Sacred emotions
On April 30, according to reporters' records, from early morning, hundreds of delegations with tens of thousands of people came here to visit, offer incense, and flowers to commemorate President Ho Chi Minh.
Many families travel thousands of kilometers to be able to return home to offer incense on the important holiday. Ms. Nguyen Thanh Hai (Ho Chi Minh City) shared that every time she returns to her husband's hometown in Nghe An, her family chooses Kim Lien as the first destination: "Being able to offer incense, visit the place where Uncle Ho was born and raised is a sacred feeling. Through that, children and grandchildren understand and cherish the simple but great life of Uncle Ho more.
Not only people, many agencies, businesses, and armed forces units also organize flower and incense offering ceremonies. A representative of a business said that offering incense at Uncle Ho's hometown on April 30th has become a tradition, both to show gratitude to the great leader and to review the achieved results, setting out the goal of improving management capacity, operating a safe and efficient electricity system, serving socio-economic development and people's lives.
Carefully prepare to welcome guests during the April 30 holiday.
Mr. Nguyen Bao Tuan - Director of Kim Lien Special National Relic Site (Nghe An) - said that to serve tens of thousands of visitors during the 51st anniversary of National Reunification Day, the Relic Site Management Board has renovated the entire campus, decorated flags and flowers, and built miniatures to create a solemn and friendly space. The unit arranges officials and staff to be on duty 24 hours/day; strengthen security and order, environmental sanitation, and well meet the needs of delegations and individuals.
Despite the rainy weather, crowds still flocked to Kim Lien Relic Site, respectfully offering incense to commemorate President Ho Chi Minh, commemorating his great contributions to the cause of national liberation and reunification. According to the Management Board, the number of visitors is forecast to continue to increase in the coming days, and the unit has prepared the most thoughtful plans to welcome and guide tourists.
