From the program "President Ho Chi Minh through the works of Prof. Dr., Writer Trinh Quang Phu" in Ho Chi Minh City at 6 pm on May 14, it has become an emotional meeting between history and the young generation.
When history is told with emotion
Works about Uncle Ho such as "The Wanderer of the Mountains and Waters" or the memoir "Following His Footsteps" not only recreate President Ho Chi Minh's 30-year journey of wandering to find a way to save the country, but also depict the portrait of a simple, resilient person who is always concerned about the destiny of the nation.
In the book page of Prof. Dr. - Writer Trinh Quang Phu, Uncle Ho appears not only as a great leader but also as a Vietnamese youth who has gone through hardships and burning aspirations for the country.
What is special is that these stories touch young people in a much more natural way than theoretical lessons. Many students said that they were moved when they heard about Uncle Ho's journey abroad, about his constantly studying spirit and the will to overcome adversity. History, from dry timelines, suddenly became a story of living ideals, of belief and responsibility.
As Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Kim Hong - Rector of Nguyen Tat Thanh University emphasized that studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style needs to be spread in forms close to young people. And literature, by its ability to move emotions, is an effective bridge to bring the image of Uncle Ho closer to today's students.
Value from Uncle Ho's example to young people
Although time has changed, the values that President Ho Chi Minh left behind still carry profound meaning for today's young generation. It is not only patriotism or great dedication, but also a simple way of life, self-learning spirit and the will not to give up in the face of difficulties.
Uncle Ho's journey of many years wandering around the world to find the path of national salvation shows the strength of knowledge and aspiration to rise up. In a difficult situation in a foreign land, he still persistently studied foreign languages, learned culture, and approached the progressive ideology of humanity to serve national ideals. For today's young people, it is still a intact lesson about the spirit of constantly learning and proactiveness towards the future.
Besides, what makes many generations respect Uncle Ho is also his personality. President Ho Chi Minh chose a simple, frugal lifestyle and always put the interests of the people first. It is this closeness that makes his image not only exist in history, but also in the spiritual life of many generations of Vietnamese people.
In modern society with many pressures and temptations, young people need more sustainable values to orient themselves. From the story of Uncle Ho, many students today realize that success comes not only from talent, but also from will, discipline and responsibility to the community. That is also the reason why works written about President Ho Chi Minh still have long-lasting vitality, because behind each page of a book is not only history, but also lessons of life that are never outdated.
