Today, the square is still not empty. The young generation, the future owners of the country, come together here to remember the merits of their ancestors. Every step on the square, every look towards Uncle Ho's Mausoleum, is a reawakening of memories of a heroic period, of the noble sacrifices of their ancestors.
