Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 6
Uncle Ho died (September 2, 9) the people of the country and the world were touched, pained, and mourned endlessly. Many poets wrote poems to visit Uncle Ho. Each poem is the poet’s whole heart in memory of the beloved leader. But perhaps the poem “Uncle!” To Huu’s poem is the most touching and best poem! Understandably, To Huu’s talent is greater, but the love (love, respect, and mourning for the great leader of the nation) is also greater.
Poetry flows according to an abundant source of emotions naturally, innocently, without effort, without technique:
“During the past few days, it was painful to say goodbye
Life is full of tears, it’s raining…
This afternoon I ran to visit Uncle
Wet the vegetable garden, some coconut trees!”
The poet only speaks the truth of his heart, of “heaven’s heart”, which shocks the reader’s soul. The opening lines of the song “Uncle!” reminds me of those wet, sad days. Uncle Ho just passed away, it rained for a whole week. Millions of people visited Uncle Ho in the cold rain, unable to distinguish between rain and tears. Poet To Huu “ran back” from the hospital, came to the stairs, choked:
“Oh bell, is the little bell still ringing?
Quiet room, the curtain falls, the lights off!”
The music said it all. The verse that cuts the beat 2/2/3 (quiet room / curtain / lights off) is broken, angry, painful! Uncle is gone! How could the poet believe such a heartbreaking thing? Life around Uncle Ho is still intact and beautiful “Autumn is beautiful, the sun is blue”, how much trust, how much hope of the people of the South towards the beloved leader! The poet feels weak before the great loss of the nation, that little bit of tenderness is also very precious:
“Who is that grapefruit sweet yellow to
Who else is fragrant, jasmine!”
Just then, the leader became an ancient man, in the poet’s nostalgia, he walked like in the fairy world:
“Where is Uncle’s shadow left early in the morning?
Around the lake, white clouds are printed…”
The poet thinks and loves Uncle, a lifetime only cares for the world:
“Oh, I wish my heart could be at ease
Five soups to ease the pain of life”
And the poet praises the beloved leader:
“Uncle, your heart is so immense
Embrace the whole river, all human lives”
The poet praised Uncle Ho’s “immeasurable” loving heart. It was this noble sentiment that created boundless strength for the great leader of the nation. And To Huu has generalized into two great sentiments: love for the country (embracing the whole river) and compassion for people (all human lives). Understanding Uncle Ho’s person and Uncle Ho’s poetry, we find that To Huu’s generalization is profound. The author then expands on aspects of those two great sentiments:
“I’m not sad, I’m just hurt
The pain of the people of the country, the pain of the five continents”
Uncle’s pain is “the pain of the nation”, the people still lament, Uncle “sore”, the country is still divided, Uncle “sore”. Uncle was still “in pain” because many ethnic groups of the “five continents” were still in many shackles, Uncle was still in pain because of the division of the international communist movement at that time.
Each statement and proof of To Huu has both general value and vivid detail, highlighting the rich emotional and ideological aspects of the leader:
“Uncle lives like my heaven and earth
Love every rice, every flower
Freedom for every slave life
Milk for you to spare, silk for the elderly.”
To Huu also understood Uncle Ho’s feelings for the South, so he dedicated a stanza of poetry to express Uncle Ho’s deep feelings for the people of the South and the sacred feelings of the Southern people for Uncle:
“I miss the South, I miss home
The South longs for Uncle, longs for Father
I hear every step on the front line
Listen to every good news, distant gunfire. “
To Huu has felt the universal and very basic thing in Ho Chi Minh’s way of life: that man has reached the natural like heaven and earth, that is, he has been in harmony with nature, has reached the profound and profound. miracle of life. And so it also endures with heaven and earth. Is that the deep source of Uncle Ho’s joy, optimism and self-sacrificing life?
“I’m as happy as the morning light
Happy every sprout, ripe fruit
Happy singing in harmony with the four seas
Cherish everything, forget only yourself”
To Huu lived close to Uncle Ho, deeply understood Uncle Ho’s people and activities, “shined” by his morality and style, so in emotional moments, the poet condensed it in form. simple, pure language into words that move people’s hearts:
“Uncle give us love
A pure life, not golden
Fragile cloth shirt, eternal soul
Than bronze statues expose the paths”
The end of the poem is also mourning for the late leader, the emotions have softened, the reason is more rational, the love is repressed, “heavy meaning”:
“Oh Uncle Ho, late afternoons.
How much do thousands of revenue remember Uncle!
Leaving, Uncle said: “Still young …”
The meaning is heavy, the heart does not dare to cry much.”
The details in Uncle Ho’s Will such as “Still young …”, “Marx Lenin” express the poet’s thoughts on the responsibility of successors to his great revolutionary cause, and at the same time also expressing the loyalty of the poet and revolutionary soldier to the deceased leader. The poet believes in the permanence of the revolutionary cause that he has built and vows to rise firmly:
“Love Uncle, my heart is more pure
May you reach out with Him forever
Steady as the tops of the Truong Son range”
Poem “Uncle!” To Huu’s emotions are abundant, without sorrow, and clear reason has overcome grief and mourning. The image of the great leader of the nation appears in poetry with all noble qualities such as patriotism, compassion for people, simple style in harmony with nature, “a pure and golden life”.
With dignified music, with majestic poetic images, with a deep and human philosophy. The poet has conveyed to the readers love and respect for the leader. Just like the poet Xuan Dieu commented: The poem “Uncle!” by To Huu is a “heroic eulogy”.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 10
Writing about Uncle Ho, with To Huu, is building the most beautiful and typical Vietnamese image, crystallizing national qualities over the ages.
