Kim Lien residents maintain altars to Ho Chi Minh

In Kim Lien commune, Nghe An province—the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh—residents maintain a tradition of keeping formal altars dedicated to the late leader within their homes.

Local residents, such as 80-year-old veteran Vuong Hong Minh, express that honoring Ho Chi Minh is a simple way to show respect for a leader they view as a close family member. These altars are often kept modest, featuring items like flowers and fruit from local gardens, reflecting the simple lifestyle Ho Chi Minh practiced during his life. This tradition remains a significant part of local culture, particularly during National Day celebrations.
