Early life
Born in 1905 as Hoàng Ngọc Ân to a poor Confucian family in Nghệ An Province, he attended primary school in his hometown and joined revolutionary groups in 1924.

Political career
In 1926, he attended a political training course in Guangzhou, China organized by Ho Chi Minh and in 1928, he became a revolutionary activist in Thailand and joined groups that later formed the Siamese Communist Party in 1930. In 1934, he was appointed a member of the Provisional Central Committee of the Siamese Communist Party and in 1936, he took part in the founding of the Independent Mobilization League of Vietnam (Việt Nam Độc lập Vận động Đồng minh Hội), which later became the Việt Minh, in Nanjing, China. In 1941 he was sent to Longzhou, China, to establish other political organizations and then returned to Jingxi, China together with Phạm Văn Đồng, Võ Nguyên Giáp, Lê Thiết Hùng and several others, where he continued to build up and expand the organization of the Việt Minh. In May 1941, he returned to attend the Eighth Central Conference of the Communist Party of Indochina and was appointed a member of the Việt Minh headquarters. In early 1945, at the national party conference in Tân Trào, Tuyên Quang Province, he was re-elected a member of the 1st Central Committee of the Indochinese Communist Party.

After the August Revolution of 1945, he was appointed director of the political department of the Ministry of National Defense and political commissar of the National Guard. He was also appointed a member of the National Assembly for the first time in 1946 and served from the first legislative period until his expulsion on June 24, 1979 in the sixth legislative period. On November 8, 1946, he was also appointed a member of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly. In 1950, he became the first ambassador to the People's Republic of China and was simultaneously accredited as such to North Korea and Mongolia. He remained in this diplomatic post until 1957, [1] after which Nguyễn Khang became ambassador to China and Trần Độ became ambassador to North Korea. At a plenum of the Second Central Committee, he was appointed a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee for the first time in October 1956 and as such at the Third Central Committee. He was elected to the 4th National Congress in September 1960. [5] He was a member of this highest leadership body of the party until the 4th National Congress in December 1976. In the 3rd Politburo he held the eleventh rank within the party hierarchy and thus the last rank among the Politburo members.

After completing his diplomatic work in Beijing, he returned to serve as Vice-Chairman of the National Assembly from April 23, 1958 to June 24, 1979, and Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly from April 1958 to June 1962. In addition, he succeeded Trần Danh Tuyên as Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee in January 1961, a position he held briefly until he was replaced by Nguyễn Lam in June 1961. After 1975, the differences between China and Vietnam over the issue of Cambodia and sovereignty over the Paracel Islands could not be resolved. He considered it a "conspiracy" by the General Secretary of the CPV, Lê Duẩn, to turn Vietnam into a hegemonic country in Indochina and Southeast Asia , and it was impossible for him to act as a successful mediator because his support for China was now considered a security risk. At the Fourth National Congress in December 1976, he lost his seat on both the Politburo and the Central Committee of the CPV.

In 1963, when Foreign Minister Ung Văn Khiêm was replaced by the more pro-Chinese Xuân Thủy, Hoan headed the International Liaison Department of the Central Committee of the CPV. In 1965–1966, however, Soviet-Vietnamese relations started to improve, accompanied by increasing tension between Hanoi and Beijing. In the new atmosphere, the leadership found it advisable to replace both Xuân Thủy and Hoan with cadres who had been less conspicuously associated with Lê Duẩn's previous pro-Chinese policies.

Opened in December 2023, the museum honors the Allied airmen who took part in flying across 'the Hump' route as part of the China Burma India Theater of the Second World War.

Overview
During World War II, the term "the Hump" is refers to the crucial air route used by the Allies to transport supplies from India to China. The air route, which traverses over the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains, it became vital after the Japanese occupation of Burma (now Myanmar) in 1942, which cut off the previously used land route to supply Chinese forces fighting against the Japanese. To maintain a supply line, the Allies turned to air transport, flying cargo over the Himalayas from airfields in northeastern India to airfields in China. The Hump route was extremely dangerous due to unpredictable weather, high mountains, and challenging flying conditions. Many aircraft were lost, and the pilots faced significant risks. However, despite the difficulties, the airlift operation played a crucial role in sustaining Chinese resistance against the Japanese.
