Ho Xuan Huong's poetry conveys a deeply humanist thought of fighting for the right to life for people, first of all for women, and for equal rights between men and women. Embracing international and timeless ideological and artistic values, her poetry has been translated into 12 languages. In November 2021, UNESCO passed a resolution to honor and join in the celebration of the 250th birth anniversary and 200th death anniversary of Ho Xuan Huong.
Also on Saturday morning, President Phuc offered incense and flowers to commemorate Vietnam’s ancestors, heroes and martyrs. On this occasion, the President presented gifts to 30 policy families and people with meritorious services and donated 30 gratitude houses to families with extremely difficult circumstances in Quynh Luu district.
