The monumental painting is in a state of disrepair.

Eleven years after its inauguration, the monumental mural at the Central Committee Headquarters of the Southern Region National Special Historical Site (Tan Lap commune, Tay Ninh province) has deteriorated, affecting the aesthetics and historical value of the National Special Historical Site in this former war zone.

Construction of the monumental mural began on July 1, 2014.

The artwork was inaugurated on December 4, 2015. The mural measures 40 meters wide and 5 meters high.

The painting, made of fired ceramic, depicts the glorious victories and brilliant milestones of the Vietnamese nation during the 21-year resistance war against the US, under the leadership of the Party and beloved President Ho Chi Minh.

In 2019, the ceramic tiles bordering the painting began to peel off. Several items surrounding the painting, such as the water tank, flowerbeds, and steps, also had many ceramic tiles falling off. The floor tiles of the structure were chipped in several places.

At that time, the Management Board of Revolutionary Historical Sites in Southern Vietnam reported the situation to the Provincial People's Committee; the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Construction to lead a re-survey of the project.

However, due to the effects of the weather, the structure has once again deteriorated.

Recently, a delegation led by the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Le Van Han, visited to survey the current state of the monumental mural project.

Upon inspection, the monumental painting was found to be damaged in many places, with numerous ceramic motifs falling off or shattering.

Following the survey, provincial leaders requested relevant units to urgently review and propose appropriate investment and restoration plans, ensuring the maximum preservation of the original value of the historical site.

Recently, the number of visitors to the Central Committee Headquarters of the Southern Region has been increasing, including many groups who come to admire the monumental mural and take souvenir photos. Allowing the monumental mural to be damaged would negatively impact the aesthetics and historical value of this special national historical site in the former war zone.