People have noble ideals and reasons for living: the ideal of national liberation, the ideal of independence and freedom, therefore, Uncle Ho’s reason for living is to live with love, always taking care of the people:
I’m not sad, I’m just hurt
The pain of the people of the country, the pain of the five continents,
Just worry about everything like a mother’s heart
For today and for tomorrow…
The way of alliteration in many forms so that they are deeply engraved in the minds of readers and listeners. The lyrics in To Huu’s poetry always focus on the tonic notes of thought and soul. The two sentences above talk about pain, the pain is divided by “the nation’s pain”, the “five continents”. The following two sentences talk about worries, worries are also divided, “today” and “tomorrow”. Pain and worry are both expressions of reason of life and expression of love. Uncle Ho’s love is expressed in poetic images containing great inspiration:
“Uncle, your heart is so immense
Embrace the whole river, all human lives”
That love is associated with love, gratitude like twins. Uncle Ho loved the people with feelings as pure as the air, the sky was blue, the gratitude was like rice and clothes, warm like blood. He lived like heaven and earth.
Love every rice, every flower
Freedom for every slave life
Milk for children, silk for the elderly.
Uncle misses the South, homesickness
The South longs for Uncle, longs for Father
The simile image in To Huu’s poetry is very typical for his poetic thinking. The simile does not make things and people more specific but more general, higher, more abstract and more polished. Uncle Ho’s joy is associated with the joy of the nation with the feats to move closer to peace, independence and freedom, associated with the joy of nature, fruit trees, life of creation, and people. Uncle Ho lived modestly, simply and sacrificed himself.
Cherish everything, just forget about yourself
You give us love
A pure life, not golden
Fragile cloth shirt, eternal soul
Than bronze statues expose the paths.
The expressive way of thinking in these poetic images is contrast. The contrasts are all about the opposition of social consciousnesses. Contrast in the poem is not only built on the association of opposite images but also takes the form of thinking, reasoning, and clarity. The logical element emerges, lying in the same sequence as the symbolic element, making the verse with a strong rhetorical character.
The first contrast: To cherish all / only to forget oneself is the contrast between the number of all / just to show the unity of Uncle Ho’s personality and moral qualities: love is the basis of reason for life, measure of human dignity and morality.
The second contrast: cloth shirt / long spirit. It is the contrast of material and spiritual, the expression of the bar and the vulgar, the high and the low. The above poetic image has shown the absolute superiority of the spirit over matter. The material is very simple and simple, contrasting with the immortal noble soul, expressing a poetry that transcends material existence, showing the humility and simplicity in material, the life value of Uncle Ho’s people. .
Recreating the image of Uncle Ho, To Huu recreated the spiritual portrait of Uncle Ho with the concept of man and nature, Uncle Ho’s portrait was not only reproduced as one with plants, sky, clouds, rivers and mountains of Vietnam. In addition, Uncle Ho is also the embodiment of the natural way of life of heaven and earth in Vietnam: “Uncle lives like our heaven and earth”. Uncle Ho’s soul is “immeasurable”, “embracing all the mountains and rivers in all human lives”.
Uncle’s love is the natural love of parents for their children, family love. Uncle “takes care of everything like a mother’s heart”, “I miss the South and miss home. The South wishes Uncle Ho longing for his father”, “Uncle is as happy as the morning light”… Uncle Ho’s image is great and close to every Vietnamese through To Huu’s poetry.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 7
Cuban poet Felix Pita Rodríguez once wrote: “Ho Chi Minh’s name is a poem”. After Uncle Ho’s death, there are hundreds of poems in memory of Uncle Ho, some of which are touching, respectful, and sacred. In the garden of poems dedicated to Uncle, perhaps the songs “Visit Uncle Ho’s Tomb” (Vien Phuong) and “Uncle Oi” (To Huu) are the closest to readers.
The poem “Uncle Uncle” expresses the feelings of poet To Huu when he heard that Uncle had passed away. “Visiting Uncle Ho’s Tomb” was born when poet Vien Phuong and a delegation of South Vietnamese cadres went to the North to visit Uncle Ho’s mausoleum for the first time. Both verses express the author’s earnest and sincere feelings for President Ho Chi Minh.
In the minds of poets To Huu and Vien Phuong and of the people of the country, Uncle Ho is still present in our lives, accompanying the common cause of the nation. The poem “Visiting Uncle Ho’s mausoleum” captures the moment when poet Vien Phuong is at the mausoleum, the grief for Uncle Ho surges up in a few lines:
“I lay in a peaceful sleep
In the middle of a gentle bright moon”
“Peaceful sleep” is an understatement, the poet eases the pain of losing Uncle, that Uncle is sleeping, the peaceful sleep of a revolutionary who has just finished his duties with the people and the country. Visiting Uncle Ho’s mausoleum, there were thousands of people, but everyone quietly did not want to disturb Uncle Ho’s peaceful sleep. The warm yellow light spreads throughout the room, making the author think it is the gentle light of the moon.
To Huu wrote the poem “Uncle Oi” written when Uncle died when the revolutionary cause of the two South and North was on the verge of victory. The day of national reunification is not far away, people in the South seem to be touching a dream:
“The South is winning the festival
Take Uncle Ho to visit, see Uncle smile.”
Uncle is no more, but in each person’s mind, on each stage of battle, we still have Uncle Ho with us. On the river festival with the victory song, we still have Uncle Ho as the conductor. He has been preparing for this reunion for a long time.
With sincere feelings, the authors have expressed the hearts of the people of the South and North for leader Ho Chi Minh: sincere gratitude to him.
Uncle’s death – the great pain of the whole nation – Vien Phuong and To Huu have expressed it emotionally and sincerely in two stanzas. “Visiting Uncle Ho’s mausoleum”: In the above stanzas, the author uses the eternal image of nature and the universe to praise Uncle Ho’s merits and wishes that Uncle Ho will always be present in our lives forever. Uncle is hiding in the cool blue sky to continue accompanying us in the cause of national defense and construction.
“Know” by reason, but in love, “seventy-nine spring” has stopped there. The poem bursts with pain: “But why hear in the heart, “Throbbing” describes the pain in the subconscious, the pain deep in the soul, the author spoke for the heart of the whole nation. Because Uncle’s death is a great loss for the nation. We understand and accept this in great suffering.
“Uncle”: Poet To Huu returns to visit Uncle Ho’s stilt house, where his footprints were once imprinted. Uncle went away, the author also felt helpless. The whole vegetable garden, coconut roots, grapefruit, jasmine… all of them are orphans, who know who they are sweet with… The verse is choked with grief:
“Are you already gone, Uncle!
