Today, I'd like to tell you about a special person who contributed a lot during the war in the past. His name is Ho Chi Minh, also known as 'Uncle Ho' in my country. He was born on May 19th, 1890, during a time when our country was under foreign rule. The invaders were brutal, even beating children and the elderly. They forced residents to pay taxes and work long hours without pay or food. Witnessing this injustice, Ho Chi Minh decided to travel to other countries, hoping to learn how to make weapons like guns and bombs to fight back. I don't remember the exact date, but it was around mid-November 1911 when Ho Chi Minh went abroad and began his journey. During this time, he experienced many different jobs, working as a chef, a factory worker, even cleaning houses for people. Despite working long hours, he still dedicated time to learning the languages of the countries he visited. He wanted to understand and communicate with the people there. I first heard this story from my father, and later, my high school teacher helped me understand it better. I had a lot of time and opportunities in school to learn more about these historical figures. In addition to using modern technology like smartphones, laptops, and television to recreate historical events, it helped me feel independent, confident, and prepared to face challenges in my life. These historical figures inspire me. I also learned about their heroic achievements and feel proud. Ho Chi Minh, in particular, inspires me a lot.
