Another reunion was that of the family of teacher Pham Van Hua, a cadre in B, a former political prisoner in Con Dao. During the exhibition, many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Mr. Pham Van Hua came to the National Archives Center III, Ministry of the Interior to hold the mementos of their beloved grandfather and father, which are being kept there. Before that, Mr. Pham Van Thanh, Mr. Hua's son, was moved when he visited the exhibition and found his father's records through the search instructions of the staff of the National Archives Center III. Mr. Thanh wrote: "I found my father's information. I am very touched and proud of my father and on behalf of the family, I thank everyone."
