A live link-up TV program titled “Ho Chi Minh’s aspiration” marking the 125th anniversary of Uncle Ho's birthday was held in Hanoi’s Ba Dinh Square, Nghe An Province’s Hoang Tru village and Bitexco Financial Tower in Ho Chi Minh City on May 18.

The program revived the late President Ho Chi Minh’s 30-year long journey seeking a path for the national liberation. On June 5, 1911, 21-year-old Nguyen Tat Thanh (later known as Ho Chi Minh) left Sai Gon under the name of Van Ba to seek a way to liberate his country.
People’s Artist Thu Hien, Meritorious Artist Quang Ly, singers Lan Anh, My Linh, Nguyen Thao, Pham Thu Ha, and Vu Thang Loi performed popular songs portrayed him as a great and beloved leader of the nation in the program.
The event was broadcast live on VTV1 channel.
