The groundbreaking of a temple dedicated to Hoàng Thị Loan—spanning an enormous 6,000 square meters—on February 9, together with the title “National Mother” aggressively amplified by the propaganda apparatus, is in essence a deeply calculating political move. After the “Father of the Nation,” the public is now being pressured to accept a concept that has never existed before: the “Grandmother of the Nation.” But look at the facts: what has this woman done for the nation, other than giving birth to one individual?
A Script of “Deification” for Permanent Rule
Conspiracy theories suggest that a project of this scale is not merely an act of filial devotion by “Uncle T” toward his aunt, but a strategy to construct a political genealogy on a national scale. Turning a leader’s relatives into sacred figures is the fastest way to transform a regime into an untouchable “red dynasty.” When the people are led to kneel and worship the leader’s kin, they unwittingly accept that family’s rule as a kind of “mandate of heaven.”
Seizing Space and a Budget-Funded “Betrothal Gift”
Six thousand square meters of prime land is not just bricks and mortar; it is a declaration of ideological possession. While millions struggle to obtain even a small plot to stand on, a grand temple rises—built from tax money and public assets—as a “betrothal gift” to glorify a clan. It is a slap in the face of the country’s harsh poverty.
And after this temple, will there be a whole series of temples for brothers, sisters, and other relatives to complete the picture of a “sacred family”? A nation forced to accept additional “grandfathers” and “grandmothers” descending from above is, in reality, being trapped in a labyrinth of blind personality cult worship—where power is inherited through bloodlines rather than earned through merit.
