11:19 am
a noncommunist south north vietnamese backed guerrillas in the south and stepped up attacks on the south vietnamese government which was supported by the united states the war that followed would last nearly 20 years and kill more than 2000000 vietnamese and tens of thousands of american soldiers well he didn't live to see us defeat. the 2 come through signed a peace agreement in 975 the south of the country was units of florence louis joins us live now from honolulu outside of the mostly i'm from and so what sort of commemorations are we expecting to mark the anniversary of men's death and also independence day and how relevant is how in modern day vietnam. the streets and shopfronts of hono have been decorated with vietnamese flags and banners and last night there were concerts in 4 cities to mock the life and death of the min and these concerts were telecast live on national t.v. this morning we're at the malls and them where his embalmed body is on display
11:20 am
inside and you can see the long lines of people have been queuing up this place has been open since 630 this morning have been queuing up just to get a quick glimpse of the communist leader has already found there is increasing concern and that poaching men and his teaching from values are becoming less relevant to the young this is a nation where around half the population is under 30 they're more concerned about upward mobility and social media communist teachings is very far removed from that world and from the thriving capitalism found in vietnam but the values that whole embodies of resilience of perseverance of having let this country through revolutions and wars these values are still relevant especially when as vietnam moves forward and it's done very well rebuilding itself off the decades of colonize ation and war its economy is now robust and dynamic but as the country grows as people become richer more people are going to want representation they're going to
11:21 am
want a voice how is this one party state going to handle that going to handle dissent and criticism that's one of the challenges going forward for vietnam and then there's also the issue of geopolitics china has staked a claim in the south china sea and it's becoming increasingly aggressor. in 13 that claim how is vietnam going to stand up to china which is not just an adversary but also an important trait so its leaders in vietnam may want to draw on the values commonly associated with ho values of resilience of perseverance of patriotism as the vietnam forward alright to friends in the family florence thank you let's bring in leave hong here he's a research fellow at the i.c.r.c. use of shock institute he joins us live from singapore many people see you as the founding father of modern vietnam but also legacy briefly did he leave the country . yes or. left
11:22 am
controversal a legacy for vietnam on the one hand he's seen as the father of the modern vietnam he left vietnam to independence in 945 and he played a role in the uncommitted of creation of the country 30 years later but some critics also see him as the source of darion use them in vietnam because he found it in his cronies party in 1930 and the party is still ruling vietnam these days but i think over the past 30 years or so he's calling in vietnam congress party have tried to change his legacy in a more positive manner by adopting economic economic reforms and political reforms that helped vietnam thrive one of the most dynamic economy in the world and here these days in the west is often viewed as an unburned being stalinist but was he really a staunch communist an unseen player in
11:23 am
a store was he much more of a believe in social justice do you think. initially i think hall wanted to fight for vietnam's independence and he looked at different ways to achieve that goal in the end he found that stalinists. model and communism maybe the only way for vietnam to achieve that was so he adopted communism and how to spread in the country but money people see he more as a nationalist. he's legacy is still. positively perceived by many people in vietnam he still review it as the now a national hero who brought independence to the country just a final question i mean vietnam today has a booming economy a 200 percent growth in g.d.p. with less than 10 percent below the poverty line so how is the country managed to turn its fortunes around after so many years of war fighting the chinese the french
11:24 am
