhibits also partly show his attention to the Party Committee, authorities and people of Yen Bai province in the struggle for national independence and freedom.
Since its inception, the memorial site has always been a “red address” to educate traditions and foster ideal for youths.
Yearly, it welcomes thousands of local Youth Union members and teenagers to visit, report on their achievements, and announce new members to Youth Union and Young Pioneer organizations.
Vu Phuong Anh, a ninth grader of Yen Binh Townlet Secondary School said that through outdoor learning sessions at the President Ho Chi Minh memorial site, she better understood about Uncle Ho's background, life, contribution and sacrifices to help the country regain today’s independence. “I always talk to myself that I will exert efforts to practice and study well to deserve the sacrifices of the younger generation for our today’s peace,” Anh said.
A number of officials, party members, people and tourists have visited this site and offered incense in tribute to Uncle Ho. The site also hosts regular traditional education activities of local clubs and authorities.
