The weather in Hanoi has entered autumn, it is not difficult to see groups of tourists happily taking pictures by the lake, on street corners... people and vehicles bustling on the streets of the capital against the backdrop of flags, flowers, and banners celebrating the 78th anniversary of the August Revolution and the National Day of September 2 of the Vietnamese people.
Time seems to remind everyone to look back at history 78 years ago, under the leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, our nation made a earth-shattering revolution, giving birth to a new model of State on the S-shaped strip of land.
Fulfill the oath of independence
The August 1945 general uprising quickly succeeded throughout the country. President Ho Chi Minh quickly drafted the Declaration of Independence from Tan Trao to Hanoi, announcing to his compatriots and the whole world the birth of a republican nation, a new type of democratic state in Southeast Asia.
And from the moment he returned to Hanoi from Tan Trao, the world map had to be revised, with the presence of a State with the first democratic republic in Southeast Asia on the Indochina peninsula.
On September 2, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square, a moment when millions of people were one. Everyone attentively followed the leader of the nation, tall and thin, still pale after having just returned from a serious illness from the revolutionary base in the liberated zone, but with bright eyes and a warm, clear voice.

The revolutionary wind blew like a storm, reviving the whole nation, bringing new breath and vitality to countless people who were just slaves. The whole country was revived from that autumn.
The oaths of millions of people together with the Party, the Provisional Government and President Ho Chi Minh to resolutely maintain national independence echoed throughout the vast Ba Dinh Square. The will to be masters, the spirit of mastering the country was seething and full of excitement in the hearts of every Vietnamese citizen.
General Vo Nguyen Giap's memoir "Unforgettable Years" has an excerpt: "One morning, Uncle Ho and Anh Nhan called us together. The historic Declaration was finished, Uncle Ho read it to the group for approval. As Uncle Ho later said, those were his most refreshing moments."
The work “The Thousand-mile Road of Ho Chi Minh” wrote: “After reading the draft of the Declaration to many people and asking for their opinions, President Ho Chi Minh could not hide his emotion and said that in his life, he had written many things, but only now had he been able to write such a Declaration” and Uncle Ho’s article with the pen name CB “National Day Celebration September 2, 1955” (rally celebrating the 10th anniversary of the founding of the country) “seeing Uncle Ho happy and rosy, the leaders healthy, the people cheered even louder” showed his hidden feelings and joy about this sacred event of the founding of the country.
In 1945, our country faced an extremely difficult situation with internal and external enemies (Japanese, French, Chiang Kai-shek and British troops) plotting to sabotage our revolutionary achievements.
The famine of 1943-1944, due to the exploitation policies of French colonialists and Japanese fascists, caused 2 million people to starve to death. Ignorance was prevalent among the majority of the population, the security and order situation was unstable, and floods broke the Red River dike in the northern provinces, causing the rice granary of 6 delta provinces to be submerged in water...
Faced with such a difficult reality, President Ho Chi Minh and the Indochinese Communist Party, with all their courage and talent, steered the revolutionary boat through rough and difficult waves.
In the context of the power vacuum in the Indochina peninsula being left open and Vietnam being in a state of chaos (the major countries were arranging order after World War II, the security and order situation in the country was extremely chaotic), it was necessary to have a replacement force to fill that political space.
The Vietnamese communists, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, with their correct fighting line, legitimacy and spirit of solidarity (Viet Minh Front) were chosen by history.
That obvious truth is true to this day, as General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said, "In Vietnam, there is no other political force, other than the Communist Party of Vietnam, that has enough courage, intelligence, experience, prestige and ability to lead the country to overcome all difficulties and arduous challenges to bring the nation to the shore of glory."
After the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born, with the skillful leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the Indochinese Communist Party, later renamed the Communist Party of Vietnam (there was a period when the Party dissolved and went into secret activities), our people achieved sacred victories, defeated the French and American imperialists, fully fulfilled the oath of independence for the Fatherland as President Ho Chi Minh had stated in the Declaration of Independence, fulfilling the political responsibility and historical requirements of the 20th century.
The task is extremely glorious but also extremely heavy.
After the Great Victory in the spring of 1975, faced with new difficulties and challenges arising from real life, along with the process of political development, the Party and State of Vietnam overcame 10 years of struggling to find a way to innovate.
The success of the Doi Moi cause initiated by our Party at the 6th Congress in 1986 shows the correctness and wisdom of the Party as well as the spirit of daring to look straight at the truth and speak the truth clearly.
Following those extremely proud revolutionary achievements, the task of future generations is extremely glorious but also extremely heavy.
The joint efforts of the State apparatus, the National Assembly, and the Government in developing the economy and society according to the model of a planned, centralized, bureaucratic subsidized economy immediately transformed and changed to a management and operation model of a socialist-oriented market economy. Breaking the international embargo and helping the country overcome the economic crisis.
Today, on the basis of the ideology of the rule of law State stated by President Ho Chi Minh in “Vietnam's request for a song” (1922) “Seven requests for the Constitution to be promulgated/A hundred articles must have the spirit of the rule of law” as well as the spirit and content of our country's first Constitution in 1946, Vietnam is striving to build a socialist rule of law state.
In particular, defining more clearly the functions, tasks, organization and operation of the State apparatus; initially rearranging towards streamlining, effective and efficient operations associated with streamlining the payroll.
The role of law in the organization and operation of the State is increasingly emphasized. The mechanism of division of labor, coordination and control of power among State agencies in the implementation of legislative, executive and judicial powers is increasingly clearer and has positive changes.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has repeatedly affirmed, “With all my modesty, I can be proud that never before has our country had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today.”
Following those extremely proud revolutionary achievements, the task of future generations is extremely glorious but also extremely heavy. That is, how to work with the Party and the State to successfully realize the aspiration to build a prosperous and happy country as President Ho Chi Minh always wished.
The documents of the 13th National Congress of our Party set out specific goals with 3 important milestones.
By 2025, the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, Vietnam will be a developing country with modern industry, surpassing the low-middle income level.
By 2030, the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding, Vietnam will be a developing country with modern industry and high average income.
By 2045, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, will become a developed, high-income country.
We hope that on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country on September 2, 2045, the Vietnamese generation of the 21st century can proudly and confidently report to Him the brilliant achievements of our beloved Vietnam.
