Through incomplete collection and compilation, there are hundreds of poems by authors from Bac Kan province written about the beloved President Ho Chi Minh. Notable authors include: Poet Nong Quoc Chan, Writer Nong Minh Chau, Writer Nong Viet Toai, Poet Trieu Kim Van, and Poet Duong Khau Luong.
The late poet Nong Quoc Chan wrote a series of poems about the beloved President Ho Chi Minh, notably "The Old Man's Soldiers," "The Pac Bo Poem," "Longing for Uncle Ho," "Listening to Uncle Ho Recite Poetry," etc. The poem "The Old Man's Soldiers" is the voice and sincere, simple heart of a mountain artist who had just joined the revolution. The image of the beloved President Ho Chi Minh is expressed in the poem in a simple, unadorned way, like the words of the mountain people:
"...And then there's an old man walking barefoot."
Wearing Nung traditional clothing,
He held a rattan stick in his hand.
He had a smokeless pipe in his mouth.
His long beard was both white and black.
His limbs are as nimble as a young man's...
The old man smiled and waved to the person waiting to greet him.
People whispered to each other: "What kind of soldiers are these? They're all strangers!"
Perhaps this is the "Pointing Coffin" person… When eating dinner, the soldiers would count: one, two… sit still.
The old man went from table to table, checking the bowls and chopsticks.
Blow the whistle, then the old man can eat.
Everyone invited each other
Light torches and go see the old man's army.
When the elderly arrived, the old man cordially invited them to sit down.
The children came again, the old man picked them up and stroked their heads… The old man spoke, and the people heard every word clearly.
"We want the revolution to succeed quickly!"
We must unite like a bundle of chopsticks!
The poem "Bamboo of Pac Bo" by the late writer and poet Nong Minh Chau is the heartfelt expression of the people of Viet Bac for their beloved President Ho Chi Minh. In 1961, President Ho Chi Minh returned to Pac Bo and planted a clump of bamboo at the headwaters of the Lenin stream, which has now become a forest. He has passed away, but the bamboo forest he planted continues to flourish, like his love illuminating the villages for a thousand years.
"Even though Uncle Ho has gone far away, the bamboo remains."
Each year, many red bamboo shoots sprout.
Whether it's sunny, rainy, or stormy.
The bamboo remains vibrant green amidst the reddish hues… Uncle Ho is gone, leaving behind these bamboo forests.
Just as Uncle Ho left behind for Viet Bac
Includes village names, mountain names, river names,
They are all names of famous victors..."
"Bân din Bác Hồ" (Heaven and Earth of Uncle Ho) is a bilingual Tay-Vietnamese poem by writer and poet Nong Viet Toai that offers a different, profound perspective on the beloved President Ho Chi Minh. Having lived through and witnessed the dark lives of the enslaved people under the colonial and feudal regimes, the poem highlights the deep gratitude of the people of all ethnic groups for the immeasurable contributions of the beloved President Ho Chi Minh.
"Without Uncle Ho, there would be no heaven."
"Land exists only when there are people."
Thanks to him, our country has achieved independence, freedom, and happiness: " Uncle Ho's victory at Pac Bo."

(Translation: Uncle Ho returned to Pac Bo / People and plants also stretched themselves; / Knowing there is a high sky / Birds are growing wings; / Knowing there is a vast land / The convoy of vehicles is installing wheels; / Uncle Ho returned to Hanoi / There was the Ba Dinh festival / Only then was there a blue sky for the Fatherland / There is a country, a homeland / Only with Uncle Ho is there sky / Only with people is there land / Now Uncle Ho has passed away / We vow to forever preserve Uncle Ho's land and sky for future generations).
Poet Trieu Kim Van has works such as "The Pac Bo Poetry Collection," "Visiting Uncle Ho," and "Uncle Ho with the Children of Viet Bac." His poem "Fairy" reflects the subtle perspective and profound feelings of this Dao ethnic poet towards Uncle Ho – the brilliant leader, the great teacher, and the great cultural figure of the nation.
"Ancient fairy tales said that the immortals were skilled poets."
Reading Uncle Ho's poems makes one think he's a fairy.
Tien is from Kim Lien.
Born into a humble thatched house… Though not a fairy, she was still a skilled poet.
"He was more than just a pioneer in building a Vietnamese nation."
Beloved Uncle Ho was not only a talented poet, but even more than a poet, because he built the foundation for an independent, free, and happy Vietnam!
Poet Duong Khau Luong has a collection of three poems, including: "Visiting Uncle Ho's House," "Uncle Ho's Simplicity," and the bilingual Tay-Vietnamese poem "Na Tu Chu Chin Uncle Slang" (Na Tu remembers Uncle Ho's teachings). Recently, the poet released a bilingual Tay-Vietnamese children's narrative poem "Lan Toen Ban Hon Lap Bac Ho" (Telling the story of Ban Hon welcoming Uncle Ho). With its simple writing style, easy-to-read five-word verses, and illustrations of beautiful and vivid pictures of Uncle Ho and his troops passing through the village in the past, the work has been loved and well-received by children.
