Ho Chi Min

is a badass. If you don't know him, he was the revolutionary leader of the Vietnamese Communist Party, president and prime minister of North Vietnam from 1945-1969. The Vietnamese love him as he stood for independence and freedom from any foreign attempts at colonialism of Vietnam.

While Ho was an exceptionally humble man, a huge mausoleum in Hanoi was erected in his honor, against his wishes. Photographs were (for obvious reasons) not allowed, but it was pretty cool/creepy seeing his perfectly maintained body in a glass case fingernails and all, devoid of life for over 40 years.
