Dear visitors!

In terms of architecture, President Ho Chi Minh's childhood memorial house at Duong No village is a Hue traditional Rường house, with three compartments, two lean-tos, wooden walls and thatched roof, located in the Southeast. The house is located in a large campus surrounded by a green tea garden, 2 large plumeria trees with a wide canopy covering the whole roof. Coming to Uncle Ho's house, we feel like we are experiencing the peaceful and beautiful scenery of nature here, different from the hustle and bustle of the urban area.

The interior of the house is simple and convenient. The altar is placed at the middle. A wooden bed is located in the front where Mr. Sac sat to teach, there is a high and narrow table for Mr. Sac to put books, ink, pens and a few armrests used to rest his hands while talking. Classrooms do not have tables and chairs; Two sets of wooden bed are placed on both sides for students to sit and study. In the corner of the left room next to the middle, there is a wooden bed inlaid with bamboo, where Nguyen Sinh Khiem and Nguyen Sinh Cung often lie. The corner in the right compartment next to the middle one holds a wooden box containing Mr. Sac's belongings. The two lean-tos at two ends of the house are two rooms, the right room is for storing clothes for Mr. Sac and his two children, with windows and curtains, the right room is for storing rice and food. Connected to the main house is a horizontal house (thatched roof) with three compartments, the walls are made of bamboo plastered with soil, which is used as the family's kitchen.

Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac opened a class here for nearly two years from 1898 to 1900. Mr. Sac's students at first were Nguyen Viet Kien (son of Mr. Nguyen Viet Chuyen), Nguyen Si Kinh, Nguyen Si Mai, and Nguyen Si Khuyen. (son of Mr. Nguyen Si Do). After a short time, people in the village heard that there was a talented and benevolent teacher, so they asked for their children to study and two classes were formed (the older students preparing for the Huong exam and the new students entering the new class).

The content and curriculum of Mr. Sac followed the style acquired from Sinology books at that time. In addition, he also instilled in his students noble virtues such as: respect for morality, cultural traditions, history, love for the motherland, love for work, etc., which he left in his students’ mind with good feelings about the image of a virtuous and talented teacher.

For students, Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac did not collect tuition fees. In response, the students' family with a heart of respect for the teacher on the occasion of harvest, holidays, and national New Year brought gifts to the teacher such as rice, sticky rice, fruit, etc. During their stay here, in addition to teaching students. Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac continued to practice for the Metropolitan exam.

While living at Duong No village, Nguyen Sinh Cung also began to learn Chinese characters. Although just learning in short time, Nguyen Sinh Cung proved to be smart, well-acquired and retentive . Every day after listening to the lessons, Cung had to memorize and rewrite 8 pages of lessons, each page with 16 lines, 20 words in each line. Cung only memorized and practiced writing a few times to remember everything, without missing a single word. When students in the class often check each other on memorization, interpretation, and rewriting of the lessons, Mr. Sac's whole class admires Cung's intelligence, curiosity and memory. Nguyen Sinh Cung is polite, gentle, cheerful and upright to everyone. Out of lesson hours, Cung often goes fishing and flying kites at the communal house of Duong No village, Ben Da, Pho An village, Am Ba.