"Hon village, calf village, eng village"
Dú tin liệp Pù Nam
Stripes bounce and push the noodles
The vast expanse of trees... The fishing boats are scattered everywhere.
Khửn tàng pây tức slấc
The child's independent side
Need to push to win
Han Ban Hon added
(Translation: Bản Hon – a small village/ At the foot of Pù Nam mountain/ Now a prosperous village/ Green, fertile fields/ Long, wide main road… Where Uncle Ho once rested/ On his path of resistance/ To win freedom and independence/ Today, whoever comes/ Will love Bản Hon even more)...
Remembering Uncle Ho, writing about our beloved President Ho Chi Minh with heartfelt reverence, alongside writers and poets, there are also authors from many different ethnic groups and age groups in Bac Kan. These include authors such as: Van Loi, Ha Si Thuyet, Ha Huu Nghi, Trieu Huu Dinh, Ma Phuong Tan, Hoang Thi Diem, Quach Dang Tho, Dinh Huu Hoan… In addition, many works by Tay, Nung, and Dao authors have set lyrics to the Then and Sli melodies, such as: Nong Trong Quyet, Ha Duc Dinh, Ma Van Vinh, Ly Thi Nhan, Dang Quan Vuong, Trieu Duc Doan, Vu Van Quynh, Duong Thuyet Cam, Trieu Sinh, Hoang Cao… These songs, melodies, and Then tunes are resounding daily on the airwaves of the Voice of Vietnam Radio and the radio and television stations of the Viet Bac provinces, spreading love and faith in Uncle Ho to countless hearts…
As a dedicated and dedicated individual who diligently researched, collected, and compiled the book "Bac Kan: Places Uncle Ho Once Visited," author Van Loi also wrote many poems about the beloved President Ho Chi Minh, notably: "Pac Bo in March"; "Remembering Uncle Ho in Lang Sen"; "Remembering Uncle Ho in Cang Lo"; "Uncle Ho Visits the Dao Village"... "Remembering Uncle Ho in the Forest" is a deeply moving poem expressing the feelings of the people of Viet Bac upon hearing the news of Uncle Ho's passing.
"Today, amidst the mountains and forests of Viet Bac"
I heard that President Ho Chi Minh went to meet Karl Marx and Lenin.
White clouds draped in mourning cloths over the mountaintop.
And tears fall in every heart…”
The late author and veteran Ha Si Thuyet, in his first and last poetry collection titled "Land of Memories," included four poems about the beloved President Ho Chi Minh: Pac Bo Spring; Remembering Uncle Ho on the Lantern Festival; Visiting Uncle Ho's House; and Remembering Uncle Ho at Duc Thanh School. The poem "Remembering Uncle Ho on the Lantern Festival" expresses the heartfelt longing and remembrance of artists and writers in the mountains of Viet Bac for the beloved President Ho Chi Minh every time Tet (Lunar New Year) and spring arrive.
"Remembering springs of yesteryear amidst the mountains and forests of Viet Bac"
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Uncle Ho discussed military matters.
Blending the poetic soul of the leader.
The boat was bathed in the vast expanse of silvery moonlight…
Spring has returned to the mountains and forests of Viet Bac.
Thousands of flowers and grasses display their colors amidst the hillsides.
Lenin Stream reflects the image of Marx Mountain.
The full moon of spring shines brightly...
The author, veteran Ha Huu Nghi, has had three poetry collections published, including the collection titled "Springtime Remembers Uncle Ho," which contains many poems about the beloved President Ho Chi Minh: Springtime Remembers Uncle Ho; May Remembers Uncle Ho; Uncle Ho's New Year Greetings to Wounded Soldiers... The poem "There is a man who travels the world" expresses admiration, trust, and respect for the beloved leader who traveled across five continents in search of a way to save the country, sacrificing his entire life for the nation and its people.
"His merits"
Like deep rivers and vast oceans
But there wasn't a single medal on his chest.
All a person needs is love for all the people.
"His family is the Vietnamese Fatherland..."
Nearly six decades have passed since President Ho Chi Minh's passing, yet his image lives on in the hearts of every Vietnamese person and millions of progressive people around the world. A short article cannot possibly express the deep affection, respect, and gratitude of the people of Bac Kan for their beloved President Ho Chi Minh. Nor can it adequately convey the boundless love and affection he had for his homeland of Bac Kan, as expressed in his poetry and songs… Allow me to borrow two lines from the poem "Remembering President Ho Chi Minh in the Forest" by Van Loi to conclude this short article:
"The gratitude we owe to Uncle Ho is something that countless streams cannot recount."
"One would have to pluck leaves from the forest and count them for a thousand years."