Fall is beautiful, sunny blue sky
The image of “autumn”, “blue sun” reminds us of Uncle Ho’s shadow in the past printed in the sky of Ba Dinh square on an autumn day in August with the “Declaration of Independence”. This autumn, Uncle Ho is no more, there is no more pain than that for Vietnamese hearts.
Someone said that “Poetry is the faithful secretary of the heart”. Poets To Huu and Vien Phuong both lived and fought under Uncle Ho’s banner, so they understand Uncle Ho better than anyone else and their feelings for Uncle are very passionate and intense. That love has woven beautiful poems, immortal with time
About art: Both poems use simple and meaningful images, the tone of the verse is sacred and consistent with the theme of praising the leader. However, it is the sincerity in the feelings that makes the success of the work.
About the content: Uncle Ho’s image appears in two stanzas that are both great and simple and close. The author’s love for Uncle Ho is also the common feeling of millions of compatriots: grateful to him, mourning him.
Visit Uncle Ho’s mausoleum (Vien Phuong) and Uncle! (To Huu) has brought readers a lot of nostalgia for Dear Uncle Ho. Although today, he is forever gone, but his feelings and his image are still warm and shining in the hearts of the nation.
The more we love Him, the more we have to live up to the expectations that when He was alive, He always wanted to make the country stronger and stronger, able to “comparable with the great powers of the five continents”.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 3
On September 2, 9, President Ho Chi Minh passed away. A whole forest of poems crying Uncle appeared, in which the great tree To Huu stood out with the poem “Uncle!”. The first four stanzas speak of the poet’s extreme grief before Uncle Ho’s passing:
For the past few days, it’s painful to say goodbye
Life is in tears, it is raining in the sky.
It was raining heavily and the tears of millions of people crying for the beloved leader of the nation made the whole space wet, cold and sad. When Uncle was away, To Huu was being treated at the hospital. Hearing the news, the poet panicked and ran to the Presidential Palace, where his house on stilts was: This afternoon I ran back to visit Uncle. The word “run” is used very skillfully, expressing the impatience of a son when he hears of his father’s death.
I followed the familiar gravel path again
Go to the stairs and look up
Oh bell, the little bell still rings
Quiet room, the curtain falls, the lights off!
We see that the author is very thoughtful, so “go to the stairs and look up” without entering the house in a hurry. Why? Because to visit a deceased person is to visit widows and orphans. As for Uncle who has no family, handling like To Huu is very delicate. Uncle Ho’s house today is different from the past: The bell no longer rings to inform him that a visitor has arrived. Especially the verse: “The room is quiet, the curtains are closed, the lights are off”, which is cut into three beats as if to express To Huu’s choking feelings. Looking at the garden Uncle Ho once cultivated, the author is dismayed:
That grapefruit is yellow, sweet to whom
Fragrant for someone else, jasmine!
These two sentences make some readers wonder: Did Uncle grow trees only for him? I had the opportunity to ask the poet Xuan Dieu; The poet said: Who would evaluate literature like that! This is just a poetic way of expressing your deep love for Me. Did the dead father not love the father?
Looking at the fish pond, the poet suddenly regretted:
Where is Uncle’s shadow going early in the morning
Around the lake, white clouds fly…
Uncle appeared in beautiful memories like a fairy in a myth. Correct! In the mind of the poet as well as in the mind of our nation, Uncle Ho is a “Marxist fairy”. After days of grief and shock, the poet calmed down and portrayed Uncle Ho’s image. To Huu wrote many poems about Uncle but this one is the best because it is a poem summarizing a life.
The cover image is: “Uncle, Uncle’s heart is so immense”. It is a heart rich in love: “Embrace the whole river, every human life”. A heart that loves the country, loves the people, is immense. The word “hug” is used very sensibly: to hug is to cherish, to protect, to keep. The more you love, the more it hurts:
I’m not sad, I’m just hurt
The pain of the people of the country, the pain of the five continents
The word “pain” is to retrieve the words used by Uncle in the will. The people of the country suffer because the people of the country are being invaded by the imperialists; suffering from five continents because of discord in the international communist movement. Only a great man has such great pain. There is a great verse about the life of a leader: Uncle lived like our heaven and earth.
A simple verse that contains a profound content: Uncle Ho’s life has become one with nature and will be as eternal as nature. That is the source of his optimism:
Uncle is as happy as the morning light
Happy every sprout, ripe fruit
Happy singing in harmony with the four seas
Cherish everything, forget only yourself
Why? Because the liberation of the South was the center of the Vietnamese revolution at that time. Many people who met Uncle said that every time they talked, he would always mention the South. In Uncle Ho’s room hung a map of the South of the enemy’s troop disposition. Once speaking to the National Assembly, he said: “The South is always in my heart”. Uncle Ho’s morality is noble:
A pure life, not golden
Fragile cloth shirt, eternal soul
Than bronze statues expose the paths.
Uncle is a new type of leader; different from the cult of personality. Because Uncle Ho’s soul is so rich (man’s soul), his appearance is very simple (fragile in cloth). He did not need bronze statues because people had cast millions of statues for him in their hearts. In the last three stanzas, the poet expresses the feelings of our people before Uncle Ho’s departure. First of all, remember the Testament:
Leaving Uncle said: “Still young …”
I mean, I don’t dare to cry much
The verse recalls his words:
“Still young, still water, and people
Winning the American invaders, we will build more than ten days.”
Therefore, loving Uncle means having to follow Uncle Ho’s instructions, focusing on liberating the South and reunifying the Fatherland. Uncle Ho has now entered a special world: the Marxist-Leninist world of the Hien. The sage here is the sage, the sage – that is, the great people with transcendent wisdom and high morals. It is these people who have led history to move forward continuously.
At the end of this poem, To Huu has a very beautiful verse: Loving Uncle, our heart is more pure. Love Uncle to follow his crystal-clear mirror; will have the power to erase the opacity in our hearts, lift us to new heights. We are determined to turn pain into strength:
“May I reach out with you forever
As strong as the tops of the Truong Son range”.
