  Hue

  Memorial relic of Uncle Ho's participation in the anti-tax movement at the Central Embassy, Hue In April 1908, there was a protest demanding tax reduction by the people of Thua Thien Hue. The protest took place from April 9, 1908 and climaxed on April 11, 1908 when farmers from 6 districts gathered to surround the Nunciature Palace to make demands. President Ho Chi Minh was still a student at that time, along with a number of other Quoc Hoc students who also joined the anti-tax protest group; "Uncle Ho" used his knowledge of French to help people as an interpreter. The Nunciature Palace no longer exists today, it was completely ruined in 1945. To remember this place, which witnessed the first patriotic actions of President Ho Chi Minh, the Ho Chi Minh Thua Thien Hue Museum Thien Hue erected a symbol of Nguyen Tat Thanh (President Ho Chi Minh) participating in the anti-tax movement in 1908 to commemorate.
