The play leads the audience to recall happy, sad, and ups and downs of his childhood memories in Hue, as well as his time teaching in Phan Thiet and later Nha Rong Wharf, where Uncle Ho left to find a way to save the country...
The lyrics of the deep, warm and poignant Hue folk songs in the excerpt about Uncle Ho's life have especially moved viewers about his lost and painful childhood.
The play takes the audience back to the moment before Uncle Ho passed away, when he only wished to hear a Hue folk song, a couple of Quan Ho tunes, a folk song about his hometown, making the audience extremely emotional.
Meritorious Artist Nguyen Ngoc Binh, Director of Hue Opera and Drama Theater, along with his role as an author adapting Hue opera and director of the work, also took on the role of "Ho Chi Minh" in the play.
He confided that up to now, there have been many art units that have successfully created stage works about the image of Uncle Ho, such as the play"White Night," "Citizen No. 1," "Steel Verses," "Words of People, Words of the Country"...highlighting the character of a great leader, the supreme and talented commander of the nation, a great cultural figure, along with the noble virtues of: "Diligence, thrift, integrity, uprightness - Impartiality"...
The play"Ho Chi Minh - Red Memories"wanted to exploit another aspect - that is the drama in some stages of Uncle Ho's life, the everyday thoughts of a great man, also having happy times, sad times, ups and downs with the world. With this exploitation, the play has created very intense but very sincere emotions about Ho Chi Minh's soul.
Up to now, the play has received 30 awards, including gold medals, silver medals, and Certificates of Merit from central to local levels, including the "Special Outstanding Award" at the 2010 National Professional Theater Festival organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Da Nang.
The Central Propaganda Department presented four outstanding and typical awards to collectives and individuals with many achievements in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's moral example.../.
