By the Lo River, Uncle Ho's voice is still warm.

According to historical documents, in the first months of 1947, the French colonialists expanded their scope of operations to the free zone to prepare for an attack on Viet Bac, so every day in the sky of Phu Tho, there were enemy planes spying and bombing.

Therefore, the locations where President Ho Chi Minh and the Central Office were located could not stay for long and had to be changed frequently. At 7:00 p.m. on March 29, 1947, Uncle Ho and his delegation left Chu Hoa and traveled along National Highway 2 through the communes of Tien Kien (Lam Thao), Phu Loc, Phu Ho, Chan Mong (Phu Ninh) on a distance of nearly 50 km. They did not arrive at the new location of Yen Kien commune (Doan Hung district) until 5:00 p.m. on March 30, 1947.

Uncle Ho's temple in Yen Kien commune (Doan Hung, Phu Tho) was built spaciously.

In Yen Kien, the comrades in the Central working team and local cadres arranged for Uncle Ho to stay at Mr. Nguyen Huu Da's house in Dinh Mu hamlet. It was a three-room wooden house with a thatched roof, more than 2 km west of National Highway 2, behind the house was a forest. The house had three rooms, but the middle of the house had a desk, so it was very cramped, so at night when going to sleep, Uncle Ho and his serving comrades had to remove the door and put it on the ground to make a bed. During the days in Yen Kien, enemy planes were active every day, flying very low to scout the situation, so Uncle Ho and his comrades had to bring their backpacks and documents into the forest to work during the day, and only return home to sleep at night.

Yen Kien land is adjacent to the Viet Bac base, the workplace of the Central Party and Government during the resistance war, so Uncle Ho worked a lot. Comrades Nguyen Luong Bang and Tran Dang Ninh often came to report on their work to Uncle Ho. During his days in Yen Kien, Uncle Ho signed two decrees: Decree No. 39/SL "Cancel all types of registration stamps and credit certificates in circulation before February 19, 1946, and set new methods of collecting taxes and registration stamps"; Decree No. 40/SL "Allow a Chinese citizen to acquire Vietnamese nationality".

Also according to historical documents, from the end of March 1947 onwards, the war became increasingly widespread. The French colonialists hastily prepared to launch a large-scale attack on Viet Bac in order to capture the resistance headquarters and destroy our main force. Faced with that situation, President Ho Chi Minh and the Party Central Committee moved to the Viet Bac base to directly direct the entire Party, the entire army, and the entire people to carry out the sacred resistance war against the invading French colonialists, protecting national independence. On the evening of April 1, 1947, the car took Uncle Ho to Tuyen Quang.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Da's house - where Uncle Ho used to live and work.

The President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Yen Kien was recognized as a provincial historical and cultural relic on December 11, 2008. In March 2017, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Uncle Ho's return to work in Yen Kien, Doan Hung District (Phu Tho Province) started construction of a project to preserve and restore the relic in Zone 4, Yen Kien Commune, on the land of Mr. Nguyen Huu Da. The project was inaugurated in September 2018. The memorial site includes construction items such as the entrance gate, memorial house, house where Uncle Ho lived and worked, garden, fish pond. Every year, the relic site welcomes thousands of tourists and people from all over to visit and experience.

The memorial site is a historical site associated with the extremely arduous revolutionary journey of Uncle Ho on the way back to the Viet Bac base in the early days of the resistance war against French colonialism. Here, by the gentle Lo River, Uncle Ho's words and his sacred images on the midland land of Doan Hung still echo, a "red address" in the journey back to the source of today's and future generations.
