In the early days of the August Revolution in 1945, the house was the workplace of the Party Central Committee and President Ho Chi Minh. Here, President Ho Chi Minh and the Party Central Committee decided on many important policies on domestic and foreign affairs, on the institutions and composition of the provisional government, on the organization of Independence Day, etc.
It was in the small room on the second floor of the house that President Ho Chi Minh wrote the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. With its stature and contemporary ideology, the Declaration of Independence is the crystallization of the thousand-year-old traditional values of the Vietnamese people with the aspiration for independence - freedom - happiness, and at the same time contains universal values of humanity regarding human rights and the right to national self-determination.
Comrade Bach Lien Huong shared that today's historical space is recreated through scientific exhibitions, applying modern technology such as Mapping, VR, and hologram technology, with deep documentary and high heritage education value. This is the result of a serious process of conservation - research - creation, demonstrating Hanoi's commitment to innovating approaches and enhancing the work of promoting cultural heritage values in the context of digital transformation.

Topic 2: Historical context and the necessity of the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, the birth of the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945 was a historical necessity, reflecting the burning desire for independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people after many years of colonial rule.
This is not only a political and legal declaration of the birth of an independent nation, but also a righteous voice, clearly expressing basic national rights, carrying profound humanistic values, in line with the development trend of the times, opening a new era: the era of independence, freedom and progress for the country.
Hologram technology was used to recreate the image of President Ho Chi Minh sitting to draft the historical document "Declaration of Independence", combined with Mapping technology to recreate the scene of President Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam at Ba Dinh Square.
Using VR technology to create a realistic scene of Hanoi in 1945, re-envisioning the country's situation at the time of transition, the scene of the capital nearly a century ago with old streets, Hanoi people in costumes of that period, and the boiling atmosphere of the August Revolution.

Topic 3: The significance of the Declaration of Independence and the journey to protect national independence. Specifically, the Declaration of Independence is a "great piece of literature" about human rights and basic national rights of peoples in the world, affirming the sacred and inviolable right of our people to independence and freedom, and at the same time the aspiration and spirit of steadfast struggle to maintain that freedom and independence.
