75 years ago, when the resistance war against French colonialism was at its fiercest stage, on June 11, 1948, President Ho Chi Minh issued a call for patriotic emulation to call on all people to actively compete to eradicate hunger, illiteracy, and foreign invaders, making the resistance war a quick victory and national construction a success.

Under the light of his thoughts on patriotic emulation, through successive stages with different names, contents and forms of expression, the patriotic emulation movement has developed in a continuous flow, contributing significantly to the great victories of the Vietnamese revolution over the past seven decades.
