The image of President Ho Chi Minh has become a symbol of patriotism, indomitable will, compassion and simplicity not only for the Vietnamese people but also for the world community. This is the common sharing of Lao experts, scholars and officials about President Ho Chi Minh.

In his house in Tanmixay village, in the capital Vientiane, Mr. Thongvanh Thongdy, a scholar who has lived and studied in Vietnam for many years and has read many works of President Ho Chi Minh, always understands that what President Ho Chi Minh wrote in each work is his heart and soul and also contains very meaningful advice for the next generations to follow and learn.

Sharing with VNA reporters in Vientiane, Mr. Thongvanh said that President Ho Chi Minh's Testament is one of Vietnam's five national treasures and is considered a precious heritage to be passed on to future generations.

President Ho Chi Minh's Testament mentioned many issues, but he was most impressed with the content "On personal matters", in which President Ho Chi Minh expressed his concern and worry for the people and the country of Vietnam, along with his desire to make Vietnam a peaceful, unified, independent, democratic and prosperous country.

Mr. Thongvanh clearly remembers a sentence that President Ho Chi Minh wrote: "A revolutionary must have morality. Without morality, no matter how talented, he cannot lead the people."

According to Mr. Thongvanh, in life, President Ho Chi Minh is always a shining example for each generation to follow.

He believes that as the next generations, we need to understand President Ho Chi Minh's wishes and believe that the contents of President Ho Chi Minh's Testament will always be immortal and everlasting, a guideline for cadres and party members to study and follow.

These things have urged Mr. Thongvanh to learn more about President Ho Chi Minh's Testament, to learn from his simplicity and modesty. For Mr. Thongvanh, President Ho Chi Minh will always be a shining moral example, a genius leader not only of Vietnam, an outstanding cultural figure, an outstanding soldier of the world revolutionary movement. This is also the pride of the Vietnamese people and the Lao people.

As for Ms. Tavanh Vanhthong, an interpreter at the President Kaysone Phomvihane Relic Site in the capital Vientiane, when taking a group of VNA reporters in Laos to the bedroom of the late President Kaysone Phomvihane, she introduced the book "Reforming the way of working" by President Ho Chi Minh, the "bedside book" of the late President Kaysone Phomvihane.

According to Ms. Tavanh Vanhthong, the book is an original artifact because some pages still have red ink underlining the content that President Kaysone Phomvihane was interested in, contributing to the victories of the Lao revolution.

As an officer working at the Relic Site, Ms. Tavanh understands very well the contents of the book. She shared that this work was written by President Ho Chi Minh in 1947, signed as XYZ, and Vietnamese comrades gave it to President Kaysone Phomvihane on the occasion of attending the 2nd Congress of the Indochinese Communist Party, as a party member and one of the delegates of the Lao Revolution.

When President Kaysone Phomvihane received this book, the Vietnamese comrade said: "This book is considered by every Vietnamese cadre, party member and soldier as an extremely valuable sacred handbook in life, a compass in carrying out the revolutionary mission at all times and in all places."

Since then, President Kaysone Phomvihane has studied all of President Ho Chi Minh's teachings carefully, line by line, part by part, to apply them to his life and to his leadership of the Lao revolution.

Ms. Tavanh added that the work has 6 parts, including Criticism and correction; Some experiences; Revolutionary character and ethics; Cadre issues; Leadership; Against bragging. The content of the book has raised and resolved many basic and urgent issues, both theoretical and practical, of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

All the content in the work is short and concise, President Ho Chi Minh used very easy to understand words, so that everyone can read, understand and apply.

Therefore, right from the first times reading this book, Ms. Tavanh felt and understood the very good and important content in the book, especially the simple, thrifty, honest, impartial lifestyle or the very scientific and disciplined working style of President Ho Chi Minh, which helped her to apply it in her daily life and work.

Meanwhile, Mr. Xayalath Vongyalat, Director of the Department of Kaysone Phomvihane Museum and Lao Revolutionary Leader Relics, said he was very impressed with Vietnamese leaders and especially President Ho Chi Minh - National Liberation Hero and Outstanding Cultural Man.

President Ho Chi Minh was always interested in the revolutionary movement in Laos. In each work written by President Ho Chi Minh, there are many good lessons that he can apply in his daily life and work.

According to Mr. Xayalath Vongyalat, the great friendship between Laos and Vietnam was founded by the great President Ho Chi Minh, President Kaysone Phomvihane and beloved President Souphanouvong. The next generations of both Vietnam and Laos must continuously cultivate and develop this special relationship, bringing it deeper and deeper and bringing practical benefits to the people of the two countries.