The poem “Uncle” is a heroic eulogy. The apocalyptic poetic style creates a solemn melody, along with the magnificent poetic image that very skillfully expressed the noble emotions of our entire nation during the national mourning days in 1969.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 2
On the afternoon of September 2, 9, news of Uncle Ho’s death came to To Huu while he was being treated at the hospital. He hurried back, looking for a familiar stilt house. It was raining heavily, and the surroundings were quiet. Heartbroken, that night he sat down to write this poem. Xuan Dieu considers this to be a “heroic eulogy”. The poem expresses extreme pain and an overarching sense of the leader’s life, qualities and virtues.
In the first two verses, the poet mentions the sad atmosphere that covers the country, creating the tragic nature of Uncle Ho’s death. The whole country wept for him:
For the past few days, it’s painful to say goodbye
Life is full of tears and rain…
The image of the son without Uncle at first had an empty and helpless mood, and his footsteps looked so pitiful:
I followed the familiar gravel path again
Go to the stairs and look up
The space where Uncle lived was also tinged with mourning and separation:
Oh bell, little bell still ringing?
Quiet room, the curtain falls, the lights off!
The flowers, leaves and trees were absent. He was also bewildered:
Who is that grapefruit yellow sweet to
Who else is fragrant, jasmine!
The author uses a style familiar with traditional poetry, sends mood into the scene, from the outside, sees a picture of mood, soul – emptiness, despair, great grief when losing Uncle. The language of inner dialogue makes the lyrical character portraits appear realistic and natural. The line of poetry flows with an abundance of emotions. Feelings of sadness and grief temporarily eased, the poet mentioned the leader’s portrait, his joys and sorrows when he was still alive:
I’m not sad, I’m just hurt
The pain of the people of the country, the pain of the five continents.
…I am as happy as the morning light
Joyful sprouts ripe fruit (…)
From there, the overall contemplative poetic idea:
Uncle, your heart is so big
Embrace the whole river for a lifetime.
…Clinging to everything, just forgetting about yourself.
There are many noble qualities in the leader, but his love and sacrifice made him great and immortal. His compassion was both concrete and practical: milk for children, silk for the elderly, and covering all suffering humanity: the five continents – the division of the world communist movement at that time.
The measure of comparing Uncle Ho’s heart with that of a mother makes the leader’s image both close and sublime in love. The lines of poetry are both full of emotions and succinct, generalizing his ideal of life. His lifestyle makes everyone admire: Uncle lives like our heaven and earth.
When people understand the human heart and heaven, people will have a way to behave in accordance with nature, so they will be in harmony with nature. That person has merged with nature because he has achieved natural things, that is, he has reached the high and deep magic of life.
And then people will receive the support of nature to last forever with heaven and earth: That was the deep source of Uncle Ho’s optimism and love for life, during his time he loved nature, plants, birds and animals. I love living in the middle of nature. That behavior is an outward manifestation of harmony with heaven and earth.
A pure life is not golden
Fragile cloth shirt with eternal soul
Than the bronze statue in the middle of the path.
Thinking of the people and the country without thinking of oneself is the sacrifice and the virtue of living simply being in harmony with nature and being a pure style and quality. Throughout his life, he devoted himself to sacrifice for the country to the point of forgetting himself, while he himself lived frugally, pure, high, and very simple.
That moral example and personality made him great in everyday life and immortal in the hearts of the nation, becoming the symbol of the most beautiful Vietnamese people of all time. To Huu’s emotional verses have reached a concise and generalizability of Ho Chi Minh’s personality and lifestyle. The last three stanzas of the poem, even if the heart regrets the sadness, the soul lights up with faith when thinking about the future:
Uncle went to follow his ancestors
Marxist-Leninist world Hien people
The red aura adds to the mountains and rivers
Lead us forward together!
Praying to follow the path and ideal that Uncle Ho has chosen, continue the journey, so the poet feels firmer and tougher when he thinks that Uncle Ho is always by his side:
May you reach out with Him forever
As steady as the tops of the Truong Son range.
The sound of the last verse is calm and profound. Abundant love has subsided, so wisdom has settled on a truth. Loving Uncle, our hearts are clearer. Before, in the poem May Morning, To Huu also saw: “I am with him, he shines in me / I suddenly grow up beside him”.
This is the beauty, magical charm of the leader and the quintessential light of a great personality with the power to conquer, purify the soul, and enhance the strength of the opposite person. Later poet Viet Phuong also wrote:
The source of the light will never go out forever,
Beyond death, still light the way.
(Lots of love covers the whole country)
At the end of the poem is the belief in the leader’s longevity in the revolutionary cause, in the permanence of the nation. The poem is a sublime cry that immortalizes a noble person.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 4
In a pitiful and moving eulogy read in front of President Ho Chi Minh’s coffin, the late General Secretary Le Duan affirmed: “Our people, our people. The mountains and rivers of our country gave birth to President Ho. , the great national hero, and it was he who made our nation, our people, our country’s mountains and rivers shine.”
Poet To Huu also expressed that in a poem crying Uncle – Uncle – Uncle! is the cry of farewell, is the “compassionate eulogy” in poetry (Xuan Dieu). The poem not only expresses grief and grief, but also summarizes the author’s deep thoughts and contemplations about the person and life of President Ho Chi Minh.
While the nation’s resistance war against the American imperialists was going on extremely tough and fierce, on September 2, 9, President Ho Chi Minh passed away. His death is a great loss to the Vietnamese revolution and nation. In those days, our whole nation and international friends expressed their grief and sorrow at his passing. In those days, “Life shed tears, life rained..
Uncle! of To Huu was born in the atmosphere of those days of great mourning. The poem is like a “heroic eulogy” expressed in both structure, tone and image, poetic language, etc. All of these have revealed the author’s grief and grief and at the same time summarized the The poet’s profound thoughts and contemplations about the person and life of President Ho Chi Minh. The poem opens with a scene of grief and mourning covering the whole of Vietnam in the days of Uncle Ho’s loss:
“During the past few days, it was painful to say goodbye
Life is full of tears, it’s raining.”
