Today I visit Vietnam War Remnants Museum ( 17/06/2008)

It is one of Vietnam's high ranked museums in the region. The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City is not only a place to store the warlike artifacts of Vietnam, but more than that, the museum is the place to call for peace in the world.

In general, if you come to Vietnam, you should take the time to learn about the war in Vietnam will be great.

I would like to mention some basic information about the war memorial museum.

This building was erected in September 1975 with the first name is "The exhibition of American crime - Wei."

Ha ha, you can see that as soon as the Vietnamese communist troops won they made a building to display the crime of the losing side.

Actually I do not like this too much, it's a little bit of a banner. Which refers to the communist propaganda, you can imagine then.

  Then in 1990 it was renamed the "House of War Crimes of War". Formally became the "War Remnants Museum" on July 4, 1995. Since then, the museum has been constantly improving with annual exhibitions, short or mobile exhibits. Such as finding more artifacts to help the public have the most accurate view of the loss, sacrifice and loss of Vietnam through the war.

The museum is divided into two areas, including a document display area, a picture depicting the Vietnam War and a display area.

In addition to the display area, which includes a permanent display booth, an infrequent display booth, a mobile display booth, the museum also has a display area. Most of the artifacts here are displayed outdoors because of the large size of the artifacts and need a large space for visitors to admire, learn. Among the artifacts that could be followed by the Aircraft Collection; Cannon Collection; Tank Collection; Bomb collection ...

The exhibits area with airplane collections, artillery collection, bomb collection ... impressed visitors.

But the artifact left a lot of excitement, the most perverse at the museum may have to mention the guillotine ..

These collections, impressive for me, are understandable because in reality, very few people are able to see things like tanks, military aircraft, bombs ... unless they go to military museums. But the artwork left many emotions, the most pain for me to mention the guillotine. This machine was brought to Vietnam by the French colonialists to suppress the people during the resistance war for independence of the country in the early 20th century. After the Geneva Agreement, the old Saigon authorities have taken this guillotine around Provinces in the south to execute patriots. After the country was completely liberated, this murder machine was brought here to prove the war crimes of the French colonialists.

 Also in 2012, the world-famous travel website TripAdvisor has ranked Vietnam War Remnants Museum in the Top 10 among the most fascinating museums in Asia.

Last month, the rankings of the museum in the rankings were raised to 5 ranks fifth in the list of 25 fascinating museums of the Asian region, also voted by TripAdvisor.

Here I will share with everyone the experience of visiting the museum the day I was in 9th grade, at which time I was honored to be the lack of Vietnamese fortune (this is compulsory to join with all Vietnamese children. ) Visit this museum. I am only sorry that I did not pay attention at taking photos :( :( :(

If on normaly Suday  at home, everyone would have plenty of plans to go. But today, one day I thought it was very meaningful, in just about an hour, but it changed my mind. Today I visit the War Remnants Museum.

Although I have learned about the war for national independence through history, when I came here, it felt like I was living upright ... fearing, pitying, pained ... The eyes of the photos, documents and figures about the war that imperialism has caused on our country, along with the pain our compatriots suffered from the war to When the war was over. Each picture, each artifact in this place has said how fierce war and the people of Vietnam are resilient, unyielding, peaceful love, the homeland all stars have been reconstructed in the rooms. .

First, when I set foot in the museum, my eyes were the modern means to serve any war, aircraft, tanks, bombs, guns of all kinds, which could see the scale of the war. How big In turn, visiting the showroom of my emotions so constantly changing. I also do not know how to express how my people have suffered so many sufferings, thousands of families, fields have become the result of the terrible scourge. The empire gives our S-shaped land, and the occasional spread of bomb storms to destroy innocent people where they come is typically the brutal massacre of hundreds of thousands. I have been innocent in Son My for 4 hours and most of all in deep mental pain when the war has been over for more than 35 years and generations still suffer from its leftover traces. " Orange "," leftover mine ".

Going through the showrooms, nobody rushed through the photos that had gone green in years. I was shocked to see the scene of the killing of innocent civilians, the spraying of Agent Orange bombs, the torture of American prisoners through photographs.

The most impressive thing for me was the picture of US Army soldiers carrying a human head and still posing posing for the photo's author - a Japanese photographer when taking the picture must also say "He is a demon, not a person", let alone I'm a man of the same race, the color of the victim is not afraid to be afraid. It is sad to know how human beings are so cruel to each other.

Then came a picture of a mother and her children crossing the river to avoid American bombs and I was not happy. Fear, fear, anxiety revealed on the face of the mother and her children. War makes people really mental depression, physical suffering ...

Although peace has been repeated for many years, its consequences are so great - "Agent Orange" ... the very abominable poison that has made many generations under the influence. Very large though was born in peacetime. The deformed children, wounded soldiers hurt in the wind at the old writings due to the brutal torture when the enemy was arrested. I was shocked to hear that the museum's speaker said that only a small amount of dioxin could kill a city of millions of people that the American empire had sprayed on the land - Our favorite perfume to hundreds of kilograms of deadly poison. It has destroyed many of our future generations. The pain of the previous generation is not enough, but even the next generation must be influenced not small. Looking at photos of people affected by Agent Orange, I feel so fortunate to be born as a healthy diver, to learn, to play ... At the same time, The force of my strong life is also not admired, although not born completely, but they are always trying to overcome what is called the most painful to stand firm in life, and live Useful for society ... [inclined to really admire ...]

In addition, this place also reproduced the model Con Dao prison, seeing firsthand where people often call "hell on earth" I really feel horrible, horrible with the screen The barbarism that the American empire has found to torment those who made the Revolution. Which is where prisoners of war prisoners are called "tiger cages" with a small area where this place has to take place all the daily activities of prisoners, along with the meal only with rice and rice Sand ... hot days they will lock many people in a small tiger cage whereas cold days they will lock a few people

The prisoners who sneeze, sigh, or smash mosquitoes are immediately crushed or smeared into the spot where the wounds are bleeding. I wonder who these people - who claim to be a large, modern, civilized country have thought of such barbarous things. Not to stop there, but there are other formulas of torture other formidable to reduce the will, spirit and negatively affect the nerves, health of the revolutionary prisoners. Finally entering the showroom of the guillotine - a guillotine that had been sliced across South Vietnam under the 10/59 rule issued by Ngô Đình Di0m had killed tens of thousands of members, tens of thousands of patriotic compatriots When I look at it, I feel really scary and can imagine the pain of our people at that time. But whether the enemy was brutally tortured, criminalized or found every way to kill the revolutionary soldiers, those revolutionary people are never afraid, subdued before the enemy and equal It is true that our country has achieved peace as it is today.

One Sunday, at this place, I was learning too many things. Today's learning will be a valuable lesson that I will take to keep striving to study well. Studying and working here is not just for ourselves but for the social community, for this country and for those who have fallen for the independence that we enjoy today.
