The exhibition is a reenactment of the meeting at Hoa Lo Prison between the families of two revolutionary soldiers, Mai Ngoc Thuyet and Nguyen Van Man. Both led active revolutionary lives and were imprisoned at Hoa Lo.
In early 1933, Man, a Provincial Party Committee member for North Vietnam, was captured and imprisoned in Bac Ninh before being transferred to Hoa Lo Prison. The reenactment depicts their final meeting before Man was sentenced to 20 years on Con Dao island, where he died in 1943.
The exhibition presents a touching story about the resilience and sacrifice of Vietnamese imprisoned soldiers at the prison.
Through exhibited documents and images, visitors also gain insights into the stories of revolutionary soldiers who were united by their ideals and shared purpose.
Valuable materials on key revolutionary movements were displayed at the event, including the Revolutionary movement (1930-1931) and the movement for freedom and democracy (1936-1939.
It also showcases historical landmarks where enemies once erected firing ranges, now transformed into memorials, contribute to educating generations on revolutionary traditions.
The exhibition runs until August 15 at the historical site of Hoa Lo Prison, Hanoi./.
