TEMPLE OF PRESIDENT HO CHI MINH CITY

Uncle Ho's Temple is located in Ba Chan A hamlet, Chau Thoi commune, Vinh Loi district, Bac Lieu province. In 1969, hearing the news that our beloved Uncle Ho had passed away forever, the soldiers and people of Chau Thoi commune were extremely shocked and pained. With Uncle Ho's love for the people of the South, the people here have a common wish to build Uncle Ho's Temple right in their homeland to give him incense day and night. Thousands of officials and people in the commune and district were not afraid of sacrifice and hardship, contributing day and night to build Uncle Ho's Temple right on the land filled with smoke, fire, bullets and bombs of the heroic Chau Thoi...

After the temple was burned by the enemy twice, the people as well as the Chau Thoi Commune Party Committee and Vinh Loi District Party Committee were determined to build a solid temple with cement and iron bars... The job of buying materials for construction was difficult because we had to go through many enemy posts, but with the motivation of loving Uncle Ho, the people of Chau Thoi commune volunteered to buy materials, each person buying a little. Buy and make many times. When preparations were complete, at 10:00 a.m. on April 25, 1972, Chau Thoi Commune Party Committee held a groundbreaking ceremony to build Uncle Ho's Temple. After 24 days and nights without fear of enemy artillery shells, the people and Chau Thoi Commune Party Committee completed the construction of the Temple. On the morning of May 19, 1972 (Uncle's birthday), the inauguration ceremony of Uncle Ho's Temple was conducted in the joy and solemnity of over a thousand people in Chau Thoi Commune and soldiers of Vinh Loi district. Building a temple right in the enemy's heart was difficult, protecting the temple was even more difficult. After the temple was completed, the enemy regularly mobilized means to attack, but with all the affection of Southerners for the beloved old father of the nation, guerrilla forces, and local forces. Vinh Loi and the Temple Protection Team are determined to protect Uncle Ho's Temple.
