Loving nature and being close to nature, during his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh not only lived and worked in a cool green space, but also had very progressive thoughts and philosophies on protecting the ecological environment and natural resources. The view of living in harmony and improving nature to serve human interests has always been his great aspiration with the desire to be able to cover all parts of the country with greenery, so that Vietnam can forever preserve the invaluable resource of "golden forests" for future generations.
At the end of the year of the Pig, on November 28, 1959, President Ho Chi Minh launched:Spring is the season for planting trees/To make the country more and more springy.
