(HBO) - In historical May’s days, joining the influx of people, we visited the monument of President Ho Chi Minh in the Hoa Binh Hydroelectric Plant on the occasion of the 130th birthday anniversary of the late leader.
Youths offer incense in
tribute to late President Ho Chi Minh at the monument.
The 18-metre monument is located on the top of
Ong Tuong hill. It is structured by a solid concrete block weighing several
hundreds of tonnes. From the monument's foot to the lobby area, there are 79
steps, symbolizing 79 years of life of the beloved leader, who devoted his
whole life to the struggle for national independence and freedom and the
people’s happiness.
The idea to construct the monument in the
hydroelectric work came from Uncle Ho’s visit to the Party Committee and people
of Hoa Binh province.
He visited the Socialist Labour Youth School
(now in Hoa Binh city’s Yen Mong commune) in the flood season. He was taken
across the river by a large raft.
Standing on the raft, Uncle Ho pointed to the Da
River and said "after the country is united, we must conquer this river to
prevent floods and serve the people's interests”.
Implementing his teaching, with the
determination "No job is hard if one’s will is enduring; Even digging down
the Mountain, or filling up the Ocean is done by one’s will”, officials and
people in the province joined hands and contributed to overcoming all hardships
in order to complete the hydroelectric project, which significantly serves the
country’s industrialization and modernization cause.
Bui Van Tung, a resident in Lac Son district,
said on the occasion of Uncle Ho's birthday every year, his family and
neighbours visit and offer incense in tribute to the president at the monument.
The act is to show their love for the nation's
Father, and this is also an opportunity to educate his children and
grandchildren about the national traditions, he added.
Offering flowers and incense at the monument in
May with respect and love for the nation’s late leader, every citizen of Hoa
Binh province promises to follow Uncle Ho's example to fulfill assigned tasks
and duties./.
After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
Officials of Hoa Binh province led by Bui Van Khanh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, along with others from the provinces also taking part in a programme on promoting Vietnamese localities in the US and Canada, visited and had a working session with the Consulate General of Vietnam in Houston on April 24 (local time). The delegation was welcomed by Hoang Thuy Duong, Consul General of Vietnam in the city, and staff members of the consulate.
Officials of Hoa Binh province joining in a programme on promoting Vietnamese localities in the US and Canada began working sessions in New York on April 22. Other provinces participating in this programme, held by the Department for Local Diplomacy Facilitation under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, include Yen Bai, Ha Nam, Ha Tinh, Thua Thien - Hue, and Gia Lai.
