On the occasion of the Lunar New Year of At Ty 1965, during his last visit to Quang Ninh province, Uncle Ho stopped at Pham Hong Thai Commune School, Dong Trieu District (now Hong Thai Tay Secondary School, Dong Trieu City), to meet teachers, students and people here. Over the past 60 years, Uncle Ho's special attention has always been present, encouraging and motivating teachers and students of the school in particular, cadres, party members, and people of Dong Trieu ethnic groups in general, to make efforts, strive to rise up, and build the young city of Dong Trieu to develop sustainably.
Every year, on the days before the Lunar New Year, teachers and students of Hong Thai Tay Secondary School go to the Uncle Ho Historical Relic Site located at the school to burn incense and report to Uncle Ho. In front of Uncle Ho's statue, teachers and students of the school reported on their outstanding achievements in the past school year along with their promises and determination to compete in teaching well and studying well according to Uncle Ho's instructions when he came to school in the past. The images and memorabilia associated with Uncle Ho at the Relic Site are vivid historical lessons, not only arousing love for the country and deep respect for the father of the nation, but also promoting the learning and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style in each generation of cadres, teachers and students of Hong Thai Tay Secondary School in particular, and the Party Committee, government and people of Dong Trieu City in general.
Teacher Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, Principal of Hong Thai Tay Secondary School, confided: Although we are the next generation and did not directly meet Uncle Ho on the occasion of Tet At Ty 1965, through the stories told by our predecessors, we feel the joy, honor and pride of the school's teachers and students at that time when they welcomed Uncle Ho back to visit. The predecessors recounted that after visiting the school, asking about the hometown, health, family and work of the teachers, Uncle praised the collective of teachers of the school for being disciplined, simple and clean. On the occasion of the New Year, Uncle sent his best wishes to the elders, aunts, uncles, teachers and children in Dong Trieu district for a new year of good health, good production, fighting and studying. Those words of encouragement and advice at that time were the motivation for the staff, teachers and students of the school through generations to strive year after year, achieving excellent results in teaching and learning.
Proud to be the school where Uncle Ho visited, over the years, generations of cadres, teachers and students of Hong Thai Tay Secondary School have always strived to make continuous efforts in teaching and learning. Every year, the school has excellent students at the city and provincial levels; the rate of students graduating from secondary school is 100%; the rate of teachers with standard qualifications is 94.7%. The school has been continuously recognized as an "Excellent Labor Collective" for many years, achieved level 2 education quality accreditation and achieved level 1 National Standards.
Student Nguyen Tran Nhu Quynh shared: "We feel very proud to study at Hong Thai Tay School, where Uncle Ho once visited. This honor and pride is the motivation for us to constantly strive in studying, practicing, and competing to carry out well the 5 teachings of Uncle Ho to children."
Although 60 years have passed, his image remains intact in the hearts of every cadre, party member, and people of Hong Thai Tay commune in particular, and the Dong Trieu City Party Committee in general. Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of the Dong Trieu City Party Committee Nguyen Van Linh affirmed: Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and style has been carried out synchronously by the City Party Committee with the highest political determination, becoming a regular task of each Party Committee, Party organization, cadre, party member, and civil servant. In the period of 2021-2025, the city registered nearly 200 typical collective and individual models in "Studying and following Uncle Ho". Awareness, sense of responsibility, and exemplary character of cadres and party members, especially leaders and managers, leaders in work and in life, in cultivating, training, and preserving moral qualities, lifestyles, and working styles of the contingent of cadres, party members, civil servants, and workers have been raised, increasingly meeting the requirements of the task. His advice is a guideline for the Party Committee, government and people of the city, creating motivation for the Party Committee, government and people of Dong Trieu City to strive to rise up.
Over the past 60 years, Dong Trieu has continuously grown strongly. From a land rich in historical traditions, Dong Trieu today has transformed strongly, becoming a young city with aspirations to reach far. The young city is full of vitality with new constructions, modern urban areas, many invested and built arterial roads, and fertile fields of model new rural areas.
