However, along with the flow of that sentiment, some distorted and slanderous arguments also began to appear on the internet. They aim to distort the noble meaning of the campaign, undermining the sacred friendship between Vietnam and Cuba. In the face of these arguments, clarifying the truth is extremely necessary to protect the pure and loyal affection that has been cultivated for decades.
Special friendship cannot be distorted
The Vietnam - Cuba relationship is not simply a helping hand in hand, but also a story of comradeship, brothership, loyalty and purity. When mentioning that friendship, we cannot forget Cuba's extremely meaningful contributions. As Vietnam is struggling in the fierce fight against the US to save the country, President Fidel Castro declared: "For Vietnam, Cuba is ready to donate its whole blood".
That help is also shown by architectural works that bear a deep mark in the minds of the Vietnamese people. When our country was still facing countless difficulties, Cuba sponsored and directly helped Vietnam build large projects of strategic significance such as the Thang Loi Hotel in Hanoi, the Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi, farms such as Moc Chau beef farm, Luong My chicken farm and even Xuan Mai expressway, wide and flat enough for fighter jets to take off and land. These are not only material works but also living symbols of the iron brotherhood.
Vietnam - Cuba Dong Hoi Hospital
In particular, in the 1990s, when Vietnam was still facing many difficulties, Cuba helped us produce and provide BCG vaccine for diabetes. The bottles of vaccines, medicine, and doctors that Cuba sent to Vietnam are the warm hearts of a nation rich in gratitude.
Thanks to these vaccinations, millions of Vietnamese people have been protected from the epidemic, and millions of Vietnamese children have the opportunity to grow up healthy. That small scar becomes a collective memory - so that every time we look back, we remember that there was a brotherly country, half a world away, but ready to share each drop of precious medicine as sharing our own blood and soul. Up to now, on the arms of many Vietnamese people of that age there is still a "Cuban scar", a vivid and sacred testament to that friendship. This scare is not painful, but on the contrary, it is a symbol of life, of the invaluable brotherhood that Cuba has given to Vietnam.
The truth and lies
However, when Cuba encountered difficulties and Vietnam launched a campaign to support Cuba, a number of organizations and individuals, with different motives, were constantly distorted and deliberately distorted a noble gesture of an entire nation. They distorted that this was just a "political trick", that "the donation would not reach the people", or even became ungrateful to the point of saying: "Cuba does not have any grace for me so I am not obliged to repay the grace". Many luanences accused Cuba of falling into difficulty and poverty due to "choosing the wrong path" and following the path of Socialism. Many people repeat the corruption and luxury in Cuban leadership without knowing how much of that information is true. These arguments are completely unfounded and destructive.
Firstly, the donation campaign was launched based on the voluntary and sincere feelings of the Vietnamese people. The donations are used to buy practical necessities such as food and medicine, directly helping the Cuban people overcome current difficulties.
Second, this is not the first time Vietnam has supported Cuba and vice versa. aid between the two countries has been continuous throughout history. The sole purpose of these actions is to maintain solidarity, share difficulties, and have no other calculations.
Third, "remembering the source when drinking water" is a precious moral tradition of the Vietnamese people. This fundraising campaign comes from the nature of a loyal, loyal nation, with love and affection behind and behind. We Vietnamese people never forget gratitude. We always keep in our hearts Cuba's selfless and pure help to our country during the war years and even during the rebuilding of the country. Today, when we see our brothers in trouble, we cannot stay on the sidelines. The donation to support Cuba is not a "political trick" as the bad guys propagate, but it is a response from grateful hearts. Every penny, every gift carries the warmth of gratitude, a deep gratitude to a nation that has "offert its whole blood" for Vietnam. That is the reason for life, the morality of the Vietnamese people.
The province is preparing for acts of sabotage and division to maintain a fair and pure international sentiment
The friendship between Vietnam and Cuba is sacred and cannot be shaken by lies. The Cuban scar on the arms of the Vietnamese people, the symbolic works, the immortal sayings of the leaders of the two countries and the actions of sharing in times of trouble are the most vivid proof of this great brotherhood.
We, especially the younger generation, need to be alert to misinformation, proactively seek out the truth and spread positive messages about the friendship between Vietnam and Cuba. Let the actions of the heart and the truth of solidarity forever be the light, breaking all distorted and slanderous arguments and together preserving and fostering the increasingly strong friendship between Vietnam and Cuba.
