HO CHI MINH CITY Cheap Brandon Scherff Jersey , May 17 (Xinhua) -- Dozens of young women in pinkish "ao dai" holding stylized pink lotuses, the flower many people consider
Vietnam's floral emblem, gracefully danced here Sunday before the newly-erected
monument of Ho Chi Minh, the country's founding father and revolutionary leader.
On the sunny Sunday morning in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, dozens of teenagers in white costumes with Vietnamese pupils' red ties also sang and dance
joyfully in front of the 7.2-meter bronze monument, whose inauguration ceremony
was attended by over 2,000 Vietnamese senior officials and residents, including
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu
Trong.
Addressing the ceremony Cheap Josh Doctson Jersey , Party top leader Nguyen Phu Trong said the inauguration of the monument in front of the office of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee
at Nguyen Hue Square, which took place on the occasion of the 125th birthday of
the Vietnamese hero of national liberalization, is an important event of
political and cultural significance. "President Ho Chi Minh's contributions to
the Vietnamese revolution and Vietnamese people are immense like high mountains
and large seas...." He concluded that to save the country and liberalize the
nation, there are no ways other than proletarian revolution, that nothing is
more precious than independence and liberty, that national independence must be
associated with socialism, that solidarity, solidarity Cheap Montae Nicholson Jersey , great solidarity, success, success and great success".
The monument, including a 4.5-meter statue facing the Saigon River where he boarded a French ship in the summer of 1911 starting his long journey to seek
ways for national salvation, was completed after three years of design and
construction, meeting all thoughts, technical and aesthetical requirements, said
Le Thanh Hai Cheap Jonathan Allen Jersey , secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee. "The Uncle Ho's monument is placed in the city's administrative center which has the
most solemn, beautiful, and favorable location for Vietnamese people all over
the country and international friends to contemplate," Hai stated.
Vietnamese sculptor Lam Quang Noi, the monument's author, told Xinhua that he liked the statue's rubber sandals the best, because the sandals have gone down
in history, reflecting Uncle Ho' s simplicity Cheap Derrius Guice Jersey , industriousness and creativeness.
Uncle Ho designed the sandals himself and used an old tire to make them himself. The new statute represents Uncle Ho in his late 60s or early 70s
standing and raising his hand in salute. "Uncle Ho's statute must manifest his
nobleness, simplicity, truthfulness, gentleness, righteousness and closeness. I
have never met Uncle Ho, so it was hard for me to express his look and beauty,"
the 66-year-old sculptor said, blossoming into a pleasant smile on his moonlike
face with a wide forehead.
Before the new monument's inauguration Cheap Da'Ron Payne Jersey , the statue of late President Ho Chi Minh meeting children was relocated to the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House. The new monument better
reflects immense love of people in the southern Vietnam for Uncle Ho as well as
his love for them, Noi said.
Besides, in festive days, local people used to offer flowers and incenses at the statue of Uncle Ho meeting children. "Offering flowers and incenses to
children is not very reasonable,"said the sculptor who has so far made 50
monuments of Uncle Ho erected nationwide.
At the inauguration ceremony, a local young man named Huy Phuong said "The monument is marvelous. Nothing is more marvelous than walking in the pedestrian
street (Nguyen Hue Street) while contemplating Uncle Ho's gentle smile."
Standing besides the young man is a middle-aged woman who claimed herself a Buddhist. She told Xinhua that she regards Uncle Ho as Buddha. "Uncle Ho led a
very simple but very great life. He enlightened and saved not only one country
and one generation but many others," the woman said with a respectful look.
Like the woman, many Vietnamese individuals as well as organizations want to see more monuments of Uncle Ho. In late April Cheap Ryan Kerrigan Jersey , the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a seminar to collect suggestions about a national plan on developing monuments of late
President Ho Chi Minh till 2030.
To date, 134 monuments of Uncle Ho have been erected at campuses of organizations, agencies, squares, and administrative centers of cities and
provinces throughout Vietnam, the ministry said, adding that another 17 statues
have been constructed in 15 foreign countries.
Over the past four years Cheap Jordan Reed Jersey , representatives from agencies and localities, including Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Bac Ninh, where Uncle Ho paid visits to, have
proposed that a total of 58 new monuments should be erected, local media
reported late April.
The Ministry of Public Security last year proposed construction of 13 monuments of Uncle Ho at prisons Cheap Josh Norman Jersey , including Lam Thanh in Thanh Hoa Province, Ngoc Ly in Bac Giang Province, and Cam Lam in Quang Tri Province, local newspaper Kinh Te &
Do Thi (Economy and Urban Affairs) quoted Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and
Tourism Vuong Duy Bien as saying. However, such a proposal is most likely to be
rejected, another ministry official said.
At the seminar, many sculptors said that existing monuments are often too big and too high Cheap Trent Williams Jersey , making it difficult for people to contemplate. Besides, most of the monuments show Uncle Ho just in the position of standing and raising
or waving his hand, or in half-length statues.
At the seminar, Vietnamese sculptor Luu Danh Thanh said"Why do we make statues of Uncle Ho in the position of standing all the times? Why don't we let
Uncle Ho sit?"
Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Dinh Toan proposed that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism should organize contests to draw statues of Uncle
Ho with such topics as Uncle Ho with teenagers, with farmers, with workerIn
