PSNews – The Vietnam National Museum of History on October 10 held an exhibition entitled “Light from “Duong Kach menh”” on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the first issue of President Ho Chi Minh’s “Duong Kach menh” (Revolutionary Path) book (1927 – 2017).

The exhibition is expected to give the young generation an insight into the vision and greatness of President Ho Chi Minh.

“Duong Kach menh”, featuring the core theme of Marxism-Leninism and basic development directions for the Vietnamese revolution, was used by President to teach Vietnamese revolutionary cadres from 1925 to 1927 in Guangzhou (China).

In the light of book "Duong Kach menh", the first group of trained young revolutionary cadres then came back to Vietnam under the direction of President Ho Chi Minh to prepare for the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1930.

"Duong Kach menh" was first published in Guangzhou in 1927. The book’s copies were then secretly shipped to the Vietnam before 1930.

The book currently stored at the Vietnam National Museum of History is one of some copies of the first edition in 1927 and was recognized as a National Treasure in 2012 by the Prime Minister.

Alongside with the display of a “Duong Kach Menh” print, more than 150 documents, artefacts, and photos are also showcased at the event. The exhibits include a suitcase used by comrade Bui Ngoc Thanh while participating in the political training class in Guangzhou (China); a typewriter that comrade To Hieu and comrade Luong Khanh Thien used for revolutionary activities in 1936.

The exhibition will last for 3 months.