For some reason, during the days of Uncle Ho’s death, it rained heavily. Has the great loss of our nation moved even the blue sky and made the other blue sky also shed tears? Or is it the tears of the Vietnamese people crying for the old nation’s father who sublimated, merged into the universe and condensed into rain? The poet has identified “life” and “heaven” to form a poetic idea that has the power to express the pain of his heart and the nation’s pain at the great loss.
Those are the hot tears of epic nature – a heroic nation mourns a national hero. Grief makes the grass, the earth and the sky suddenly become sad, the human soul suddenly becomes bewildered:
“This afternoon I ran to visit Uncle
Wet the vegetable garden, some coconut trees”
The natural scenery, the scene of Uncle Ho’s house, … all are still here, but all are dazed:
“I followed the familiar gravel path again
Go to the stairs and look up
Oh, the little bell is still ringing
Quiet room, the curtain falls, the lights off!…
Who is that grapefruit yellow sweet to
Who else is fragrant, jasmine
Where is Uncle’s shadow going early in the morning
Around the lake, white clouds are printed.
Poem with lots of questions and exclamations. Question marks, exclamation marks, ellipsis, interjections along with slow pauses, interlaced long and short rhythms have moved to express the sadness choked in the poet’s heart. The poem has a structure like a classic eulogy (lunging from- liking real- whining).
The classical character of the structure has raised the poetic image and feelings of the poet to the historical and epochal stature. It is the image of eternity and the emotions of all people. Uncle Ho’s image appeared in infinite sorrow mixed with divine respect.
The second part of the poem shows the poet’s deep thoughts and contemplations about the person and life of President Ho Chi Minh: He is immense love, he carries worries like a mother’s heart. “, he “carries everything but forgets himself”, he always carries the image of the south in his heart, he “a pure life, not golden”,…
A poem with a powerful and tragic voice, with simple images. both great and suitable for Uncle Ho’s image and the poet’s grief and respect for Uncle Ho. What is more beautiful and meaningful than when the poet uses the image of a heart to symbolize Uncle Ho’s immense affection: “Uncle, Uncle’s heart is so vast. Embrace the whole river, all human lives”. What could be simpler, closer and more tolerant of the sky and the sea than when the poet compares Uncle’s heart with that of a mother:
“Just worry about everything like a mother’s heart
For today and for tomorrow”
“Uncle lives like my heaven and earth”,
Uncle brought “Freedom for every life of slaves” and he also “Loved every rice, every flower”, he gave milk to his younger brother and gave silk to the elderly. ” is nested in the people of everyday life. The great man Ho Chi Minh merged with the ordinary man Ho Chi Minh to create a beauty that was both great, great, and close and dear. During his lifetime, Uncle Ho was always special affection for the South.
Uncle said: “The South is always in my heart”. In response to the wishes of his children and grandchildren in the South, Uncle Ho had planned to visit but the plan had not been fulfilled yet… To Huu compared:
“I miss the South, homesickness
The South longs for Uncle Ho’s father.”
Uncle Ho’s nostalgia for the South is like “nostalgia” and the South’s longing for Uncle Ho is like “longing for father”. Nostalgia is associated with the pain of dividing the body of the Fatherland and the desire for reunification and reunification. The verse expresses a very familial sentiment, but the poem’s meaning goes beyond words to express an epic problem of the era and nation. The poem closes with highly generalized thought images but still full of emotions:
“You leave love to us
A pure life is not golden
Fragile cloth shirt, eternal soul
Than bronze statues expose the paths.”
Uncle left a lot: independence, freedom, full rice, warm clothes,… But all of it comes from something very precious: “love”- “I love old people”, “I love you” children and grandchildren”, “I love the public union”,… Uncle loves the people and loves the country, so he went out to find a way to save the country and save the people. Uncle “carries everything, just forgets himself”. Summarizing Uncle Ho’s life, the poet contemplates and realizes two outstanding qualities: selfless love and noble simplicity.
The author uses the fragile image of a “cloth shirt” to talk about “a pure life”, expressing Uncle Ho’s simple but pure quality. That’s how Uncle Ho is, simple but great, “cloth shirt” but “soul forever”. The poem with many comparative and metaphorical images has deeply expressed the poet’s thoughts and contemplations about the person and life of President Ho Chi Minh.
To Huu has forever transformed and immortalized the image of Uncle Ho in nature, heaven and earth, and in the hearts of people. The verse expresses the respect, respect and pride before the heroic spirit of the nation’s old father. In the emotion, admiration and pride, the poet on behalf of the Vietnamese people silently said his heart:
“Oh Uncle Ho, late afternoons
How much do thousands of revenue remember Uncle!
Leaving, Uncle said: “It’s still young..”
The meaning is heavy, the heart does not dare to cry much.”
And secretly promised Uncle:
“Remember the old shoes that are heavy with gratitude
Loving Uncle, my heart is more pure
May you reach out with Him forever
As strong as the tops of the Truong Son range”.
Turning grief into action, the whole Vietnamese nation stood up to carry out Uncle Ho’s will. Six years after Uncle passed away. We have “beaten the quail, beat the Wei”, brought peace, unification, connected a strip of mountains and rivers and built the country more and more “decent, bigger and more beautiful”. Among the many poems written about Uncle, along with the epic Following in Uncle Ho’s footsteps, Uncle! is a great success of poet To Huu.
The poem is full of emotions and profound contemplations about President Ho Chi Minh, the father of the nation, the great hero of the twentieth century. Uncle! It was a poem crying for Uncle, but those were hot tears of epic quality.

