The exhibition is held to celebrate the 105th anniversary of his departure abroad to seek ways to save the country (June 5) and the 126th anniversary of his birth (May 19).
Known in those days as Nguyen Tat Thanh, Uncle Ho made the decision to go abroad in 1911 and travelled to discover the pathway to freedom, to be awakened to Marxism-Leninism and become a communist devoted to the entire Vietnamese people.
June 5, 1911 was an especially significant milestone, not only in the life of a person, but also the history of a nation. At that time, Nguyen Tat Thanh himself neither understood that he was shouldering a great national historical task, nor knew that on that day an extremely sacred mission had been assigned to him.
The journey of the late President created great turning points in the Vietnam revolution that forever altered the destiny of the entire nation and people of Vietnam.
The exhibition will run at the Ho Chi Minh Museum until the end of June./.
