(Baonghean.vn) - During his journey to find a way to save the country until the country became independent, and then until the last years of his life, beloved Uncle Ho only managed to visit his homeland twice. However, until today, in the hearts of the people of Nghe An, the memories of Uncle Ho's visits to his homeland are still intact, filled with so many emotions.

In 1961, Nghe An solemnly welcomed Uncle Ho back to his hometown for the second time. The Provincial Party Committee and People's Committee had two old cars, so they had to borrow a new car from Military Region IV, spread white sheets inside the car, and decorated the car with splendid flowers to go to the airport to welcome Uncle Ho.

At exactly 12:30 on December 8, Uncle Ho's plane landed at Vinh airport. Military Region IV Political Commissar Chu Huy Man, Provincial Party Secretary Vo Thuc Dong, and Provincial People's Committee Vice Chairman Vo Trong An invited Uncle Ho to get on the flower-decorated car. Looking around, Uncle Ho quickly walked to the security guard's Uoat and sat on the front seat. He asked to remove the canvas so he could wave to the people standing on both sides of the road to welcome him.

On the morning of December 10, 1961, Uncle Ho visited Vinh Thanh high-class cooperative, the leading tree planting movement in the North.

As soon as he raised the umbrella, Uncle Ho pushed it away and said: "I am not feudal". He pointed down at the sea of ​​people below, also standing in the sun. Everyone was moved by his behavior.

On the morning of December 8, Uncle Ho returned to Kim Lien, but an unexpected thing that was not in the plan was that he decided to visit Hoang Tru village, his mother's hometown first. He met Mr. Luoc (Thuyen) - his childhood friend - and recalled the memories of his childhood when he went fishing, and accidentally Luoc pulled out the hook and tore his ear, which still has a scar, making everyone very surprised at his strange memory.

Returning to his paternal hometown, Uncle Ho inquired about the plight of a poor neighbor, about Coc well and the old Dien forge. At the guest house, Uncle Ho personally poured water for the elders. Talking to everyone, Uncle Ho happily praised Nam Lien commune for doing well what he had taught, and for three consecutive years, the Government awarded him three medals for the work exchange team, the agricultural cooperative movement and the eradication of illiteracy.
