111 years ago, on June 5, a young man named Nguyen Tat Thanh, who later became President Ho Chi Minh, left Vietnam from Nha Rong harbor in Ho Chi Minh City on a French ship, beginning a 30-year journey to find a path to national salvation for Vietnam. The path he chose through national liberation to socialism has faithfully guided Vietnam’s development.
