Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School relic, the red address of revolutionary journalists

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025), a delegation of the Hai Duong Provincial Journalists Association visited the national historical site of Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School in Thai Nguyen.

The Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School relic stands out among the green of the mountains and forests, located in the planning area of ​​the Nui Coc Lake National Historical Tourist Area (Thai Nguyen). This place was ranked as a national historical relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2019, with an area of ​​nearly 900 ^m2 with the following items: Memorial stele house, exhibition room, area to recreate journalism practice classrooms...

76 years ago, on April 4, 1949, in Bo Ra village, Thai Tan commune, Dai Tu district (Thai Nguyen), Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School was established. The school was founded, named and instructed by President Ho Chi Minh to organize and implement. This was the only journalism training facility during the resistance war against French colonialism. The teaching staff included political activists and famous journalists such as Vo Nguyen Giap, Hoang Quoc Viet, To Huu, Nguyen Dinh Thi... The first course opened on April 4, 1949, and closed on July 6, 1949 with 42 students who were political, military and press cadres sent back from all over the country.

The delegation of the Hai Duong Provincial Journalists Association respectfully offered incense at Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School.

Journalist Phan Huu Minh, former member of the Standing Committee and former Head of the Inspection Committee of the Vietnam Journalists Association, shared that the Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School relic site has a very important significance in marking a part of the sacred history of journalism, and is a "red address" of Vietnam's revolutionary press.

Delegates visited the exhibition space displaying valuable documents and artifacts of resistance journalism.

The artifacts displayed inside the relic recall a time of arduous journalism.

The Platen Press used to print newspapers and documents from 1951 to 1990.

Many means of operation associated with the formation and development process of Vietnam's revolutionary press are preserved and displayed.

The journey back to the source is not only an opportunity for the generation of Hai Duong journalists to review the glorious tradition, but also an opportunity for cadres and members to foster awareness and responsibility for the profession, continuing the flame of enthusiasm, passion, and love for the profession from those who laid the foundation for Vietnam's revolutionary journalism.
