In 1984, Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac (father of President Ho Chi Minh) passed his bachelor's degree in the Giap Ngo department at Nghe An exam school. One year later (1895), he entered the imperial city of Hue to take the first metropolitan examination, but did not pass. In order to continue his study and examination career, he asked someone to apply for his study at Quoc Tu Giam School in Hue. Studying at Quoc Tu Giam School, although he got a scholarship granted by the state, the scholarship was only symbolic, very meager including rice, oil and a few money which was not enough to live on. He returned to his hometown to discuss with his wife about bringing the whole family to Hue, so that he could focus on study and have the conditions to take care of his children. Sympathizing with her husband's plight, Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan (mother of President Ho Chi Minh) agreed to move her family to Hue.

At that time, for the people in Nghe An, the two words “going to the capital” implied many hardships. The road from Vinh to Hue at that time was still a winding and treacherous dirt road that went through many forests and mountains. Going by sea was faster, but it took a lot of money to hire a boat. On the road route, the mandarins and their families were served by service stations (one station at every 15km). Mr. Sac was not yet a mandarin and did not have money, so to moving for Hue, his whole family had to join a group of people walking and relying on each other for miles away, in order to prevent thieves and wild animals. As Cung was still a little child at that time, he was carried by his father, sometimes sitting in his mother's rattan, sometimes running and jumping on the road; together with pedestrians suffering from the sun and rain, climbing mountains, wading streams, eating and sleeping along the way for nearly one month to come to Hue Citadel.

To recreate the difficult and arduous journey of President Ho Chi Minh's family from Nghe An to Hue in 1895, the Ho Chi Minh Museum of Thua Thien Hue displays an iconic space complex of President Ho Chi Minh’s family when crossing Deo Ngang pass with the group of statues led by Nguyen Sinh Cung (5 years old) with a radiant, smart and handsome face; then came Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac with a solid and confident face; followed by Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan, with heavy rattans on her shoulders through a long and tiring journey; finally, Khiem, with a gentle gait, an innocent and curious face, about the majestic mountain scenery. At the foot of the group of statues is a layer of earth-brown belt, creating winding waves symbolizing the undulating and rugged mountainous road. On the belt, there is a picture of mountain scenes shown as the background for the group of statues to become more alive.