The song “Uncle!” is a farewell cry, meaning as a very moving eulogy, both praising Uncle Ho’s immense patriotism and love for the people, and expressing his grief and remembering the great merits of the leader. The poem begins with a cry. Uncle Ho’s death left pain in the hearts of millions of our compatriots and friends near and far. Pain covers the whole world and the vast, immense universe:
For the past few days, it’s painful to say goodbye
Life is full of tears, it’s raining…
The second verse, the word “tùu” is repeated twice, extremely describing the loss and suffering of the nation. Reading To Huu’s memoirs, we know that when Uncle Ho died, the poet was still away on a business trip. Hearing that Uncle passed away, the author quickly “run back”. It was a painful, bewildering afternoon. The two words “wet and cold” describe that numbing pain:
This afternoon I ran to visit Uncle
Wet the vegetable garden, some coconut trees!
When Uncle passed away, his house on stilts became quiet and sad. The bell no longer rang. The lights are “off”, “curtains down”, Uncle’s room in and working is “quiet”. Life seems to stop in pain:
Oh, the little bell is still ringing
Quiet room, the curtain falls, the lights off!
Uncle passed away so suddenly, suddenly. The whole South, the heroic front line is on the verge of victory. “Receiving Uncle Ho to visit”… is a beautiful dream of compatriots and soldiers. But now where is Uncle when Uncle is far away:
The South is winning, dreaming of festivals
Welcome Uncle to visit, see Uncle smile!
The victory day, the festival of unification of the mountains and rivers… that’s the absence of Uncle. When Uncle passed away, the plants, flowers, and creations were all in pain and mourning. Vegetable garden, coconut tree, pomelo, jasmine flower, fish pond… those familiar objects of Uncle Ho are anthropomorphized, evoking pain, loneliness, sadness, and pity. With whom to share grief and grief? To Huu has a very deep expressive way of speaking. He stood still, wondering to his heart and then asked the plants and flowers:
Who is that grapefruit yellow sweet to
Who else is fragrant, jasmine!
Where is Uncle’s shadow going early in the morning
Clouds are printed around the lake…
In the first four stanzas, To Huu opened an artistic space from heaven and earth, life, the South, … to the vegetable garden, the fish pond, the coconut tree, the house on stilts, … showing the same mood. In art, it is the pain and grief that has been and is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people and the nation. It was the day Uncle passed away, September 2, 9, the day of national mourning. The combination of exclamations and rhetorical questions makes the poetic voice like a sob, choked, expressive:
Are you already gone, Uncle!
Who is that grapefruit yellow sweet to
Who else is fragrant, jasmine!
Where is Uncle Ho’s shadow going early in the morning…
The next six stanzas in the second part of the poem speak of Uncle Ho’s immense love and noble qualities. The structure of the poem is similar to that of a sacrificial poem when it comes to the merits of a person who has just passed away. Using metonymy images, To Huu praised Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism and love for his people. Here are two of the four best verses in the poem “Uncle!”:
Uncle, your heart is so big
Embrace the whole river, all human lives.
With the art of listing, the author recalls Uncle Ho’s immense compassion. That was the pain and worry of Uncle. Uncle Ho’s heart is as heavy as a mother’s: “Just worry about everything like a mother’s heart – For today and for tomorrow”. That is Uncle Ho’s heart: Uncle lived, Uncle loved, Uncle gave, Uncle let, Uncle gave:
Uncle lives like our heaven and earth
Love every rice, every flower
Freedom for every slave life
Milk for children, silk for the elderly.
That is Uncle remembers, Uncle listens, Uncle listens… That is the leader’s feelings for soldiers and compatriots in the Citadel of the Fatherland:
I miss the South, homesick
The South longs for Uncle, longs for Father
I hear every step on the front line
Listen to every good news, distant gunfire.
Uncle once said: “The South is always in my heart”, in 1969 New Year’s poem, Uncle wrote: “Last year was a glorious victory – This year the frontline will win even bigger…”, Uncle was the joy of victory. battle. Uncle was the spiritual support for the front line to rush to “Strike My quail, fight the puppet puppets!”, To Huu both mourned Uncle and revived Uncle’s soul. The phrase “happy” and the verbs: “to cherish, to forget” have deeply expressed Ho Chi Minh’s soul: optimism, love of life, rich in sacrifices. Poetic comparison pictures:
Uncle is as happy as the morning light
Happy every sprout, ripe fruit
Happy singing in harmony with the four seas
Cherish everything, forget only yourself.
He lived a simple and pure life. A small suitcase, a few simple clothes, a pair of rubber sandals …, “not yellow”, Many people often refer to the following two wonderful verses to praise Uncle Ho’s simple virtues:
Fragile cloth shirt, eternal soul
Than bronze statues expose the paths.
Great thought, beautiful and beautiful poetic ideas, talented counter-art, To Huu left a verse in the memory of many people. It can be said that the poem has deeply touched the soul, style, morality and lifestyle of Ho Chi Minh. The three stanzas of poetry in the last part are the cry, the memory, the gratitude, the wish.
Loving Uncle, missing him the more he felt his heart was helpless and painful: “Oh Uncle in the late afternoon – How much do thousands of memories miss you! Uncle went far away and entered the “World of the Wise”. Uncle Ho’s revolution is forever an “extra halo”, an invaluable spiritual asset that has the effect of encouraging and encouraging compatriots and soldiers to “go forward together” with an iron belief:
“Still young, still water, still human,
Winning the American invaders, we will build this more than ten days.” (Will)
Remembering Uncle Ho’s gratitude forever, our people vow to keep in their hearts Uncle’s advice, determined to overcome and complete the revolutionary cause left by Uncle Ho. The poem closes with a comparison picture bearing the image of a magnificent mountain river. To Huu cried for Uncle with a battle oath:
May you reach out with Him forever
As steady as the tops of the Truong Son range.
To Huu is the poet who writes about Uncle Ho the most, most deeply, and best. The image of Uncle Ho: “He is the Father, the Uncle, and the Brother – The big heart filters a hundred small bloodlines” is bold in many pages of To Huu’s poetry. “Uncle!” is one of the best poems written about Ho Chi Minh – the great and beloved leader of the nation.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 8
“Uncle” is a poem by poet To Huu written about our beloved great leader Ho Chi Minh. On September 2, 9, Uncle Ho passed away forever, leaving behind the whole country, the whole country, and all his compatriots to go to eternity. It is said that the day Uncle died, it rained heavily, and the whole Vietnamese people mourned for the old father of the nation.
