The immortal call
In the historic May days, the whole country is looking forward to celebrating the 135th anniversary of the birth of beloved President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1990 - May 19, 2025). Remembering Uncle Ho - a national liberation hero, a world cultural figure, every Vietnamese person remembers the immortal call "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom".
In the Independence Declaration read in the historic Ba Dinh Square on September 2, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh affirmed to all peoples and the world: Vietnam has the right to freedom and independence, and in fact has become a free and independent country. The entire Vietnamese people are determined to devote all their spirit and strength, their lives and property to maintain that freedom and independence.
On July 17, 1966, on the Voice of Vietnam, in the National Appeal Against the US to save the country, President Ho Chi Minh continued to affirm the viewpoint of "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom".
"Nothing is more precious than independence, freedom" is not only thought but also a life, a great value in his revolutionary doctrine. It is the goal of fighting, the source of the power that makes the Vietnamese people in the cause of fighting for independence and freedom, for the existence and development of the nation. At the same time, that thought is also a great source of encouragement and encouragement to humanity.
According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dao Duy Quat - former Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Central Cultural Thought Committee (now the Central Propaganda Department and the Central Mobilization), "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" is not merely a thought, but it is a truth drawn from the history of building the country to defend the country of the Vietnamese nation for thousands of years; From sweat, tears and blood of so many generations of Vietnamese people in the struggle for national liberation and reunification.
There is nothing more precious than independence and freedom is the prerequisite and sacred issue of the nation. There is everything with independence - freedom; the country cannot prosper, the nation cannot develop, the people cannot have enough food, warm clothes and happiness without independence - freedom. Independence - freedom is a national right, a human right, the starting point for all oppressed peoples on the path to prosperity and happiness.
The resounding words of the young generation
Associate Professor, Dr. Le Quoc Ly - former Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics - analyzed that the will "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" has truly become a great spiritual motivation, urging generations of Vietnamese people to fight against the enemy.
From that strength, we have made the Dien Bien Phu victory "shake the world, resounding the five continents", made the Great Spring victory in 1975 great, brought the river into one, unified the country, independence, freedom for the nation, creating a premise for our whole country to move towards socialism.
practice has proven that Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom is forever the trust and pride of humanity, the eternal truth for every nation and people in all historical periods.
Also according to Assoc.Prof.Dr. When there is independence and freedom, it is necessary to take care of the material and spiritual life of the people of all strata, making the people more and more happy. The practical value of independence and freedom is there. Revolution to gain independence and freedom for the Fatherland, at the same time, you must also bring freedom, prosperity and happiness to the people. Building socialism is to bring the working people to own and exercise the right to master the people in the fact that each person and the whole nation are "happy" and "freedom"; "Everyone has rice, clothes, everyone can study."
In fact, after half a century of national reunification and nearly 40 years of entering the renovation process, Uncle Ho's idea of "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" continues to resonate and urge our people and nation on the journey towards the aspiration for prosperity and happiness.
The Communist Party of Vietnam has been leading our people to continue on the path of innovation. The country is moving towards an era of strong growth, to build our country "more dignified, larger and more beautiful" as beloved Uncle Ho always wished.
