Today is truly a big festival for the school, all generations have gathered here, to the beloved Yen Phong No. 1 school. The atmosphere was joyful, exciting, and warm for the school's teachers and students.
Returning to the old school is always a great joy, a great happiness.
Meeting teachers, friends and old schoolyards again to see that this place is a part of each of our lives, has created each of us, has bonded us and will continue to bond us, and not not only between us but also between us and this school.
Come here so we don't forget and because we don't forget we're still alive. Because the past is not the past, but the past has created who we are today, that is, the past is alive.
Every year our school does not grow one year older, but grows one year older. Over the past 60 years, the school has grown 60 times. Because the number of people graduating in the past 60 years has increased 60 times. And those who have studied here, graduated, and gone to work are always an important part of the school. And because of that, the strength of our school is very great.
Today, many former students of the school are present here. Alumni are always an integral part of the school. They study here and then go out to work and grow up, but in their hearts there is always nostalgia, always wanting to return. Many people want to contribute, each in their own way, it can be material, it can be spirit, it can be effort, even if it's just a little bit, a small drop of water. But rivers and seas are also made from small drops of water. This is a contribution to the country's training career, to the country's future generations, to contribute to better school training quality, and future generations of students to study better and be born. successful.
Dear teachers,
The further students leave school, the more they miss school. The longer you don't come back, the more you miss it. The older I get, the more I remember. It's like missing the roots that created me. In that nostalgia is a deep gratitude to teachers and the school.
Today, we want to say a deep thank you to our teachers. That thank you may never be said, but it always exists, is always here, in the heart of every student, in the thoughts of every student.
Teachers are like father and mother. Parents and children shed tears. The love that teachers have for students is limitless and unconditional, even though students always annoy teachers. After graduating from school, I regretted making my teachers upset. But it is that regret that makes us grow into human beings. And so the teachers' sacrifice was not in vain.
Today, seeing my former students become kind people and useful people for society, my great-grandfather will surely feel warmed up.
If we can return to our old school in many different ways, especially in the digital environment, through digital transformation, teachers will feel even more heartwarming, not having to wait 60 years or even years to return. have a chance to meet each other. We want this beloved Yen Phong school to have a home in cyberspace, and in that home, teachers and students of all generations can see each other, meet each other, and help each other. Surely all of us present here today and even those who cannot afford to come here today have the same desire.
Dear students,
If you want to study well, ask more questions. Asking is to learn. Our elders say: "Learn". Most other countries do not have this word. Asking is thinking. Learning without asking is learning without thinking. Learning is eating, asking is digesting. Learning without asking is like eating without digesting. Asking is finding the root, learning is the tip.
Learning without asking is having a top but no root. Asking is to understand, learning is to remember. Memorizing a lot without understanding is called rote learning. Asking is doing less, learning is doing more. The less you remember, the more you don't remember. Profound people always seek less.
Learning is to receive old knowledge, asking is to generate new knowledge. If students ask, teachers will also think and thus generate new knowledge. Teachers come to class every day and find it interesting because students ask.
Without excitement every day, the lecture will not be good. So by asking, you turn the classroom into a creative environment. Learning is for students to learn from teachers, asking is for teachers to learn from students. In the 4.0 era, asking is the first thing in learning.
If you want to study well, you must also practice more. Practice is to learn. My elders said: "Study". Most other countries also do not have this word. Studying without practicing is called empty learning.
“Teachers come to class every day and find it interesting because students ask. By asking, turn the classroom into a creative environment. In the 4.0 era, asking is the first thing in learning." –
I ate that but my stomach was still empty. Study and ask and you'll understand. But only through practice can we realize it. Enlightenment is when knowledge becomes yours. Learning without practicing means knowledge still belongs to someone else. Westerners use reason to understand, use debate to understand.
Eastern people do to understand, through doing to understand. Through practicing religion, one becomes wise and enlightened.
That's why onions are even more important to Eastern people. That's probably why the word "study" comes from.

When studying, I don't know what else I need to learn. Only by doing will we know what we lack and what we need to learn more. Studying without practicing is always redundant. When you study and practice, you will always find yourself lacking. Lack is the first condition of learning. In learning, the teacher teaches and the students listen. And so, it is difficult for students to be better than teachers. Practice as a student and a teacher.
And so the student can be better than the teacher. It's like a sports coach. The game can play soccer better than the coach. In the past, if there were few books, it was right to study first and practice later. If there are as many books as there are now, do it first to know what you're missing, then find books to read, find teachers to ask. Now that's why we practice first and study later. So practice more, practice more, study more, study more.

If you want to thank your teachers, the best way is to learn better, learn more substantively, learn to become a person, learn to work. After graduating from school, go to work and become a talented person, contributing to the strong and prosperous development of the country, honoring the family, homeland and the reputation of this No. 1 Yen Phong school. And then they will return to help the school, making their school better and better for the teaching and learning of future generations.
Dear everyone, aunt and uncle Yen Phong,
47 years ago, our Ha Bac math class of the 1976-1979 class arrived in Yen Phong when they were 13-14 years old, the first time children were away from home, away from father, and mother. Yen Phong's relatives and aunts welcomed her to live in and took care of her like a child in the house. Now, we are over 60 years old and have become grandparents, but we still remember and are grateful for those famine days and are full of human love. It's still difficult to raise my own children, but I also have to raise other people's children.
Coming here today, we, the former students of Yen Phong school, would like to say our respectful and sincere thanks from the bottom of our hearts to the teachers and relatives who have taught and cared for us. I grow up to be a person. Perhaps among the many values that help us become human, gratitude is the most important. We will be grateful for this upbringing until the end of our lives and will pass on this value to future generations.
