Immortal milestone

The great victory of the Spring of 1975 was a great feat of the entire Vietnamese people under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam . That victory was not only the result of strategic talent, the will to win and the skillful command of military art, but also the strength of the people, the crystallization of the desire for peace, independence and freedom. It was the result of more than 30 years of protracted resistance, of countless sacrifices and losses of previous generations, so that today the country can live in peace, so that today each citizen can freely contribute and build a new life.

The victory of April 30 not only has historical significance for the Vietnamese people but also has profound international significance. It is a shining symbol of the struggle for national liberation, of the spirit of independence, self-reliance, and resilience against external imposition and invasion. From that victory, a strong message is sent to humanity: no force can subdue a united, patriotic people who know how to preserve their own identity.

50 years have passed since that historic day, but the echoes of the April 30 victory continue to spread. It is not only a source of pride but also a sacred reminder for every citizen, especially today's young generation, to always engrave in their hearts the valuable lessons from history. Because any nation that forgets the past, forgets the sacrifices that their ancestors have gone through, that nation will lose its roots, lose the compass to orient the future.

In the current context, when the country is renewing, integrating and developing day by day, the historical values ​​of the great victory in the spring of 1975 still retain their full significance. What have we learned from that victory? It is a lesson about national unity - the strength that creates all victories. It is a lesson about the Party's correct leadership role - the decisive factor in the country's destiny. And above all, it is the spirit of patriotism, the will to not yield to all challenges and hardships - precious provisions for today's generation to overcome all obstacles on the path of integration, building a rich and powerful Vietnam.

No one can choose the past, but each generation has the right and duty to continue writing the future. Today's young generation, regardless of their field of activity - science, technology, culture, economics or education - still needs to understand and appreciate history. Because that is the solid foundation for each person to build their ideals in life, to foster their character and civic responsibility. Being proud of our national history is not only to praise past achievements, but also to illuminate the path ahead, to preserve the core values ​​that have made Vietnam steadfast in the face of all storms.

History is not only in books or museums. History lives in every communal house, every memorial stele, in every story told by those who lived and fought for national independence. And above all, history is also present in today's life - when young people continue to uphold the ideal, living responsibly towards the community and the country.

Every April 30th, rows of flickering candles are lit in martyrs’ cemeteries, moments of silence in front of monuments, streams of people silently visit the graves of heroic martyrs… are proof of the deep gratitude of many generations today towards those who have fallen. That is also the way we preserve the flame of history, to pass on to the future.

The 50th anniversary of the great victory in the spring of 1975 is not only an opportunity to review a golden page of the nation's history, but also an opportunity to look back on the country's journey of development, and the role and responsibility of each citizen in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. More than ever, we need to continue to nurture patriotism, arouse the desire to contribute, promote creativity, so that each person is a "soldier" on the new front - the front of knowledge, of labor, of creativity for a sustainable Vietnam.

The victory of April 30 will always be the guiding flag, the immortal symbol of patriotism, of the desire for independence and freedom. No matter how much time passes, no matter how much the world changes, the value and lessons from that historic victory will always remain - as a reminder, a source of pride, and also a call for us - the children of Vietnam - to stand firm together in the journey of building the country.

And so, April is not just about memories, April is also about faith.
