The General Offensive and Uprising in the spring of 1968 (Tết Offensive) remains forever a shining symbol of patriotism, determination and victory for the Party, people and army in the struggle to gain independence under the leadership of the Vietnamese Party and President Hồ Chí Minh, a senior Party leader told a meeting held to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic event at the HCM City's Reunification Palace on Wednesday.

Commando Ba Mủ (whose real name is Đỗ Văn Căn) disguised himself as a rubber latex collector to fool the enemy. He used a tricycle to transport weapons to serve the South Việt Nam liberation forces during the 1968 Tết Offensive. The tricycle is on display at exhibition that opened on Friday in Hà Nội.

The Tết Offensive was an important event in the long American War in Việt Nam. It was a turning point, when things started to change in favour of the National Liberation forces.
