According to the elders, since the 1960s, after President Ho Chi Minh's call for tree planting during Tet, the locals have planted hundreds of soapberry trees on the road leading to the village. After nearly 60 years, overcoming the test of time and many historical changes, the soapberry trees in Uncle Ho's hometown are still green. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
