“President Ho Chi Minh ’s thoughts are profound, encapsulated in the truth: Independence, Freedom, Happiness.” Lawyer Trinh Quoc Thien, also a Vietnamese history researcher, opened the story about Uncle Ho when sharing with VNA reporters in Washington on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of implementing his Will.
According to Lawyer Trinh Quoc Thien, the reality of living in the US for many years and the books he read about Uncle Ho left in him the six words "Independence - Freedom - Happiness". This was not only his wish during his lifetime but also a system of views on the right to independence and freedom of the nation, the reason for living, the ideal of striving and sacrifice that President Ho Chi Minh, the Party and the people steadfastly carried out. The lawyer affirmed that these values will live forever for the Vietnamese people, as well as other peoples in the world, because people in every society want to have freedom and happiness forever. As a researcher of Vietnamese history, Lawyer Trinh Quoc Thien also noted that President Ho Chi Minh also wrote very clearly about these values in the book "The Revolutionary Path". From there, Uncle Ho gathered the strength of the people and successfully carried out the revolution. This is also the similarity in the pursuit of happiness of the American and Vietnamese people. Ho Chi Minh's ideology highlighted the strength of national unity to gain independence, freedom, and drive out foreign invaders. From having enough to eat and wear warmly, the need for delicious food and beautiful clothes and the pursuit of happiness arose. Lawyer Trinh Quoc Thien also mentioned the 5 things Uncle Ho taught children, especially the 5th thing "Modesty, honesty, courage", saying that these teachings also reflected Ho Chi Minh's ideology on caring for and educating Vietnamese children.
Attorney Trinh Quoc Thien emphasized that Ho Chi Minh's ideology has become a consistent ideology, accompanying the Vietnamese people through their heroic struggles and lasting forever, and expressed his wish that his ideology will spread more and more to American officials, experts, and scholars in today's era.
