President Ho Chi Minh followed his father to live in Hue from 1895 to 1901, when he was a child named Nguyen Sinh Cung (5 - 11 years old), and from 1906 - 1909, when he was a young man, named Nguyen Tat Thanh (16 - 19 years old).

The National School of Hue - where Uncle Ho studied.

According to documents, in May 1906, Nguyen Sinh Sac went to Hue to take office after passing the exam, bringing Nguyen Tat Thanh with him and he was admitted to the French-Vietnamese Dong Ba Primary School. This school was established in 1905, on the grounds of the old Dong Ba market hall. This was the first French-Vietnamese primary school in Hue.

In the 1908 primary school graduation exam, Nguyen Tat Thanh was one of 10 students of the school who were transferred directly to the Hue National School, secondary school. Nguyen Tat Thanh was especially good at Chinese characters, and he was naturally intelligent in French. In addition, with the goal of learning the roots of France, he had a solid level of French in a short time. Here, he met teachers who were very devoted to the nation and learned many things from them, contributing to broadening his vision, expanding his knowledge, and strongly influencing his thinking.

The National School, which left a mark on the excellent student Nguyen Tat Thanh in Hue, was recognized as a National Historical Relic on March 26, 1990.

The pink school by the Huong River has been repaired and rebuilt many times, but many documentary images of the school associated with the period when President Ho Chi Minh studied are always treasured by generations of teachers and students of the school. At the memorial house of Uncle Ho and the tradition of Hue National School, the enlarged photo of President Ho Chi Minh is hung solemnly with the monument and many images recording his years of revolutionary activities. In the middle of the school yard, the statue of student Nguyen Tat Thanh is placed in the most solemn position as if to remind generations of students at the school to promote the spirit of studiousness and strive for their ideals.

In mid-1909, Nguyen Tat Thanh left Hue National School, followed his father to Binh Dinh, continued to the South, and then to the West to find a way to save the country.
