A HISTORICAL LESSON IN THE BASEMENT BENEATH THE BAS-RELIEF

A HISTORICAL LESSON IN THE BASEMENT BENEATH THE BAS-RELIEF

Beneath the 9-meter high, 90-meter long bronze bas-relief is a spacious basement. The structure recreates the battles targeting the enemy’s key headquarters/agencies in Saigon during the Tết Mau Than Offensive of 1968.

🚧 Minh Phung Street;

🛫 Tan Son Nhat Airport;

🏥 A field hospital amidst the nipa palm forest…

All the artifacts, especially the 1:1-scale display boxes – recreated such vivid moments of history that there were times we almost felt as if we were standing right on that battlefield back then. 😮 🔥

There are so many ways for us to learn and love history: through books 📚, teachers’ explanations 💬, films 🎥, or through hands-on experiences 🙋‍♂️. Yet what matters most is not how many events or figures we can remember, but how we nurture our love for our homeland. 🥰

🌸 Every spring in our country is beautiful, whether it is the spring of 1975, bright with flags and flowers, or the spring of 1968, shrouded in smoke and fire…

🕊️ And from today’s lesson, it is our turn – the young green shoots of PHS – to continue adding color to the country’s spring with a spirit of learning and a determination to keep training ourselves.

Promise! 🫶
