revolutionary government.
In 1946, the Government, President Ho
Chi Minh and Finance Ministry decided to choose Chi Ne plantation (now located
in Co Nghia commune) owned by Do Dinh Thien as a money-printing factory of the
Democratic Republic of Vietnam. For the first time, banknotes of the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam were printed and circulated nationwide thanks to the
factory’s staff. Thien was a patriotic capitalist who donated his family’s
legacy to the fight for national independence and freedom. Chi Ne plantation
was also a place where Party and State high-ranking officials stopped for a
short while, including President Ho on February 19 and February 21, 1947 during
his working trip to the central province of Thanh Hoa.
Accompanied by Finance Minister Le Van
Hien and Director of the factory Pham Quang Chuc, the leader talked with
officials, workers and guards of the factory.
Dinh Thi Binh, deputy head of the
district’s relic site management board, said the factory was classified as a
national relic site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2007.
Work started on the relic site in 2010 covering
15.5 hectares with a
view to restoring the money-printing factory.
The site is currently divided into
three major areas, including a memorial dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh
which welcomes numerous visitors during holidays, a money-printing factory
(1946-1947) with two rows of artifacts and a banknote warehouse.
The factory was also named in the
Guinness Vietnam records as the first of its kind in the country./.

The Party Committee of Lac Son district on May 15 organised a seminar to celebrate the 134th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890-2024) and evaluate the results of the three-year implementation of the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW, dated May 18, 2021, on continuing to implement Directive No. 05-CT/TW on promoting the learning and following of the late leader’s ideology, morality, and lifestyle.
A delegation of Hoa Binh leaders led by alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long offered incense to President Ho Chi Minh at the late leader’s statue at the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, on the occasion of his 134th birthday (May 19, 1890 - 2024).
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Tai Ba, chairman of the Truong Son-Ho Chi Minh Trail traditional association in Hoa Binh province, and his comrades have recalled the days of building and protecting the arterial supply route for the southern battlefield as the Traditional Day of Truong Son Army Corps (May 19, 1959) is approaching.
After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
