HANOI: President Ho Chí Minh, a cultural icon of Vietnam and a revered figure worldwide, is remembered for his simple lifestyle and powerful legacy.
In 1947, he received a pair of sandals made from the rubber tyre of a French car - a humble yet symbolic gift. He wore them for 20 years and they became an enduring symbol of his lifelong revolutionary journey.
