Arouse gratitude and inspiration from his sacrifice

1/ Celebrating his birthday is an opportunity for the entire Party, people and army to once again express their gratitude to the father of the nation, recognize the great and great values ​​and contributions that he devoted his whole life to sacrificing, striving, and making every effort to preserve and promote the legacy he left behind on the journey forward.

Among the many lessons he left behind, the writer especially respects and admires his sacrifice and simple lifestyle.

It is not difficult to cite examples of his sacrifice. Sacrificing to realize noble ideals: independence for the country, freedom for the people, "everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone can study", building our country "to become more and more decent and beautiful".

To strive for that goal and ideal, he spent his whole life practicing it, his words went hand in hand with his actions, going through many difficulties, hardships, imprisonments, and serious illnesses. Because of the beautiful goal and ideal, directed towards so many people, he did not give himself the right to rest or enjoy, even the simplest things. Therefore, his noble life is a testament, a living example, not only for our Party and nation.

When To Huu wrote: "Uncle left us his love/ A life of purity, without gold or silver/ Fragile cloth, a soul of a thousand feet/ Better than bronze statues exposed to the beaten paths" ("Uncle Ho"), the poet transformed his emotional feelings of regret into a strong inspiration to recreate the image of a leader who is noble yet ordinary, great yet simple, great yet close.

The origin of his sacrifice and good qualities is none other than his homeland, where he was born, where his family tradition and culture, patriotism, love for the working people combined with the quintessence of foreign culture, crystallized in Marxism-Leninism, as he said when he discovered and accepted the right path to save the country in "Lenin's Theses": "This is what we need, this is the path to liberate us".

2/ In the history of our country, many talented people have taken devotion, honor, and integrity as their motto in life, being respectful and humble before "rites" (what is right), truth, and in accordance with people's hearts and nature. And because of that, good virtues and bright examples will last forever, and be followed and learned by future generations.

That was To Hien Thanh, when he held the position of Grand Tutor of the Ly Dynasty, who refused a whole tray of gold bribe from Queen Mother Chieu Linh to correct the will of King Ly Anh Tong.

In Dai Nam Chronicle There is a detail that the famous mandarin Uy Vien Cong Nguyen Cong Tru, while he was an official, "had to resign because his father was in mourning. The king thought Tru was an honest and simple person, so he ordered Tru to be given 100 taels of silver".

Mac Dinh Chi, during the Tran Dynasty, passed the Imperial examinations and was famous for his integrity. The King knew that he wanted to test him, so he sent someone to bring 100,000 quan of money and leave it in front of his house. The next morning, Dinh Chi brought the bag of money to the court and reported to the King. The King said: "If no one accepts the money, then you can take it and spend it." Mac Dinh Chi refused and did not accept it because he thought that the person who lost it would worry. At this time, the King said that he was only testing him and gave Mac Dinh Chi a reward because of his integrity.

At that time, Gia Lai had the hero Nup, a symbol of the indomitable Central Highlands, who “bleeded the French”, and wholeheartedly followed the Party and Uncle Ho until victory. The lives of Bok Nup, or the People’s Armed Forces Hero A Sanh, the Labor Hero Rơmah Klum… that the writer had the opportunity to witness and meet, they were truly examples of sacrifice, pure souls and simple lives.

3/ Celebrating the 135th anniversary of his birth at a time when the country and people welcome a series of major events and face many opportunities as well as new challenges, we strive to make his legacy more brilliant and confident in the future, including continuing to implement Directive 05-CT/TW of the Politburo on studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle.

The theme of Gia Lai Provincial Party Committee in 2025 to implement Directive 05-CT/TW is "enhancing the sense of responsibility; innovation, creativity; daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility for the common good". The theme requires that on the basis of fully understanding the core values ​​of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style, cadres, party members and people of the whole province raise awareness, strongly promote the sense of responsibility, innovation, creativity, daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility for the common good, unifying will and action, proactively overcoming difficulties, successfully implementing the Resolution of the 16th Provincial Party Congress, the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress. The urgent task at this time is to continue to successfully carry out the streamlining of the apparatus in the political system and the work of building a 2-level local government, merging with Binh Dinh province into a new Gia Lai province, contributing ideas to amending the Constitution, towards the 14th National Party Congress...

While we are emotionally celebrating the birthday of our beloved nation's leader, the world has just said goodbye to a famous president, Jose Mujica.

Thousands of Uruguayans took to the streets of Montevideo to mourn the former president, who died on April 13 after a battle with cancer. Jose Mujica was revered for enacting many progressive reforms during his 2010-2015 term.

Perhaps, in his afterlife, Jose Mujica will smile with satisfaction and will no longer have to regret anything when people express their condolences in praise of his merits: he made the world know about Uruguay, he was the inspiration that motivated people to go out every day to contemplate another lost world, he was the poorest president in the world because he spent most of his salary on charity and had a simple lifestyle.

There is nothing strange or difficult to understand in great people: sacrifice and simplicity, the more sacrifice, the simpler. How necessary it is to exploit their abundant and precious source of energy and inspiration for the development and longevity of the community and the nation!