Uncle has gone, a whole life for the people for the country, he has never considered anything for himself. However, when the country gained independence, Uncle Ho’s wish to visit the South was never fulfilled. When he died, people mourned so much that those who had not yet written poetry also wrote poems about him.
To Huu’s poem “Uncle Oi” is considered a eulogy to say goodbye to the departed, and in the first stanza, the author put all his heart into remembering and mourning Uncle Ho. “During the past few days, it was painful to say goodbye”.
The “days” here are the days after Uncle died, this is the great pain of the Vietnamese people, just yesterday, Uncle is still healthy, still directing the cadres, no doubt since 1965. Uncle said that he saw the day he had to say goodbye to his life. Uncle Ho, who has always thought for the people to give the country, can think like that, which really makes everyone feel sorry.
Entering 1969, Uncle Ho’s health was no longer good, but in the poems he wrote, he still contained a strong belief in a bright future for the nation. In autumn, Hanoi turned cold. On August 18, 8, the house on stilts received the warmth of Uncle Ho for the last time.
On August 24, 8, Uncle Ho was seriously ill, but still worried about everything out there, he knew the water was high, the soldiers offered to take him to a safer place, but he still wanted to stay with him. people. Uncle passed out many times, but every time he woke up, he always asked where the South won, if only the flow of history could be a little faster, could speed up the victory so that he could send him away peacefully. .
On September 2, 9, Uncle Ho took his last breath, the same day he gave birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. A few days later, the whole nation was choking. He had never slept peacefully in his whole life, now he sleeps all over the country. “Life is full of tears, it’s raining”

After a few days of seeing Uncle Ho, it rained heavily, and heaven and earth seemed to blend in with the pain of the entire Vietnamese nation. It is a loss, the inconsolable pain of the whole nation. Millions of people turn to Hanoi, towards a person like a cool, pure and clear stream like Uncle Ho’s heart for the people of Vietnam.
“This afternoon, I ran to visit Uncle
Wet the areca garden, some coconut trees”
The poet came to visit Uncle, but oh well, where is Uncle, Uncle has gone to the land of ecstasy, not in time, now only the scenery remains. The house on stilts, the areca garden, and the coconut tree are still there, but the person is no longer there, the warmth of the person has also ended, leaving the cold for the landscape, for the author, for the whole nation.
Uncle came to life with a brown shirt, now he leaves with white clothes, a person who always lived frugally and simply until the last moments of his life. At this moment, in the world, regardless of skin color, voices are turning their hearts to join the pain with tens of millions of our compatriots to see off the old father of the nation.
Uncle Ho was gone, To Huu uttered a heart-breaking call “Uncle!” How painful to hear. Uncle passed away, but his concern was fulfilled by the nation. Uncle will live forever in the hearts of each of us.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 9
On September 2, 9, President Ho Chi Minh passed away. On the occasion of the national funeral of the great leader, the poem “Uncle!” To Huu’s work was introduced in the newspaper “People”, later published in the collection of poems “Going to the Battle”. The poem consists of 1969 stanzas, divided equally into 52 stanzas.
The first four stanzas show the pain that covers rivers and mountains and people’s hearts. The six middle stanzas praise Uncle Ho’s great merit. The last three stanzas of the poem speak of mourning for him and vowing to carry out Uncle Ho’s instructions. This is the 7th stanza in part 2 of the poem “Uncle!”:
“Uncle lives like my heaven and earth
Love every rice, every flower
Freedom for every slave life
Milk for children, silk for the elderly.
The poem praised the great stature and soul; the immense love of dear Uncle Ho. Each verse is a discovery, a beautiful drawing of Uncle Ho’s soul. The tone of the poem is solemn and dignified. The first verse is a comparison, an affirmative praise: “Uncle lived like my heaven and earth”.
“My heaven and earth” is the homeland of the country, a beloved land of ours that is extremely beautiful, vast and eternal. Uncle Ho’s life “79 springs” and spiritual life were compared with “our heaven and earth” in order to praise his great and sublime stature.
That was the revolutionary cause to save the country and save the people, and it was Uncle Ho’s revolutionary ideal and morality. It is a pure and noble soul, free from all the bonds of fame and gain, reaching the infinite and the sublime. As a soldier “fragile cloth shirt, eternal soul”. As a Vietnamese person with the beautiful name “Ai Quoc”, “Embrace the whole river, all human lives”. Comparing nature with humans is a familiar way of speaking of our people. Praise the father and mother, the folk song has a sentence:
“Princess is like a mountain in the sky
Mother’s meaning is like the water that fills the East Sea”.
In many poems written about Uncle Ho, with that expression, To Huu created many beautiful verses:
“Uncle sitting there is huge
The sky is blue, the sea is wide, and the fields are young.”
(May morning)
“Uncle!
Stop beating? a heart
Red like Mars, bright Venus!”
(Follow Uncle’s footsteps)
The next three verses express the noble life and immense love of President Ho Chi Minh towards five subjects, all for human life. Uncle “loves each rice leaf, each flower branch”. The two sub-paragraphs: “each top of rice // each flower branch” is a symbol of each beauty of nature, of each fruit of a hard-working life, of the beauty in life. All are cared for and cared for by Uncle.
That is a metaphor for Uncle Ho’s deep love for the country and people. The third verse “Freedom for every life of slavery” speaks of his noble life. Love freedom and fight for freedom: “Freedom for my compatriots, freedom for my Fatherland” is Uncle Ho’s lifelong will.
To Huu’s verse has deeply expressed the root of compassion, his “ultimate desire” “is to make our country completely independent, our people completely free, our compatriots, Everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone can study.” Freedom is the noble ideal of President Ho Chi Minh.
In the “Declaration of Independence”, he wrote: “All the peoples of the world are born equal, every nation has the right to live, to be happy and to be free”. In fact, he not only brought freedom to our Vietnamese people, but also actively contributed to the cause of fighting for freedom for oppressed peoples in the world. Therefore, To Huu’s verse also has an overview: “Ho Chi Minh is the conscience of the times”.
