Fifty years ago, when the US launched its first air and naval bombing campaign against North Vietnam (1965-1968), to avoid the devastation caused by the war, Hanoi University, the predecessor of the current University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, Hanoi, evacuated to Van Tho commune, Dai Tu district, Thai Nguyen province to continue teaching and learning. Thanks to the dedicated support of the local officials and people, the teachers and students overcame those difficult years to successfully complete their work.
