President Hồ Chí Minh, great example of simplicity

A plain meal that President Hồ Chí Minh feted fellow-citizens

The great leader chopped logs for firewood and cooked his meal during his stay in Việt Bắc Interzone

… planting trees around his stilt house

Or visiting farmers to teach them farming techniques

The father of the nation made a rare visit to Kim Liên Village, Nam Đàn District, Nghệ An Province - his birthplace

In teenagers’ memory, President Hồ Chí Minh is always remembered as the old father of the Vietnamese nation, who has a high forehead, bright eyes, with  silver-colored beard and hair

For him, children should be given constant care and education

The President’s habit of keeping things neat and in order was unchanged wherever he lived

And fishing at odd times
