August Revolution 1945, there are special objects about a generation of
Vietnamese students during the French colonial period, such as a learning
report of "Thanh Nam prodigy" Pham Dong Dien who later

National Defence to research weapons serving the resistance war against the
French.

medicine are also displayed at the exhibition. They include a scalpel and a
photo of student Pham Van Phuc, later Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Phuc who
performed the surgery in which the patient was soldier La Van Cau, a hero of
the People's Armed Forces during the 1950 Border Campaign.

considered as "four pillars" of Vietnamese medicine in the resistance
war. They are Professor Ton That Tung (a street in Hanoi is named after him);
Prof. Dang Van Chung, Prof. Chu Van Tuong and Prof. Dinh Van Thang.
A draft of the book "small and large surgery on the liver” published by
Paris-based Masson Publishing House is displayed at a solemn site at the
park. The draft consists of 216 pages, handwritten and typed by Prof. Ton
That Tung in French. The book has been praised by the world’s surgeons.

method".
Not only displaying and introducing achievements in medicine, mathematics,
biology and geology, the park also creates a highlight with special objects of
the subsidy period. Models of old apartments with things of the period such as
bicycles, and coupons to buy goods and rice give visitors a better
understanding of the past of the country.

archived research works, thepark is really a suitable place for relaxing
as well as for organising events, seminarsand organizing life skills
education classes for the young generation./.
