Nha Rong Wharf – Where Uncle Ho started his journey to liberate the nation

The journey of young patriotic Nguyen Tat Thanh traveled across 3 oceans, 4 continents, visiting nearly 30 countries with different kinds of jobs. The October Revolution in 1917 did influence the awareness of Nguyen Ai Quoc. In 2020, Nguyen Ai Quoc voted for Communist International and became one of the founders of the French Communist Party.

In 1924, Nguyen Ai Quoc came to Guangzhou (China) and began to prepare for Vietnam Revolution. After more than 30 years of activity abroad, Nguyen Ai Quoc decided to choose Cao Bang to develop the first revolutionary base area.

On the 28th of January, 1941, Nguyen Ai Quoc returned to the homeland. In 1945, he established the Vietnam Doc Lap Dong Minh (Viet Minh), set up the liberation armed force, built the revolutionary base area, and led the people to rise up for the success of the August Revolution, proclaiming the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The Democratic Republic of Vietnam was the first State of workers and farmers in Southeast Asia.

President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945. 

President Ho Chi Minh was a great leader of the Vietnamese people. He had creatively applied and developed Marxism- Leninism for the specific conditions of Vietnam and founded the Vietnam National United Front, Vietnam People’s Armed Forces, and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam). He always combined closely the revolution of Vietnam with the common struggle of the world people for peace, national independence, democracy, and social progress.

In 1987, President Ho Chi Minh was revered as a “National liberation hero and a world cultural celebrity” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
