Kinhtedothi - I don't know if in any other country the words "Our Party" and "Our People" have become as familiar and attached as in our country.
An extremely unique phenomenon, the working people of the whole country call the vanguard of the working class "Our Party", "Our Party"; voluntarily stand by the Party in every fight, no matter how long, difficult, arduous and fierce. The people have shared and shouldered the tasks with the Party in every revolutionary stage. When it is necessary to clearly define their attitudes and feelings of love and hate, our people are always resolute. The people call the leaders, cadres and party members of the Communist Party of Vietnam "Uncle Ho", "Brother Ba", "Brother Sau", "Brother Muoi", "Thang Tu", "Thang Ut" and generally "the people on our side", but not all those who carry the title of cadres and party members, but only those who are devoted to sacrificing and striving for the benefit of the people, bravely fighting the enemy are given that honor by the people.
In response to that trust, President Ho Chi Minh advised that each cadre and party member must strive to "be worthy of being a leader, a truly loyal servant of the People". While placing the role of "leader" first, he emphasized the quality of "a truly loyal servant of the People". Before Ho Chi Minh, no one had placed such serious and strict requirements on the Communist Party before the People. The greatness of the Party is shown in its function as a "leader" and is even more clearly demonstrated when it voluntarily "is a truly loyal servant of the People". That inseparable bond itself speaks of so many noble and profound things that cannot be easily expressed in words. How sacred it is when we all say together "Our Party", "Our People". That unique thing speaks of the origin of the invincible strength of our Party and our People.
Speaking of our Party, there is no simpler, more honest and profound summary than that of President Ho Chi Minh: "With all the modest spirit of a revolutionary, we still have the right to say: Our Party is truly great" . The Party is great not because it is outside, or above, but because it is within the People. The cadres and Party members of the Party are none other than the brave and outstanding people among the People. President Ho Chi Minh said: "Our Party is the offspring, originating from the working class". The above words of his at the ceremony to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Party's founding, still touch people's hearts, deepening the love and responsibility of each of us towards our beloved Party.
Throughout the journey of struggle, sacrifice, and hardships, there is no achievement that does not originate from the strength of solidarity, togetherness, fighting together, and moving towards victory together; there is no battle in which the sweat and blood of Party members and the People are not shed on this land.
Let's go back to some unforgettable historical events, starting with the birth of our Party.
The Communist Party of Vietnam is the product of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with the workers' movement and the patriotic movement. That was a great leap forward for the Vietnamese revolution. From the long night of slavery and darkness, we reached the light of truth and revolution. With that turning point, the Vietnamese revolution went further, rising higher than the concept of "the people belong to the country, the country belongs to the people" of the patriot Phan Boi Chau, marking the period when our people now have a Party.
Immediately after its establishment, the Party led three extremely large and vibrant revolutionary movements that took place throughout the country. The first was the 1930-1931 movement with the peak of the Nghe Tinh Soviet; followed by the 1936-1939 movement with movements demanding people's livelihood and democracy, demonstrating the rapid growth of the Vietnamese revolution; and the 1939-1945 movement, leading to the August 1945 General Uprising, seizing power throughout the country, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam - the first People's Democratic State in Southeast Asia. That is a feat that "not only the working class and the Vietnamese people can be proud of, but the working class and other oppressed peoples elsewhere can also be proud of: This is the first time in the history of revolution, colonial and semi-colonial peoples, a party only 15 years old has successfully led the revolution, has taken power nationwide".
Next was the sacred 3,000-day resistance war, the Party led all our people, young and old, "whoever has a gun uses a gun, whoever has a sword uses a sword, whoever has no sword uses a hoe, a shovel, a stick", all of them stood up together with the spirit: "rather sacrifice everything, but definitely not lose the country, definitely not be slaves". With that will, our people under the leadership of the Party fought the final battle of Dien Bien Phu that shook the world. "For the first time in history, a small and weak colony defeated a powerful colonial country. It was a glorious victory of the Vietnamese people, and at the same time a victory of the forces of peace, democracy and socialism in the world.
On the way forward, over the next 20 years, the Party led the People to simultaneously carry out two strategic tasks: building socialism in the North; completing the national democratic revolution in the South, carrying out the struggle against the US, liberating the country. This was another great challenge for the Party and our People. In this fierce confrontation, we achieved a great victory in the Spring of 1975, successfully fulfilling President Ho Chi Minh's call: "Fight to drive the US out, fight to overthrow the puppet regime", the North and the South reunited, the country was reunited, and together we advanced to socialism.
The victory of the resistance war against the US to save the country is one of the greatest events in modern history after the victory of the Russian October Revolution, after the victory against fascism - as assessed by Comrade Fidel Castro. In the period of 30 years, our Party and our People had to go through two great confrontations and defeated two brutal imperialist forces with economic and military potential many times greater than our own. In that fierce fight, not only were there people who were sincerely worried that we could not win, but we were also threatened by the enemy to beat Vietnam "back to the Stone Age".
However, the outcome is clear who wins and who loses!
We won not because we had more people, our economy was stronger than the colonial and imperialist forces. Even more so, it was not because we had more guns and ammunition than the enemy. There have been and are still many people looking for the reason why the French colonialists and the American imperialists lost, and why Vietnam won. We can openly talk about the secret to creating our invincible strength: That is because our people are determined to follow the Party, work according to the Party, and fight to realize the ideology: "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom". That is because "Party members go first, the country follows"; it is the will " even if the house is destroyed, it is okay. Defeat the American invaders now, and enjoy later ". The achievements that our Party and people have won in the cause of fighting for independence and national liberation will forever be the pride of all generations of Vietnamese people.
Since the country's reunification and the country's move towards socialism, in addition to the achievements, our Party has encountered mistakes and shortcomings in leading economic construction and development. Faced with new and extremely fierce challenges: The socio-economic crisis that has lasted for many years in the midst of an extremely difficult and complicated international context, does the Party have the ability to steer the Vietnamese revolutionary ship to a safe harbor? Given the collapse of many socialist countries in the world, that concern is not without reason.
There have been many people who have taken advantage of the difficult situation to find ways to divide and attack the Party's leadership. It seems to have become a rule that in times of difficulty, the quintessence of the nation, the intelligence and will of our Party and our People have the opportunity to be promoted, and this time it is shown in the policy and determination for innovation.
In a relatively short time, implementing the renovation policy, our people have achieved very proud achievements. The great achievements gained during the years of implementing the renovation process demonstrate that the Party's will and the people's hearts have once again become one. With that solidarity and close bond, we are determined to overcome all obstacles, continue to move forward firmly on the path of victory, industrialization and modernization of the country, and realize the goal of a rich people, a strong country, and a fair and civilized society.
The more proud we are of our achievements, the more responsible and stricter we are in our self-criticism of our shortcomings and weaknesses and of our unfulfilled duties to the People. "As long as there is one Vietnamese person being exploited or poor, the Party will still be saddened, thinking that it is because we have not fulfilled our duties."
During the extremely arduous and glorious revolutionary struggle of the Party, there are countless things that speak of the greatness and the bond between the Party and the People. As President Ho Chi Minh wrote: " Our Party is truly great ", our People are truly heroic; "The Party not only takes care of big tasks such as transforming our country's backward economy and culture into an advanced economy and culture, but also always cares about small things such as tomato sauce, fish sauce and salt necessary for the daily life of the People. Therefore, our Party is great because it covers the whole country, and at the same time because it is close to the hearts of each of our compatriots. Our Party is great because apart from the interests of the class, the People, and the nation, our Party has no other interests".
