In that spirit, the Party Committee, government and people of the Capital always identify the work of "Repaying gratitude" and taking care of people with revolutionary contributions as a top priority political task, a regular responsibility and the sacred morality of "When drinking water, remember its source" of the nation. Over the years, the city has made continuous efforts to implement many practical policies and guidelines to improve the material and spiritual life of people with revolutionary contributions, expressing deep gratitude for their great contributions.
