The Words He Left Behind and the Historical Testament

The program is an emotional journey, taking the audience back to 1965, when Uncle Ho began writing his first will - what he called "a top secret document".

During the four-year period from May 10, 1965 to May 19, 1969, Uncle Ho spent 28 sessions, most of which lasted two and a half hours each, writing his Will.

Watching the program, the audience was moved to see again the film footage and simple documentary images about Uncle Ho.

Scenes of Uncle Ho sitting writing on a rattan chair or typing at a wooden table, scenes of bookshelves and boxes containing "Top Secret" documents,...

There is also the Hermet typewriter that Uncle Ho personally wrote or typed the Will (1965 version), pens with different ink colors that Uncle Ho used, envelopes containing "Top Secret" documents...

In a relaxed mood, He prepared for His departure. It was the mood of "Entering eternal life".

The program also recounted the moment at 9:47 a.m. on September 2, 1969, when Uncle Ho passed away after a heart attack. That became the "moment when history stopped."

A series of songs about Him resounded.

The program "The Words He Left Behind" includes two chapters: A Few Words He Left Behind and Forever Ho Chi Minh.

Besides documentary and interview tapes about the Will, there are also artistic performances connecting the narrative.

The series of songs about Uncle Ho returned, making the audience relive moments that have gone down in history. Many audiences present at Ba Dinh Square sang and clapped together to songs about him.
