On the occasion of the 136th anniversary of beloved President Ho Chi Minh’s birth (May 19, 1890 – 2026), and marking 70 years since his visit to Nhan Dan (People’s) Newspaper, I write this article to recall the affection Uncle Ho once showed towards the Party newspaper.

Ha Noi is home to hundreds of sites associated with the life and revolutionary activities of President Ho Chi Minh. The places he visited, the people he met, and the stories he shared with fellow citizens remain invaluable lessons in revolutionary morality. The Party committees, authorities, and people of the capital have always treasured and preserved these historical sites so that the lessons they embody will endure for generations to come.

Valuable documents and artefacts related to President Ho Chi Minh were donated to the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Ha Noi during a ceremony held on November 6 on the occasion of the museum's 55th founding anniversary (November 25, 1970 – 2025).

In 1969, while studying a Party resolution, participants received the sorrowful news that President Ho Chi Minh had passed away. Deeply moved, artist Vo Dong Minh made a solemn vow before the late President’s spirit: if he survived the war, he would paint 79 portraits of Uncle Ho, representing the President’s age, because the people of southern Viet Nam had never seen him and always longed to meet him.
