To celebrate the 118th birthday of comrade Nguyen Duc Canh (February 2, 1908 - February 2, 2026), the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2026), a delegation of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor led by comrade Ngo Duy Hieu - Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor - offered incense at the Nguyen Duc Canh Memorial House in An Hai ward, Hai Phong city.
Comrade Nguyen Duc Canh (1908 - 1932) was born into a poor Confucian family, with a rich tradition of patriotism and studiousness in Diem Dien village, Ho Doi canton, Thuy Anh district (now Thai Thuy commune, Hung Yen province).
Being enlightened about the revolution very early, sympathizing with the suffering of workers and realizing the great strength of the working class if unified, he directly participated, mobilized, and organized into a revolutionary struggle movement of the working class.
On July 28, 1929, Comrade Nguyen Duc Canh founded the Red General Confederation of Tonkin (the predecessor of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor) today. The birth of the Red General Confederation of Tonkin is particularly meaningful for the Vietnamese workers' movement and trade union organization activities.
In February 1930, he attended the Conference to establish the Communist Party of Vietnam and was assigned to hold important positions: Secretary of the Hai Phong Party Committee, Secretary of the Bac Ky Regional Party Committee, Member of the Standing Committee of the Central Ky Regional Party Committee.
In charge of propaganda and training work at the Standing Committee of the Central Coast Regional Party Committee, Comrade Nguyen Duc Canh played an important role, together with the Central Coast Regional Party Committee building a system of Party newspapers from the region to the province and grassroots levels.
In April 1931, the comrade was arrested by the French colonialists in Vinh. Despite being tortured in many forms, the comrade resolutely refused to confess. On July 31, 1932, the comrade was executed by the French colonialists at Hai Phong De Lao - a place later built into a memorial house for the comrade.
Before the spirit of comrade Nguyen Duc Canh, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Ngo Duy Hieu offered incense, expressing sincerity and remembrance of the great contributions of comrade Nguyen Duc Canh. Trade union levels will strive to build the Vietnam Trade Union organization to become increasingly strong, well perform the task of caring for and protecting the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of union members and workers, bringing the team of workers and laborers firmly into a new era, an era of national rise.
On the same day, the working delegation of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour also came to offer incense and flowers to comrade Nguyen Duc Canh at the memorial area in Thai Thuy commune, Hung Yen province.
