Tan Trao - The starting point of historical events
(Baonghean.vn) -Tan Trao, formerly known as Kim Long (Golden Dragon), is the name of a commune (including the old Hong Thai commune) in Tuyen Quang province. In late May 1945, Uncle Ho and the Party's senior leaders moved from Cao Bang to Tan Trao to work. Hong Thai Communal House was the first place honored to welcome Uncle Ho. After a period of staying at a local's house (Mr. Nguyen Tien Su's house), Uncle Ho moved to Na Lua hut.

Also on August 13, 1945, the National Uprising Committee was established, headed by Comrade Truong Chinh, General Secretary of the Party. At 11:00 p.m. the same day, the Uprising Committee issued Military Order No. 1, ordering a general uprising to seize power.
At Hong Thai communal house, on August 16 and 17, 1945, the National Congress took place, chaired by Uncle Ho. The Congress had more than 60 delegates from the three regions of the North, Central and South; overseas Vietnamese delegates; representatives of political parties, people's organizations, ethnic groups and religions. The National Congress approved the General Uprising policy, passed the uprising order and 10 major policies:
1. Eliminate Japanese forces, eliminate Vietnamese traitors, and punish gangsters.
2. Confiscate the assets of traitors and traitors, depending on the case, to make them public property or to distribute to the poor.
3. Implement universal suffrage and other democratic freedoms.
4. Arm the masses, mobilize the masses to support the guerrillas and participate in the National Salvation Army to resist Japan.
5. Organize land reclamation, encourage reproduction, and implement economic self-sufficiency in liberated areas.
6. Limit working days, enforce social insurance laws, and rescue victims.
7. Redistribute public land, reduce rent, reduce profits and postpone debt.
8. Eliminate all lock-in and service charges, and plan to set up a single, light, progressive rent.
9. Fight illiteracy and provide military and political training to the people.
10. Equality of people, equality of men and women.
The Congress issued a call to arms for a national uprising and announced Uncle Ho's letter to the people of the whole country, calling on them to advance under the Viet Minh flag to liberate themselves. Also at the Congress, many major issues were decided with high consensus, such as the establishment of the National Flag, National Anthem, and the election of the Vietnam National Liberation Committee, which was the provisional government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, led by Uncle Ho. From this Congress, our people called Uncle Ho President Ho.
On the afternoon of August 16, 1945, under the shade of the Tan Trao banyan tree, following the order of the Uprising Committee, the liberation army commanded by comrade Vo Nguyen Giap held a ceremony to march to liberate Thai Nguyen town - the road to Hanoi.
Following Uncle Ho's teaching: "Even if we have to burn down the Truong Son mountain range, we must gain independence and freedom", the people of the whole country rose up together and successfully carried out the August 19 General Uprising. On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, Uncle Ho read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
