Capture the hearts and minds of Vietnamese people

How do you feel about the two days of national mourning for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong? General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's passing has left a great faith in the hearts of the people. Because of that faith, people from everywhere have flocked to Hanoi to pay their respects to the General Secretary. Regardless of whether it was raining on July 25 or sunny on July 26, at midnight or early in the morning, many people still lined up to wait their turn to pay their respects to the General Secretary. From young to old, not only people in Hanoi but also people from many distant provinces still came to line up to pay their respects.

Among those people, there were war invalids, the elderly, children and even some sick people who still tried to come to see off the General Secretary. That showed a great faith as well as respect for the leader of our Party. It can be said that there were times when the people's faith was reduced, but Uncle Trong revived that faith with his enthusiasm and strong actions to renew the country from economy to culture, social security, diplomacy and especially in the work of building and rectifying the Party. Especially his fight against corruption and negativity has strengthened the people's faith. What he said and what he did showed the image of a fair leader; a shining example for the country and the people. That trust was expressed by the people through the lines of people several kilometers long in the rain as well as the sun over the past two days to burn incense before his coffin. Could you share your feelings when you visited and witnessed the long lines of people coming to pay their respects to General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong? Yesterday afternoon, I was also present in the line of people coming to pay their respects to the General Secretary. Under the scorching sun of a summer afternoon in July, each person held a paper fan in their hand and moved step by step... but very orderly and patiently, no one complained. Through that, I felt great faith and pride, and felt stronger than ever. I felt the honor and glory of our country and the Vietnamese people before the vast world.

I, like many other people, believe that our country will develop further in the future because through the image of the stream of people visiting the General Secretary, it shows the support and trust of the people not only for the General Secretary but also for the reform path, supporting the positive aspects in today's society. The image of the people in the past 2 days is not only the trust and love for what has passed but also for what is to come. It can be said that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has passed away in the loving and respectful arms of the people. He is a man of the people, has captured the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people and many friends around the world. So everyone shed tears there.

An outstanding theorist, a great cultural figure

The image of the General Secretary's family at the funeral, especially his wife Ngo Thi Man, left many emotions in the hearts of the people. Surely you also felt this? I saw that from the people to the high-ranking leaders who came to pay their respects to the General Secretary, they all expressed their infinite condolences and saw the image of an exemplary family. From the General Secretary's gentle wife - Mrs. Ngo Thi Man to his son and daughter, the family has always been known by the people as very clean and disciplined, and now it has been further confirmed.

The image of the General Secretary's family has created in the people a great emotion, affection and even more respect for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. No one, including hostile forces, can "look for worms in the leaves" to distort and misrepresent the General Secretary's morality and lifestyle. The General Secretary is truly an excellent student of President Ho Chi Minh. Between speaking and doing, studying and following Ho Chi Minh's morality, ideology and style, Uncle Trong has done it and become an outstanding example for future generations. The General Secretary is not only an outstanding theorist but also a great culturalist, cultural from family traditions to working style.

The two days of National Mourning also showed a very proper behavior of the people. Those who have degenerated and become corrupt are condemned and shunned by the people; those who are exemplary for the country and the people are respected and trusted by the people. That is also proof that "the people are the root", the people's assessment is the most objective and fair, just as the General Secretary often said very simply, "the people know everything". The past two days of National Mourning have shown the people's "know everything". When mentioning General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, what does he remember most and what is his most favorite saying? The General Secretary is very specifically interested in the lives of the people and when he asks, he asks in detail, thoroughly and with evidence, addresses, and specific images. Thereby, he grasps the truth of every issue to come up with policies and actions for each specific matter. The General Secretary always reminds that: Caring about the lives of the people means caring about the freedom and happiness of each person. Personally, I think the General Secretary loves the army and the youth volunteers very much. Therefore, when mentioning the need for the State to recognize each youth volunteer, the General Secretary was very concerned and requested that it be done soon because the youth volunteers are now all old.

With the support of the General Secretary, the regulation on awarding the "Glorious Youth Volunteer Medal" has been institutionalized in the Law on Emulation and Commendation. I, like many other people, deeply understand the General Secretary's saying: "When the furnace is hot, dry wood and fresh wood must burn." Therefore, this "furnace-burning" campaign has no forbidden areas, no exceptions, and anyone who violates will be punished. The people are very happy and supportive of the General Secretary's achievements and determination in fighting corruption. If the country wants to develop, it must solve negative issues. Only then can it promote positive things later.

No one can go against the wheel of history.

The legacy left by the General Secretary is enormous, the question is how will we preserve and promote it in the coming time, sir? I think we can completely trust in the future development of the country with innovation, consolidation and Party building will continue to be stronger. Because this is a development trend in accordance with the law. Society changes in a positive direction, no one can go against the wheel of history. Anyone who goes against the wheel of history will be crushed. The current development trend is a positive trend, objective, and a trend of the times with the support of the people, so there is no reason for us to go against it.
