President Ton Duc Thang was born on August 20, 1888 in Ong Ho Islet, An Hoa village, Dinh Thanh commune, Long Xuyen province (now My Hoa Hung commune, Long Xuyen city, An Giang province) in a middle-class farming family.
Uncle Ton grew up in a country under foreign invasion. Patriotic movements against foreign invasion had a profound impact on Uncle Ton's awareness and from then on, Uncle Ton soon participated in revolutionary activities.
With nearly 70 years of continuous revolutionary activities, 27 years as Chairman of the Lien Viet Front and Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and more than 10 years as President, Uncle Ton devoted his entire life to the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party, our people, and international friends.
With such great contributions, Uncle Ton was the first person to be honored by the Party and State with the Gold Star Order - the most noble Order; was awarded the Lenin Order, the Lenin Prize for Peace and Friendship among Nations, and many other noble awards and titles.
The name and career of President Ton Duc Thang will live forever with the country, forever in the hearts of the people and his hometown An Giang. Uncle Ton left the next generation an extremely valuable legacy of ideology, morality, indomitable will, loyalty and the passionate patriotism and love for the people of a communist soldier...
