Ten years ago I attended a conference of HIV / AIDS, Gender, and Leadership in Hanoi, Vietnam. One
day was a lecturer unable to attend, I joined two colleagues from
Indonesia and Laos to visit historical places in Honai, Ho Ci Minh
Moseleum which is located not far from Army Hotel, where we stayed
while. The
streets of Hanoi City filled two-wheeled motor vehicle in motion as if
the flow of ocean waves with the sound of the horn that fulfills the
crowd. We took a taxi, a small car that drove over the asphalt slippery roads, the riders are quite friendly.Shortly
after leaving the Army Hotel we reached the destination, the beginning
we walked around in the neighborhood of Ho Chi Minh Museum, the
Presidential Palace and the yellow-walled two-story houses on stilts
that are too simple as a presidential residence. In the surrounding neighborhood is a lake and park with trees that shade. Finally we headed to the crowded center coincides with the anniversary of independence. The same date as the day of mourning when the President passed away, 2nd September 1969 at the age of 79 years. Ho Chi Minh was born on May 19th, 1890 from married couples Nguyen Sinh Sac and Hoang Thi Loan.The
new state ceremony finished, the crowd is not over, we passed several
examinations, leaving the bag and the camera then joined the long line
to the Ho Chi Minh Moseleum, majestic granite building which was heavily
guarded for 24 hours. At first the sun seared, more and more dim, as we stood on the applicability to the first stair building "sacred" it. At
first they heard a human voice say, but the longer the speech was
growing quietly until it stopped altogether, which left the sound of
feet up the stairs without a word. Cold
air ambushed when they first step on the ladder in the building of
granite, the longer the air gets cold, narrow corridor without daylight,
fluorescent lights except the dim strengthen mellow atmosphere. I forget the atmosphere in the outdoors, sucked into silence long
lines of pilgrims, waiting for the seconds determines to stare at the
figure lying peacefully in the eternal rest forever.Memorable moment finally arrived, on a rectangular niches with surrounding corridor. The
pilgrims converge in a long line silently, staring at one point, faint
sound of sobbing women to participate sayapun eyes glazed. The entire pairs of eyes glued to the middle of the room, a prayer in the deepest recesses of the heart. Inside
the glass casket looked a body lying in the bed as if he were dreaming a
long, dark color safari shirt, covered up to the waist in a similar
color boundaries. Yellow glowing lights shining on the figure, the face of the President looked calm, without fear or anxiety. Ho
Chi Minh City is not just a fighter who later became the first
president sworn in Vietnam, he is uncle to all the people of Vietnam. Colleagues of Vietnam always said, "He is my uncle," with compassion and pride. All
currencies Vietnam Dong displays the face of the uncle, in every room
of protocol statue or picture of Uncle Ho always appear as pride. Along the way was a picture of the President with a boy in uniform Praja Muda Karana, helping wearing a neck tie.Uncle
Ho beat Lyndon Johnson's war strategy repel enemy soldiers of the
homeland, in the guerrilla attack corrugated forwarded all fighters. His remarks are always remembered are:
"You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win. It was patriotism, not Communism, that inspired me.
