Mourning leader honors President Ho Chi Minh at House Number 48, Hang Ngang Street
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, Party General Secretary Tô Lâm visited House No. 48 on Hàng Ngang Street in Hà Nội's Hoàn Kiếm Ward. This significant revisit marked the location where President Hồ Chí Minh drafted the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Việt Nam.
The house, which once belonged to Trịnh Văn Bô and Hoàng Thị Minh Hồ, patriotic bourgeois industrialists steadfastly loyal to the revolution, now stands as a national historical and cultural relic site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It has two facades, one facing Hàng Ngang Street and the other opening onto Hàng Cân Street.
During his stay from August 25 until early September 1945, President Hồ Chí Minh wrote the Declaration of Independence in the modest space at No. 48 on Hàng Ngang Street. The house was chosen as his residence and workplace upon his return from the Việt Bắc resistance base.
Party General Secretary Lâm offered incense to commemorate President Hồ Chí Minh and paid tribute to the brilliant leader of the Party and the people. He listened to a presentation about the memorial, the precious artifacts related to President Hồ Chí Minh, and stories about the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.
In the guestbook, Party Leader Lâm wrote that he was deeply honored and moved to revisit House No. 48 on Hàng Ngang Street. After the incense-offering ceremony, Party General Secretary Lâm and the delegation toured the site.
The Party Central Committee approved three crucial decisions at No. 48 on Hàng Ngang Street during President Hồ Chí Minh's stay: the Declaration of Independence, the organization of the National Day celebration, and the establishment of the Provisional Government.
President Hồ Chí Minh is also recognized as a great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, a hero of national liberation, and a great man of culture. The Declaration of Independence was read at Ba Đình Square on September 2, 1945, proclaiming the birth of the Democratic Republic of Việt Nam.
The house at No. 48 on Hàng Ngang Street remains a testament to the historical significance of President Hồ Chí Minh's life and work, serving as a reminder of the struggle for independence and the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Việt Nam.
