1. Having gone through many difficulties, Vice President of the Veterans Association of Chau Thanh district, Long An province - Tran Anh Tuan thought that nothing could make him cry. But no, in the moment of visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, the veteran could not stop being moved and emotional. "Under the soft light, in a moderate and solemn space, the slow-moving crowd, seeing Uncle Ho in the mausoleum, my heart suddenly filled with emotion. The love for Uncle Ho rose in my heart when before my eyes was the image of the Father of the nation, the one who sacrificed his whole life for our country. I just wanted to linger longer to see Uncle Ho more clearly. I heard sobbing in the group. Surely everyone was moved, because I believe that in the heart of every Vietnamese child, there is love, respect and honor for Uncle Ho because of his heart for the nation and race" - Veteran Tran Anh Tuan shared.

For veteran Tran Anh Tuan, peace is precious, the historic Ba Dinh Square is a sacred place and visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum is an honor, fulfilling his lifelong wish.

For the veteran, the sacred emotion did not only come at the moment of seeing Uncle Ho. As soon as he set foot on Ba Dinh Square, where Uncle Ho read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, his heart was filled with emotion. Dedicating his youth to the peace of the country to fulfill his duty to his homeland, he clearly understood the sacredness of Independence Day. At the age of 18, after taking the university entrance exam, the young man Tran Anh Tuan followed the call of his homeland and joined the army. When the university admission notice was sent home, although he was very eager to go to the lecture hall, the young man decided to temporarily put aside his dream of studying. During the days when the war broke out at the Southwest border, Mr. Tuan volunteered to be on the front line, together with his comrades, doing international duty in a neighboring country until the day he was ordered to be discharged and return home to continue his studies.

Having stood on the brink of life and death on the battlefield, for Mr. Tuan, peace is precious, the historic Ba Dinh Square is a sacred place and visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum is an honor, fulfilling his lifelong wish. Mr. Tuan shared: "That time, knowing that the next morning I would visit Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, the night before I was restless, had trouble sleeping, and wished for the morning to come quickly. As soon as I set foot in the square, I felt an indescribable feeling welling up in my heart. My mood was like in the poem Visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum. After the trip, I felt empowered to do my duty better."

2. Emotion is the common feeling of the Southern people visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum. The sacred moment of seeing Uncle Ho makes each person more aware of their role and responsibility in the work of building their homeland.

During his time studying the Advanced Political Theory class at the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics in Hanoi, Deputy Secretary of the Can Duoc District Youth Union - Dang Vu Khanh had another chance to visit Uncle Ho's Mausoleum. Although it was the second time he visited Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, for Khanh, the feeling was still the same as the first time. Khanh shared: "When I saw Uncle lying there, his kind face, long beard, and silver hair, I wanted time to stop so I could look at him a little longer. That moment was so touching and sacred. I understood more about the history of the nation, about how Uncle Ho sacrificed his whole life for the country. From then on, I promised myself to be determined to train myself, improve my moral qualities, political qualities as well as professional skills to do my duty better, contributing to building a rich and strong homeland as Uncle Ho instructed".

Mr. Khanh is an exemplary Youth Union cadre with many achievements during his work. No matter what position or role he works in, he is always energetic, has many effective and practical models that bring benefits to the locality in general and to the youth in particular: Bamboo Supermarket, Accompanying Children to School, Baby's Vegetable Garden, Message Stone Bench,... For Mr. Khanh, participating in the Advanced Political Theory class in Hanoi and visiting Uncle Ho's Mausoleum is an opportunity to train himself so that when he returns to his work unit, he can work better and contribute more.

Thanks to his study trip to Hanoi, Mr. Khanh learned more about the flag raising and lowering ceremony at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum every day. Although it is a familiar ceremony, it always receives the attention and anticipation of the people of the capital. During his days in Hanoi, Mr. Khanh also woke up early and went to Ba Dinh Square to watch the flag raising ceremony. "That moment was truly meaningful and sacred to me. Looking at the national flag fluttering, I thought about the heroes who fell for the country, about the pain and loss left by the war that is still there and felt infinite gratitude. Waking up early to go to Ba Dinh Square to exercise and watch the flag raising ceremony here, we will feel love for the country, love life, love ourselves, love the place we live and love the word "peace" even more - Mr. Khanh confided.

During his lifetime, Uncle Ho once said: “The South is in my heart” and the South is the same, always respecting Uncle Ho. No matter how many years have passed, Uncle Ho’s image in the hearts of the children of the South in particular and the whole country in general is deeply imprinted in the hearts with boundless respect./.
