HBO – Locating in Yen Mong commune, Hoa Binh city, right next to the national road 70 and in the middle of green corn field, the relic site of a visit of President Ho Chi Minh to the Hoa Binh Young socialist Workers’ school stands out with red roof. The 3,335 square-metre facility has a traditional design and faces the Da River.

Inside
the teaching staff’s building in the relic’s campus, many photos, documents are
on display, featuring the history and activities of the school.
The site was recognised as a provincial cultural, historical relic site in
2008. However, time has taken a heavy toll on the school, with almost no trace
of old building left. Therefore, in order to preserve and promote the value of
the relic site and the teachings of Uncle Ho during his visit to the school, as
well as to meet the wish of local residents, the provincial People’s Committee
invested over 15 billion VND (660,000 USD) in repairing and upgrading the relic
site in 2012. The facility is now completed.
At the main gate, one can see a 320 sq.m lake in the centre of the site. The
first stop is a large yard with a black
2.55 m high stone stele which is carved with
the late President’s teachings in golden colour, saying that "Learn well, work
well, always try the best, always improve.”
Along with the stele, an outstanding feature of the relic is a stone sculptural
relief, which is
24 mlong and
2.7 mhigh. It depicts Uncle Ho’s visit to the school, and images of teaching and
working activities at the school along with typical local culture.
Among the highlights of the facility is the teaching staff’s building on an
area of 176 sq.m. It has the same design and size as the original building in
1962. Many photos, documents are put on display in the building in the relic’s
campus, featuring the history and the activities at the school. They include
photos of many Party and State leaders, such as Party General Secretary Do
Muoi, Prime Minister Pham Van Dong, attending the school year opening ceremony
at the school.
There are also images of the friendship and training cooperation between the
school and the Vietnam – Cuba Friendship School, along with school’s
activities, for example a class on cassava cultivation technique in 1966, the
production of noodle in 1965, and students operating maize sowing machines made
by the school.
Numerous photos of Uncle Ho’s visit and his gifts to the school are showcased
in the building’s campus, such as a set of brown clothes, a white soldier’s
hat. Right next to an altar worshipping late President Ho Chi Minh and the
national flag is a summary of Uncle Ho’s speech at the school during his visit
on August 17, 1962.
The precious but simple and familiar souvenirs remind all visitors of the
beloved late President.
The entire area nestles under the shade of big longan trees, which were planted
in the school campus in the 1960s./.
Throughout his revolutionary life, Uncle Ho visited Hoa Binh province four times. He also sent dozens of letters, telegrams, greeting cards, and heartfelt messages to local officials, Party members, and people of all ethnic groups, urging them to remain united, support one another, strive for progress, and actively engage in both production and resistance efforts to build a prosperous homeland.
To unlock the full potential of its forest resources, the standing board of the provincial Party Committee on July 30, 2020 issued a Resolution on the sustainable development of production forests through 2025, with a vision toward 2030.
In recent years, the education and training sector in Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province, has actively integrated its tasks with the promotion of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, ethics, and style. This approach has contributed significantly to improving the overall quality of education across the district.
The Hoa Binh provincial museum on May 16 opened a thematic exhibition "Under the flag of the glorious Communist Party of Vietnam" with more than 200 documents, images and objects featuring the glorious 95-year journey of the Party.
Hoa Binh police are collecting public feedback on amendments to the 2013 Constitution via the national identification app VNeID. This innovative approach marks a giant leap towards modernising grassroots democracy and enhancing transparency in public consultation.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh Party Committee, on May 14 chaired a meeting of the provincial steering committee for its programme to eliminate makeshift and dilapidated housing for the poor. The session reviewed the programme’s outcomes to date and discussed forthcoming tasks.