The last verse of the verse also has two subparagraphs expressing Uncle Ho’s immense love towards two ages that need special attention in society, children and Vietnamese elderly: “Milk for children, silk for the elderly”.
The word “to” means “to win”. The word “give” shows a heart, a very respectful and respectful behavior. With his childhood in Vietnam, Uncle Ho gave all his love. Share a bright autumn moon. Many kisses Uncle gave to his grandchildren near and far. The “old and rare” elderly people must have returned to the realm of autumn, but the silk shirts Uncle Ho gave them, will forever be sacred mementos that children and grandchildren will keep forever?
All three verses are written in the form of enumeration and symmetry, as if the pages of Uncle Ho’s life were gradually expanded. And each of us seems to be opening our eyes and our souls gradually taking over the “scent of kindness” of Ho Chi Minh, as poet Che Lan Vien wrote:
“The lotus flower on the ground radiates the scent of the sky
The fragrance of kindness permeates our souls forever.”
To Huu’s poem above does not have a beautiful image, but reading it out, “love poetry, poetry, poetry soul” keeps on touching our hearts forever. To Huu used simple and innocent words to express the greatness of Ho Chi Minh’s noble soul and personality. The predicates used: “live”, “love”, “give”, “give” – showed To Huu’s skillful and delicate pen when writing about beloved Uncle Ho. The above verse has become the verse of each of us when mentioning his name with infinite pride and gratitude.
Analysis of To Huu’s poem “Uncle” No. 5
“Uncle give us love
A pure life is not golden
Fragile cloth shirt with eternal soul
Than bronze statues expose the paths”
(Uncle)
On the afternoon of September 2, 9, upon hearing the news of Uncle Ho’s death, To Huu was being treated at the hospital, hurried back, and went to Uncle’s house on stilts quietly in the rain. Returning, To Huu wrote “all that night to relieve sadness”. “Uncle” was written right after the nation’s traumatic event. The poem is a cry, mourning and an epic poem praising the personality, merit and career of President Ho Chi Minh.
The poem has thirteen stanzas, the analysis is the tenth stanza praising Uncle Ho’s pure and beautiful life. Uncle Ho is no more. Our nation lost an old father, the Vietnamese revolution lost a leader. Which pain is greater? To Huu, with that infinite sadness, expressed his deep love for Uncle Ho with poems of mourning and praise. Throughout Uncle Ho’s life, Uncle Ho devoted all his love to the people, forgetting himself for the sake of national independence. To Huu has summed up in his thoughts many things he has experienced about Him.
The opening stanza of the poem: “Uncle left love to us”, that is a poetic idea taken from an idea in Uncle Ho’s Will: “at the end of my life, I left a lot of love for all my compatriots”. The poem praises leader Ho Chi Minh’s immense compassion for the entire people.
His heart was so immense that he could never relax for a moment: taking care of the people, taking care of the country, loving the humanity of the five continents, loving all the lives of slaves, loving the South still in the hands of the enemy. Not only love, but love goes hand in hand with worry, taking care of everyone is taking care of each specific life: “Milk for children, silk for old people”.
Uncle Ho’s love covers space and time “for today and for the future”, covers the whole nature, plants and trees, sharing to “every top of rice, each branch of flower”. Throughout his life, Uncle Ho loved water, loved life while awake and even in dreams. Talking about Uncle Ho’s love, To Huu spoke in a very simple poetic voice and with the address: “Uncle”, “we” showed the intimacy and closeness between the people and the leader.
During his life, his thoughts and feelings were only for all, taking care of all, without thinking about himself. When he left, he was still wearing simple khaki clothes, without a medal or medal on his chest. It is true that “a pure life is not golden”. The poem praises Uncle Ho’s pure lifestyle and pure personality. The author uses the word “tranquility” in contrast to the word “golden age” in the verse to contrast the real life of Uncle Ho (the head of the Communist Party and State) with the luxurious life of some kings. former feudalism. Uncle lived a pure, simple life, refusing all vanity.
In the face of death, everyone seems to want to be a philosopher. At those times, thoughts often arise in the mind about a human life, a human life. We understand why in the article “Uncle” we can find To Huu’s profound general thoughts about the nature of Uncle Ho. And the above verse is a reflection on Uncle To Huu’s uncle.
Followed by the sentence “fragile cloth shirt and soul for many zhang” is a verse praising Uncle Ho’s simple and humble lifestyle, and at the same time upholding the greatness and beauty in his soul. In Uncle Ho there is always unity and harmony between two qualities: ordinary but great, simple but sacred. To describe that, To Huu used two very good images: “cloth shirt” and “man’s soul” to express the affirmation.
A person who is always humble but always great and noble, from words to actions. Uncle said that “cadres are servants of the people” and took care of the people’s concerns, and once abstained from meals to contribute rice to the resistance. Before he hurried away, he also wanted to listen to folk songs from all regions, including folk songs in the Central region – the cradle of Sen village, Uncle Ho’s hometown, has always been the cultural quintessence of the nation.
“More than bronze statues exposing the paths” by comparative art, the author affirms the immortality of the spiritual values that Uncle Ho left to the nation. Here, there are images of “bronze statues drying the paths”, bronze statues to honor great people placed in flower gardens, memorial areas, where many people often pass by and admire. Our Uncle Ho seemed to hide himself, very humble but still better than “bronze statues drying the paths”.
The summary of a great figure like Uncle Ho cannot help but include comparisons with other names. The author wants to cast a bronze stele statue to become immortal. During his lifetime, Uncle Ho did not like bronze statues and steles, and did not receive any medals. But “fragile cloth shirt”, he will live forever in the hearts of the nation, more than those who cast bronze statues and stone tablets that no one visits so that they have to “dry” their faces on deserted “trails”.
The author has erected a stone statue of Uncle Uncle with poetry in the hearts of every Vietnamese citizen. We pledge to be worthy of Uncle Ho, determined to follow Uncle Ho’s Will, and follow his path.
