Visiting my hometown of Uncle Ho

Hoang Tru is a cultural cradle of Nghe An country. The ancient Hoang Tru village has the name Nom, after the Citadel of Chua village. At the cluster of relics Hoang Tru, behind the open bamboo gate is the path between the two banks of the roost that leads us to a church and two familiar cottages, like the houses of the inhabitants of this region in the past.

Uncle Ho was born in a three-story cottage in this Hoang Tru relic. The house is close to Hoang Duong's house, built on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Hoang Thi Loan and Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac in 1883.

Outside house is a place to study and relax and is a place where Duong teaches. There was a counter, a letter case, two window chairs, two bookshelves.

The second space is the residence of Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan - where she gave birth, raising three grown children. In this house, there is a simple small bed, where is the wooden bed frame, ladder made of bamboo, bamboo cork, on the mat.

Third time for weaving looms. Ms. Loan is late at night to weave and weave silk to help her family in difficult and needy times. Next to it is a long hammock for her to lend her hand while she is taking the weaving. The sweet lullaby and the sound of the smooth looms are unforgettable memories of the childhood of the three sisters Nguyen Sinh Cung that day.

This house, after passing the Deputy Board in 1901, was welcomed by the villagers of Sen village and relatives of Nguyen Sinh's family, and the father of Uncle Ho left to use Hoang Duong's relatives.

Visiting Uncle Ho's hometown

Return to Uncle Ho's hometown - ancient Kim Lien village named Sen camp, later called Sen village. This is the place where the precious relics of Uncle Ho's family and his youthful activity place are left.

On 14/6, this year, Dinh Hoi was only 50 years old when Uncle Ho came to visit his hometown for the first time, it was also about 100 years since Uncle Ho left his hometown of Sen village to go around the corner of the horizon. That morning in June it was sunny and sunny. The sunbeams of joy and joy were shining on each of the blissful and proud faces that boasted to Nam Dan, to Kim Lien.

You are there! In silver and gray clothes, rubber sandals wearing heels, Uncle smiled and waved to the people. The whole forest cheered to welcome Uncle Ho. A leader of Nghe An province solemnly invited Uncle to come to the guesthouse which was built not long ago, but Uncle stopped:

- I have been away from home and away from home for a long time to return, I have to visit my house first. Guest house is for guests, I am a guest!

Saying that, he turned to his house. In front of the bamboo gate leading the way to the house, I saw the words written on the small board ' Uncle Ho's house ', Uncle turned around and told everyone:

- This is the Vice President, not Uncle Ho's!

Right. The wooden house with 5 pieces of thatched roof is made by the people of Kim Lien village, who bought the money and celebrated the great ceremony Nguyen Sinh Sac had just passed the examination of the examination board of the 1901 Year of the New Ox Festival. building 3 small houses used as a horizontal house, celebrating the younger brother who is about to honor the ancestor.

He stood there, looking over two houses and gardens. When he heard the instructor instruct him to come into the house, Uncle hesitated for a few moments and then leisurely walked along the fence to the corner of the garden to turn right, following the hedge fence to go straight to the yard:

- It is wrong for you to open the passage just now, the gate of the Vice-Table is in the east!

He stopped in the middle of the yard, as if he wanted to capture the entire landscape into his eyes. He pointed to those who followed where the guava tree was planted, where there was a serene tree that grew on the old garden of Uncle's house. He went into a big house, went all five times, went to where he showed people the location, to put the objects according to his memories.

In the first stall, there was a large set of counterparts to be used by Nguyen Sinh Sac. It was here that Nguyễn Sinh Cung heard many talks of patriotic priests and his fellow comrades. The altar is placed in the second floor. This altar has no legs, but it is supported on 2 wooden panels that are tied to the house column. The altar is a bamboo mat on a carpentry mat. All worship objects are made of rustic wood without lipstick.

The third space is encased in a compartment for his sister, Nguyen Thi Thanh, Bach Lien. 4th space dedicated to Deputy Reading table, rest. In addition to the counterpart, there's a letter. In the fifth time, there was also a special set of counterparts for two brothers, Nguyen Sinh Khiem and Nguyen Sinh Cung. He showed people where the hammock was found, where the wooden chest was stored in which position, where the cupboard 2 compartment was located . Go to the big house, Uncle stepped down to the house, The day before was used for cooking and storing things.

He went back to the yard and stood looking at the house that had attached a very important period in his life. This house is a memorial that witnesses the process of labor, study, and maturity from the age of eleven to sixteen years old, which marks the first emotions of patriotism and social awareness. meeting and marking the initial activities of the country.

After 50 years have passed, those who are honored to be present in the sacred moment of the morning of June 14, 1957, must not forget Uncle's words:

- I have been away from home for 50 years. Often people are away from home, when they return, they are happy and sad. But I'm not sad but just happy. Because, when I left, our people were still slaves, being ridden by ancient imperialists. Now that I come back, the country has been liberated, the people have been free.

Hometown thought heavy love
How many fifty years of love
