Vietnam loves to punch in the memorial site of the Anti-American War.

Wang Xiong Road in Hanoi is called "Vietnam's No.1 Road" because there are the highest state power institutions such as Vietnam Central Station, National Assembly, President's Office and Prime Minister's Office near the road. If Bating Square is the heart of Vietnam, surrounded by the strongest atria and ventricles, then Wang Xiong Road is the most important artery. After driving 2 kilometers from Wang Xiong Road to NATO, my eyes suddenly became clear, and the name of this road became Youth Road. Qingnian Road divides the beautiful Zhusi Lake and the open West Lake into two parts, and is rated as one of the must-see attractions in Vietnam 15 by well-known tourist websites in Vietnam. Before the outbreak, it was the favorite fitness and leisure place for Hanoi residents and a must-see for foreign tourists to travel to Hanoi.

Walking slowly along the sidewalk of Youth Lake, a gray stone carving suddenly came into view under a row of trees with dense branches and leaves and dense crowns. The stone carving consists of stone statues and stone tablets. The stone man is wearing a flying helmet and kneeling in the air with his hands up. The stone carving is related to a great American man, and the stone tablet clearly records the whole story of the monument:1967101On October 26th, the North Vietnamese air defense forces shot down the plane piloted by John McCain, a major pilot of the US Navy. Mccain was captured alive by Hanoi soldiers and civilians. The inscription is simply summarized as "Bamboo Lake in Hanoi captures McCain alive." Many years later, McCain, who has become a political power, is always full of heroic narcissism when describing this history. However, according to Vietnamese media reports, McCain actually flew 22 bombing missions in northern Vietnam before being captured alive, and I don't know how many innocent Vietnamese were killed.

Vietnam's generalized province has beautiful scenery. The north-south traffic artery 1A national highway runs through the whole territory, and the Chaqu River flows slowly from west to east. In the War to Resist American Aggression and Save the Nation, the special strategic position of Generalized Province became the key area of American invasion and slaughter. There is a local folk mantra that "generalized province is rich in sugar workers and revolutionary fighters". It is not only rich in sweets and martial folk customs, but also stems from the deep hatred of the American invaders. Guangyi Province is also the hometown of Fan Wentong, the older generation leader of Vietnam.

A huge statue stands in the ruins of Shan Mei in Guangyi, the provincial capital, to commemorate the victims of the "Meilai Village Massacre" made by the US troops invading China 53 years ago, which shocked future generations. Next to the monument, there is also a memorial hall for the tragedy in Meilai Village and a monument for the victims. 1968 March 16, American troops surrounded the village of Meilai and massacred unarmed villagers.

Although the smoke of war has already dispersed, future generations have not forgotten history. Every year, government agencies, enterprises, institutions and schools in Vietnam's generalized province will come here to hold commemorative activities. 20 18, 18 On March 6, 2008, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Mylai village tragedy, Vietnamese national leaders and people came here to commemorate this event. It took people a long time to show the tragic situation of the victims and expose the photos of the American executioner.

Today's generalized cities have already got rid of the trauma of war, and the beautiful city appearance and simple folk customs have made many foreign tourists linger. According to Vietnamese media reports, Shan Mei Site is one of the nine key scenic spots in Guangyi Province. The cultural relics displayed in the Mylai Village Massacre Memorial Hall were designated as national cultural relics by the Vietnamese government in 1979. In recent years, during the National Day holiday in Vietnam, many people drove to visit the Sami site, many of them with their children.

The prosperity of red tourism has also promoted the development of local economy. According to the data released by the Provincial General Administration of Culture, Sports and Tourism, nearly 654.38+million tourists visit the Shan Mei site every year, and they come from nearly 65.438+000 countries and regions. It has made remarkable contributions to promoting the economic and social development of the province and improving people's living standards. A person in charge of the office said in an interview with the media that we sincerely welcome domestic and foreign tourists to visit. We hope people can understand the story that happened here, and hope that there will never be any more wars.

The ancient wisdom tunnel warfare killed the invaders.

In the years of resisting America and saving the nation, the Vietnamese people used flexible strategies and tactics to defeat the American invaders. Ancient wisdom tunnel warfare is one of the classic examples. The Guzhi Tunnel is located about 70 kilometers northwest of Ho Chi Minh City. It was built during the 1948 Anti-French War, and was originally a small tunnel with simple structure. Later, under the expansion of the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front, a 250-kilometer-long underground fortification system of multi-level interchange was built, which is a complex underground network with multiple functions such as hiding soldiers, storing, rescuing and commanding operations, and some tunnels can also park heavy weapons and equipment such as tanks.

During the war, in order to destroy Vietnam's effective anti-American forces, American invaders carried out crazy damage to the tunnel, including injecting water into the tunnel, spraying about 480 tons of toxic chemicals and releasing a large number of mice infected with epidemic diseases. In addition, indiscriminate bombing was carried out in the Guzhi area. But the Vietnamese people fought bravely by relying on the Guzhi Tunnel. According to statistics, the military forces led by Vietnam's * * * Production Party fought 4,269 battles with American aggressors and their puppet troops in Guzhi area, killing more than 20,000 people. It can be said that Gu Zhi has made immortal contributions to the Vietnamese people's winning two national salvation wars against France and America. Nguy?n· Wen Lin, who later served as General Secretary of the Central Committee of Vietnam, and Wu Wenjie, Prime Minister of the Government, and other Vietnamese party and state leaders all fought in the Guzhi Tunnel.

Today, the Guzhi Tunnel has become the most famous historical site during the Vietnam War to Resist American Aggression and Save the Nation, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to visit it every year. According to the data of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City, more than 654.38+0.5 million tourists from all over the world come to visit the Guzhi Tunnel every year. 20 15 12.23 Guzhi Tunnel was listed as a national special cultural relic. In addition, Vietnamese party and government organs, foreign affairs departments, enterprises, institutions and universities also regard Guzhi Tunnel Ruins as an important red tourism education base to receive political education and temper party spirit.
