Photo exhibition shows Uncle Ho’s love for Hanoi

Ho Chi Minh was always interested in culture, education, and respect for talent. Although he was swamped with work as a president, he visited Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam, an icon of Vietnamese intelligentsia, three times (1945, 1960 and 1962).

The photo was taken during his visit on January 26, 1960. The inscription of the examination held in 1442 reads: “Virtuous and talented men are the original vitality of a state”.

President Ho Chi Minh inherited the tradition of honoring talented people in the nation’s history and developed new conditions for treating talents. During his lifetime, he often said, “We must cultivate talented people” because “nation-building needs talented people”. President Ho Chi Minh inspired many talented people to participate in the liberation and reconstruction of the country.
The exhibition showcases more than 200 documents and objects about the founder of modern Vietnam, highlighting revolutionary milestones related to the president that took place in the city, his ties with locals, and how people in the capital followed his teachings.

The exhibition has three themes: “Hanoi with Uncle Ho”, “Uncle Ho with Hanoi”, and “Hanoi Following Uncle Ho’s Teachings”.

The “Hanoi with Uncle Ho” theme presents documents and artifacts about places that mark important milestones in Uncle Ho’s life and revolutionary activities in Hanoi.

There are pictures of Hanoians welcoming Uncle Ho and responding to his call to contribute to the resistance war. The section displays many documents about the relics of President Ho Chi Minh in the Presidential Palace and pictures of Uncle Ho’s funeral.

The theme “Uncle Ho and Hanoi” presents documents and pictures showing Uncle Ho’s concern and guidance to the Party Committee, the government, and the people of Hanoi in national security, economic development, health care, and education. This exhibition also has many documents and pictures demonstrating his affection for people from all walks of life.

The section “Hanoi Follows Uncle Ho’s Word” presents documents and pictures of the untiring efforts and unity of the Party Committee, the government, and Hanoians to build the capital city into an ever more developed, civilized, and modern city.

At the opening ceremony, Do Dinh Hong, director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, said that the leader spent the longest period of his revolutionary life in the capital (from 1945 to 1946 and from 1954 to 1969).

“His profound thoughts, feelings, and instructions have guided all the work of local authorities and people, contributing to the city’s development towards modernity and civilization,” Hong said.
Meanwhile, the art space features nearly 40 calligraphic works on President Ho Chi Minh’s poems and life maxims.
These are calligraphic lotus paintings from the “Lotus in Vietnamese Cultural Life” collection by Nguyen Thi Thanh Tam.

The exhibition will last until the end of the year.

Foreigners excited to discover flower road in Hanoi

Image
The blooming bauhinia variegata trees make many people think they are lost in the mountain of the Northwestern region. The bauhinia variegata flowers are conspicuous, white and purple, with five soft petals, featuring the typical beauty of the high mountain in the north. The Ban flower season starts in late February and lasts till April. When the flowers are blooming, they look like a fan. Although there are several colours, white and purple are the main colours. At the beginning of the flower season, many roads in Hanoi look more romantic and attractive. On weekends, many foreign visitors choose to call at Ciputra to watch bauhinia variegate blossoming. “We feel as if we get lost in a mountain in the northern highlands of Vietnam,” says Shachin, an Indian visitor and his wife. The Indian couple do not forget to capture an impressive moment right in Hanoi instead of travelling far up north. “We are very happy and l...

Weaving village in the city

There are now very few families pursuing the trade, but they still try to continue preserving the brand of the traditional trade village. A golden age Few families in Bay Hien weaving village use looms. Nguyen Thi Hue, 80, is the oldest artisan and is one of very few artisans following the ups and downs of the village.

She was born in a commune that was famous for weaving in Dien Ban District, Quang Nam Province. She learned how to spin thread and take shuttle when she was 10 years old. In the 1950s-1960s in the previous century, Quang Nam was devastated by fierce war and harsh nature, making the people’s lives getting more miserable.
