This is the title of the fifth book by Dr. Chu Duc Tinh (former Director of the Ho Chi Minh Museum) about President Ho Chi Minh. The author is one of the few in-depth researchers on President Ho Chi Minh, with the aim "to prove a confirmed truth: President Ho Chi Minh is an exemplary communist, a leader whose words are consistent with his actions" – as the author shared at the beginning of the book.

The places where His footprints are kept

During his childhood, President Ho Chi Minh and his family lived, worked, studied, and participated in patriotic activities in Thua Thien Hue for nearly 10 years. This was during the period of 1895 - 1901, when He was known as Nguyen Sinh Cung (from 5 to 11 years old), and the second period of 1906 - 1909, when He was known as Nguyen Tat Thanh (from 16 to 19 years old).

Hue youth and the passion for skateboards

Every day at around 4:30 p.m., as long as it doesn't rain, at Thuong Bac Park, Da Vien Park, or at the foot of Truong Tien Bridge, we can easily catch up with a group of about 20 young men and women, who wear loose sportswear, suede flats, and hold skateboards. They often practice and perform attractive sliding movements.
