President Hồ Chí Minh is the beloved leader of the Vietnamese people. He has passed away but his name has become familiar, close and respected by the hearts and minds of millions of people in the world. His life has been honorably recorded in great encyclopedias and in brilliant dictionaries around the world. His name is used for many projects, schools, squares, boulevards, ships, etc. Several countries have erected monuments and statues of him in their main squares and streets.
“There are few people who become a legend when they’re still alive, and obviously Hồ Chí Minh is one of them.” He is remembered by everyone not only because of his contribution in liberating the nation and citizens from domination but also because of his role as a modern philosopher who brought new far-sightedness and hope to those who were uncompromisingly fighting to eliminate unfairness and inequality in the world.
Mr. Fidel Castro spoke highly of him: “Hồ Chí Minh’s life is a brilliant example of the most revolutionary of characteristics and of great humanity.” The above praise affirms the immortalization of Hồ Chí Minh in humans’ hearts. He is not only a great national hero who liberated the Vietnamese nation through proletarian revolution, but also a person who struggled for the independence of the working people.
He was born and grew up amidst a historical period of changes within the country, during the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Many heroic and undaunted struggles for independence and unification of the country had failed. National salvation for the Vietnamese people had faced profound political crisis. At that time, President Hồ Chí Minh, with his political sensitivity and practical experiences in the world’s revolutions, overcame the limitations of his predecessors. He met Marxism-Leninism, Russian October Revolution and found a way to save his country through the Vietnamese revolution.
Proletarian revolution is the combination of passionate patriotic doctrines and Communist International doctrines, national independence and socialism, and the power of the nation and the power of the era. From this, he unleashed a great turning point of Vietnamese revolutionary history and opened up the way for the liberation of all oppressed nations in the world.
President Hồ Chí Minh was the first person to communicate Marxism-Leninism to workers’ movements and patriotic movements in Việt Nam. He founded, led and trained the Vietnamese Communist Party. He was aware that the right direction of the party was in the success of the Vietnamese Revolution. From the party’s beginning, he always took care of the party’s growth and trained the party to be a stable and sagacious pioneer team of the Vietnamese working class, laborers and the entire nation.
President Hồ Chí Minh founded the National United Front. It was a stable national united bloc that created an unbeatable power that overcame all challenges and difficulties, defeating all enemies. He had these famous theoretical points:
“Unity, unity, Great unity
Success, success, Great success”
This was the strategic thought in the Vietnamese revolutionary process. Front was the key element guaranteeing the success of the Vietnamese Revolution and contributing to the International Revolution.
President Hồ Chí Minh founded and trained the Vietnamese People’s Army to become a revolutionary army that was “faithful to the country, grateful to the people.” During the two resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, he contributed to the party by upgrading the traditional Vietnamese military strategy.
President Hồ Chí Minh established the Democratic Republic of Việt Nam, the first People’s democratic state in Southeast Asia, affirming Vietnamese position in the world map and leading the Vietnamese nation into a new era. This was the era of national independence and freedom where Việt Nam was equal with other countries who were fighting for just, progressive and civilized societies.
President Hồ Chí Minh is the genius leader of the working class and the Vietnamese people and the preeminent hero in Vietnamese history. His great merit and career is associated with the glorious history of the Vietnamese Communist Party and with the most noble struggle of all Vietnamese struggles against invaders. President Hồ Chí Minh, the great national hero, has made history and lives and lasts eternally in people’s minds. President Hồ Chí Minh is an epitomized, faithful and kind international soldier. He contributed much to liberating oppressed nations, reinforcing communist movements and international working movements, and consolidating forces which were fighting for peaceful, democratic and progressive societies.
President Hồ Chí Minh took the initiative in the struggle against colonialism and imperialism, liberated oppressed nations and gained independence and freedom. Liberating people from slavish conditions, hunger, cold, and illiteracy is the greatest humanist career, the life-long dream of all humans.
In order to meet reader’s demand for information about the life, career, and moral thought of President Hồ Chí Minh, the Hồ Chí Minh Museum compiled the book “Hồ Chí Minh – Biography”. Inheriting previous information from several biographies about Hồ Chí Minh while also drawing upon facts from historical documents, the book will present a short but systematically efficient biography of the great life and career of President Hồ Chí Minh.
It’s our honor to offer this book to readers.
