Happy meeting at the base
Photos of January 13, 2012, the day General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited, wished a happy new year and gave gifts to families of policy beneficiaries in the communes where the revolutionary base of Zone 5 Party Committee (Hiep Duc district) was located, flooded social networks from the afternoon of July 19. Emotions arose in the hearts of many people who had the opportunity to meet and talk with the General Secretary in that first and only encounter.
Ms. Ho Thi Loan, who was in the photo of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong talking with the people of Hiep Duc, could not help but choke up when looking back at the commemorative photo.
“Uncle Nguyen Phu Trong at that time was very close and warm. He shook hands with each person, asked about life, business, and the difficulties of the people.
He also advised the government to pay more attention to the revolutionary base areas, to find ways to open roads for the people, to take care of poor families and families with preferential policies, so that people's lives would be prosperous. He talked a lot.
From the afternoon of July 19th until now, I and many people in Hiep Duc are very sad and mourn Uncle Trong. It is a great loss for the people of Hiep Duc in particular and the people of the whole country in general. People have been looking forward to having Uncle come back to visit again..." - Ms. Loan shared.
Memories returned during the days when the whole country was preparing for the National Mourning. Ms. Dinh Thi Mai Hong - former Party Secretary of Song Tra Commune recalled that at that time, there were only about ten days left until the Lunar New Year of Nham Thin.
Receiving the news that Uncle Trong was visiting the Party Committee's Zone 5 base, the cadres and people of the highland communes of Hiep Duc were all very excited, staying up all night, waiting until morning to see the General Secretary.
At exactly 9:00 a.m., the working delegation arrived at the hall of the Zone 5 Party Committee Relic Site. Many people had arrived and sat in order, waiting for the General Secretary to speak.
“Everyone was happy and excited. A high-ranking leader of the Party and the Central Committee took the time to visit people in such a remote and isolated place, which was a wonderful thing for the people. Uncle praised and encouraged them a lot.
Uncle Ho told the local and provincial authorities to pay attention to the ethnic minority areas, especially the ethnic minorities in the base areas, the cradle of the revolution. How can this Hiep Duc area, this Zone 5 Party Committee base area, develop like other places. Uncle Ho gave very detailed instructions..." - Ms. Hong recounted.
Forever believe
It has been raining continuously since the afternoon of July 19. Ms. Hong said that the rain has added to the sadness and regret in her heart and in the hearts of many people in Song Tra commune, many people in the Hiep Duc highlands and the whole country.
“I am very sad. I have lost a devoted leader who devoted his whole life to the country and the people. He was the “fireplace” for my faith and that of my compatriots over the years. Thanks to Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong, the people have more faith in the Party and the State.
When he passed away, many people confided in me, wondering who would replace him, whether the fight against corruption would still be strong and determined. As a party member, retired cadre, and a prestigious person in this area, I can assure you that it certainly is.
Uncle Ho passed away, but he left instructions to the next generation, the Central Committee also issued a Resolution, everything will continue, we must have faith. The people of the highland communes have long been loyal to the Party, and that faith will be maintained" - Ms. Hong confided.
Taking her granddaughter to visit the Zone 5 Party Committee Relic Site, Ms. Ho Thi Anh Tho (Tra Va village, Song Tra commune, Hiep Duc) stopped in front of a photo of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong speaking on the occasion of his visit to Zone 5 Party Committee 12 years ago, solemnly hung at the memorial house of the relic site.
Mrs. Tho told her grandchild about the simplicity and friendliness of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong when he met the people, about the admiration for the Party leader who traveled to visit the people that day. The old woman's eyes seemed to be wet.
She stopped for a long time next to the red-budded banyan tree planted by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in the relic site, telling her grandson that this was the commemorative banyan tree that he had given to the people of the highlands that time.
“Wherever he went and whomever he met, he advised people to strive to develop the economy, not to be dependent, and to strive to be worthy of the revolutionary land.
Following Uncle Trong's advice, many Kinh, M'Nong, and Xo Dang people in the area have now made efforts to escape poverty. The homeland has changed a lot. Uncle Trong has passed away, but the people still cherish his story and follow his example to help the homeland develop further..." - Mrs. Tho shared.
Many stories about the first and only visit of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong to the revolutionary base are still being told by the people, during the rainy days when he was sent off to the human world.
The highlands will always remember and remember the contributions of the Party leader, who was devoted to the Party and this country until the last day of his life...
