President Ho Chi Minh was the founder and founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam - the first people's democratic state in Southeast Asia.

The book Ho Chi Minh - Illustrated Biography aims to outline the life and career, highlighting the important contributions in the revolutionary journey of President Ho Chi Minh.
Through 7 parts, readers can visualize the entire life of President Ho Chi Minh's vibrant and rich revolutionary activities: leaving to find a way to save the country from Saigon port; traveling to many countries and continents to broaden his vision of the world; becoming the first Vietnamese communist and actively developing the international communist movement; organizing the conference to establish the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1930; going through years of hard imprisonment for patriotism; returning to the Fatherland to lead the Vietnamese revolution and launching the August General Uprising in 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam; leading the young revolutionary government to enter the long-term resistance war against the French and winning the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu in 1954; continuing to lead the entire army and people to enter the resistance war against the US, aiming at the goal of national reunification.
Each page of the book will bring a small story about a piece of President Ho Chi Minh's life, from which it synthesizes a relatively complete portrait of the modern leader of the Vietnamese people.
In addition, at the end of each section, there is a brief overview of the world situation corresponding to each stage in Uncle Ho's life and career. Based on that, readers can have a broader view of the contemporary world scene and better understand Uncle Ho's journey from Sen village to the Presidential Palace.
The publication Ho Chi Minh - A Biography in Pictures not only tells the story in words, but also in pictures, with nearly 700 photos, drawings, photographs of artifacts and monuments, along with a number of maps and diagrams.

Through the language of images, the life and legacy of President Ho Chi Minh will be vividly portrayed, making it easy for a wide range of readers to understand.
