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,
