The space in the relic site recreates and vividly restores the scene of the old classroom. The main highlight is the exhibition house, which preserves hundreds of valuable documents, images, and artifacts such as copies of Uncle Ho's 2 letters to the classroom; printers, printers, and specimens of Cuu Quoc Newspaper issued during the war; pens and lectures.
Each artifact contains a story, a vivid memory of the days as a journalist during the resistance war with countless hardships.
Each historical page is in disrepair, in early April afternoon of 49 in the middle of the vast mountains and forests in Bo Ra hamlet (now Tan Thai commune, Dai Tu district, Thai Nguyen), the opening ceremony of the first class of Huynh Thuc Khang Newspaper School was held.
Huynh Thuc Khang School was founded by Uncle Ho himself, named and directed the General Secretary of Viet Minh to organize the implementation. The school at that time was a bamboo thatched house with leaves and walls located deep in the middle of the great wall.
At the time of establishing Huynh Thuc Khang school, the School's Board of Directors was appointed to be established with 5 people. Comrade Do Duc Duc - Deputy Secretary of the General Confederation of Labor of Viet Minh as Director, Comrade Xuan Thuy as Deputy Director.
The trainees include 42 officials from all over the country, 29 lecturers participating in the teaching are all experienced leaders such as: Comrade Truong Chinh, Vo Nguyen Giap, Hoang Quoc Viet, Tran Huy Lieu, Le Quang Dao, To Huu...
Due to the fierce resistance war, Huynh Thuc Khang Newspaper School was only able to organize one short-term course. The class took place over 3 months and trained outstanding students such as journalists Thep Moi, Chinh Yen, Tran Kien (Nhan Dan Newspaper); Mai Thanh Hai, Mai Ho (Cuu Quoc Newspaper) or director Bang Bao, writer Huu Mai, poet Hai Nhu, poet Tu Bich Hoang (Viet Phuong)...
With its important stature, the class received special attention when Uncle Ho twice sent letters of encouragement and advice to students. On July 6, 49, when the school held its closing ceremony, President Ho Chi Minh sent a letter of commendation and mentioned 4 main points about the tasks, principles, purposes, and subjects of each newspaper and the aim of the press.
According to journalist Phan Huu Minh - Former Head of the Inspection Committee of the Vietnam Journalists Association (member of the relic management board), although the class at that time only took place for 3 months, the teaching form was very specific on military, diplomatic, military schools, and arts in journalism.
For this class, the most important is Uncle Ho's 2 letters. In particular, he instructed students on Vietnamese journalism theory, making revolutionary newspapers must be for the purpose of serving the people and the Fatherland. When the class ended, Uncle Ho sent a letter urging the students to avoid being subjective and lacking in understanding. Up to now, these theories are still very practical, of great value to generations of young journalists to learn and follow.
