A Journey of Advanced HaUI Youth Following President Ho Chi Minh’s Will

Returning to Cao Bang - a heroic land steeped in history and sacrifice - the journey back to the source is imbued with pride, faith, and profound gratitude. This pilgrimage honors the tremendous contributions of our ancestors and heroic martyrs who laid down their lives for national independence.

Under the guidance of Mr. Do Minh Hien, Secretary of the Youth Union of Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI), a delegation of 40 outstanding students embarked on a significant journey. The group paid homage at the Border Campaign Martyrs' Cemetery and visited the historic sites of Dong Khe Victory and Pac Bo Cave.

Honoring the Fallen at the Border Campaign Martyrs' Cemetery

The journey commenced with a solemn visit to the Border Campaign Martyrs' Cemetery. Nestled among the serene landscapes of Cao Bang, this hallowed ground is a testament to the bravery and sacrifices of countless soldiers. As the delegation offered incense, a profound silence enveloped the area, reflecting deep respect and reverence. Each incense stick symbolized a tribute to the indomitable spirit and ultimate sacrifice of those who fought for Vietnam's freedom.

Dong Khe Victory: A Monument of Heroism

Following the cemetery visit, the delegation proceeded to the historical site of Dong Khe Victory. This site stands as a symbol of resilience and strategic brilliance in Vietnam’s revolutionary history. The Battle of Dong Khe, a pivotal engagement during the Border Campaign, marked a significant victory against colonial forces, underscoring the determination and tactical ingenuity of Vietnamese revolutionaries.

As the students walked through the site, they were transported back to a time of intense struggle and ultimate triumph. The historical relics and stories of valor served as powerful reminders of the sacrifices made by previous generations, instilling a sense of pride and continuity in the hearts of the young visitors.

Pac Bo Cave: The Cradle of Revolution

The journey culminated at Pac Bo Cave, where President Ho Chi Minh once resided and planned revolutionary strategies. This sacred site, where the seeds of Vietnam's independence were sown, holds immense historical significance. Standing in the very place where Ho Chi Minh wrote seminal works and orchestrated plans for national liberation, the students felt a profound connection to their nation's illustrious past.

Pac Bo Cave is not just a historical landmark but a symbol of hope and perseverance. It reminds us that even in the most challenging times, the unwavering spirit of the Vietnamese people can overcome any obstacle. The students, inspired by Ho Chi Minh’s legacy, left the site with renewed vigor and commitment to uphold the values of their predecessors.

This journey was more than a mere visit to historical sites; it was a pilgrimage of the soul. It reinforced the importance of remembering and honoring those who fought for Vietnam’s independence. The delegation's experiences at these revered sites fostered a deeper understanding of the nation's history and the sacrifices that underpin its freedom.

As they returned to Hanoi University of Industry, the students carried with them not only the memories of this journey but also a strengthened resolve to contribute to their country’s future. Inspired by the bravery and dedication of past generations, they are committed to embodying the spirit of President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings in their academic and personal endeavors.
