In this edition, the National Political Publishing House has refreshed the work with a system of vivid illustrations and many coloring pages, helping young readers to read and explore history through their own imagination.
This is a meaningful gift that parents can give to their children during the summer.
"Our people must know our history/To understand the origins of our Vietnamese nation." Perhaps few poems about the nation's history are as familiar to generations of Vietnamese people as the simple yet profound advice of President Ho Chi Minh more than 80 years ago.
Beyond simply reminding people of their origins, it was also his great desire for the nation's history to naturally, intimately, and emotionally resonate with the people.
In 1942 in Cao Bang , the book "History of Our Country" was published to serve the purpose of propaganda and education, fostering patriotism and national consciousness among the people.
With just 208 concise and easy-to-remember verses in the lục bát (six-eight) meter, President Ho Chi Minh summarized thousands of years of nation-building and national defense of the Vietnamese people, from the time of the Hung Kings to the mid-20th century.
Through simple yet deeply moving verses, history emerges as something more intimate and vivid, not just a series of dates or events, but like a heartfelt story told by grandparents and parents to their children about a resilient, indomitable, and patriotic nation.
More than eight decades have passed, yet the history of our country still retains its historical value, ideological significance, and enduring vitality in the hearts of readers.
The appeal of the work lies not only in its concise, concise, easy-to-remember, and easy-to-understand content, but also in the way it brings history to the masses through simple, familiar six-eight syllable verses.
In particular, in the final chronological section of the work, President Ho Chi Minh predicted that the Vietnamese nation would achieve independence in 1945, demonstrating his strong belief in the future of the revolution and the nation.
In this edition, the book has been revamped with a modern, lively, and interactive presentation style, contributing to an enhanced reading experience.
The colorful illustrations depict historical periods, key figures, and significant events of the nation, helping readers, especially children, easily visualize the arduous yet heroic journey of nation-building and defense undertaken by our ancestors.
History is not only read but also "touched" through color, imagination, and creativity.
Each page of the book becomes a journey of discovery, where national heroes, glorious battles, and sacred historical milestones come to life vividly through a multitude of colors.
In today's fast-paced modern life, where children are engrossed in phones, televisions, and electronic devices, the emergence of books that are both informative and interactive, such as "The History of Our Country," is essential.
Through each poem and each painting, patriotism and national pride are nurtured by emotion rather than the pressure of memorization.
The combination of Ho Chi Minh's intellectual legacy with modern forms of expression has allowed the nation's history, once recounted in the simple verses of President Ho Chi Minh, to continue being told with the colors, emotions, and love for Vietnam of today.
In the context of the nation facing new opportunities and challenges, President Ho Chi Minh's teachings on history, patriotism, and national consciousness continue to spread, contributing to fostering pride in the nation's glorious traditions, a sense of responsibility towards the homeland, and the aspiration to contribute to a peaceful, strong, prosperous, and happy Vietnam.
