President Ho Chi Minh (1890 - 1969)

He was born into a family with a patriotic Confucian father of peasant origin, a peasant mother, and siblings who actively participated in the struggle against the French and faced imprisonment.

On June 3, 1911, he went abroad, working various jobs and participating in the revolutionary movements of several countries while continuously fighting for the independence and freedom of his own nation. President Ho Chi Minh was the first Vietnamese to support the Great October Revolution and found in Marxism-Leninism the path to liberation for the working class and the peoples of colonial countries. In 1920, he helped establish the French Communist Party at the Tours Congress. In 1921, he co-founded the Union of French Colonies and published the newspaper The Wretched of the Earth in France (1922). In 1923, he was elected to the Executive Committee of the International Farmers' Union. In 1924, he attended the Fifth Congress of the Comintern and was appointed as a permanent member of the Eastern Department, directly overseeing the Southern Bureau. In 1925, he helped establish the Union of Oppressed Asian Nations and published two famous books: The Colonial System's Condemnation (1925) and The Revolutionary Path (1927).

In 1925, he founded the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth League in Guangzhou (China) and organized the "Communist League" as its core, training Communist cadres to lead the League and disseminate Marxism-Leninism into Vietnam.

On February 3, 1930, he presided over the Congress that founded the Party in Cuu Long (near Hong Kong). The Congress approved the brief political program, brief strategy, and the Party's Statutes drafted by him. He issued a call to mark the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (later renamed the Indochina Communist Party, then the Vietnam Workers' Party, and now the Communist Party of Vietnam).

From 1930 to 1940, President Ho Chi Minh continued his activities for the liberation of the Vietnamese people and other oppressed peoples under extremely difficult conditions.

In 1941, he returned to Vietnam, convened the eighth Central Committee Conference of the Indochinese Communist Party, decided on the path to save the nation, established the Viet Minh (Vietnam Independence League), organized the armed liberation forces, formulated policies for base areas, led the people in partial uprisings, and prepared for a nationwide general uprising to seize power.

After the August Revolution (1945) was successful, on September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam; organized free general elections nationwide, elected the National Assembly, and adopted the first democratic constitution of Vietnam. The first National Assembly elected him as President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (1946).

Along with the Central Party, President Ho Chi Minh led the entire Party, military, and people of Vietnam in defeating the imperialist schemes, maintaining, and consolidating the revolutionary government.

On December 19, 1946, he called upon the entire nation to resist French colonial aggression, protect the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, and safeguard and develop the achievements of the August Revolution.

At the Second Party Congress (1951), he was elected Chairman of the Central Committee. Under the leadership of the Central Party, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese people's resistance against French colonial aggression achieved a great victory, culminating in the historic victory at Dien Bien Phu (1954).

After the North was fully liberated (1955), the Central Party and President Ho Chi Minh set forth two strategic tasks for the Vietnamese revolution: to carry out socialist revolution and build socialism in the North, while continuing the struggle to liberate the South, achieve national reunification, and complete the democratic national revolution throughout the country.

The Third Party Congress (1960) unanimously re-elected President Ho Chi Minh as Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Workers' Party. The Second and Third National Assemblies elected him as President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

Along with the Central Committee, President Ho Chi Minh led the great resistance of the Vietnamese people against U.S. imperialist aggression; directed the socialist transformation and the building of socialism in the North.

President Ho Chi Minh creatively applied Marxism-Leninism to the specific conditions of Vietnam, proposing correct guidelines that led the Vietnamese revolution from victory to victory. He founded the Marxist-Leninist Party in Vietnam, established the Vietnam National United Front, created the Vietnamese armed forces, and founded the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, contributing to strengthening international solidarity. He is a shining example of collective spirit, organizational awareness, and revolutionary ethics.

President Ho Chi Minh is the great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, the beloved leader of the working class and the entire Vietnamese nation, an outstanding fighter, and a prominent activist in the international communist movement and the national liberation movement.
