Ho Chi Minh referred to himself as “Uncle Ho,” which is strange in at least two ways. First, all evidence is that his name was actually Nguyen, not Ho. But more importantly, the way Vietnamese people call their real uncles is not by their last name, but by their first. So if he were my real uncle, I should call him Uncle Minh, not Uncle Ho.
Anyway, it’s his birthday. Big deals of this are being made all over town.
“Chairman Ho Chi Minh Lives forever in our cause” (which cause that is is also forever undefined).
