Outstanding among the publications introduced to readers on this occasion is the book “Uncle Ho writes the Declaration of Independence” - a publication carefully compiled by author Kieu Mai Son with many valuable documents contributing to the study of the political text of the Declaration of Independence by President Ho Chi Minh, helping readers understand more deeply about an important historical moment of the Vietnamese nation.

In addition, the book “History of our country” with color illustrations is introduced to readers for the first time by Kim Dong Publishing House. This is a book written by Uncle Ho in the form of six-eight verse, recreating the history of Vietnam from the time of King Hung to 1941 - when he wrote this book of poems. The book of poems has two very famous first verses: at the beginning “Our people must know our history / To understand the origin of our country Vietnam”, which is remembered and passed down by all generations.
“Portraits of 15 Ministers of the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (August 1945)” is a rare publication that introduces complete portraits of 15 members of the cabinet of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in its early stages.

They were President Ho Chi Minh - concurrently Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Vo Nguyen Giap - Minister of the Interior; Tran Huy Lieu - Minister of Information and Propaganda; Nguyen Van To - Minister of Social Relief; Vu Dinh Hoe - Minister of National Education; Pham Ngoc Thach - Minister of Health; Pham Van Dong - Minister of Finance...

These memoirs not only help readers understand more about the portraits and lives of pioneering revolutionary leaders, but also about the historical, family, and social context that shaped the nation's outstanding children.
“Living in the Heart of Resistance” is a special diary of writer Nguyen Huy Tuong, truthfully recording the difficult but idealistic years of the resistance war against the French (1946–1954).
