The great victory of Spring 1975 was a magnificent achievement of the entire Vietnamese nation under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam . This victory was not only the result of strategic brilliance, unwavering determination, and brilliant military leadership, but also the strength of the people's will, the culmination of their aspirations for peace, independence, and freedom. It was the result of over 30 years of protracted resistance, of countless sacrifices and losses of previous generations, so that the country could live in peace today, and each citizen could freely contribute to building a new life.
The victory of April 30th not only holds historical significance for the Vietnamese nation but also has profound international implications. It is a shining symbol of the national liberation struggle, of the spirit of independence, self-reliance, and unwavering resistance against external imposition and aggression. From this victory, a powerful message is sent to humanity: no force can subdue a united, patriotic nation that knows how to preserve its identity.
Fifty years have passed since that historic day, but the echoes of the victory on April 30th continue to resonate. It is not only a source of pride but also a sacred reminder for every citizen, especially today's young generation, to always cherish the valuable lessons of history. Because any nation that forgets its past, that forgets the sacrifices its ancestors made, will lose its roots and its guiding light for the future.
In the current context, as the country is undergoing daily renewal, integration, and development, the historical values of the great victory of Spring 1975 remain intact. What can we learn from that victory? It is the lesson of national unity – the strength that creates all victories. It is the lesson of the correct leadership role of the Party – the decisive factor in the nation's destiny. And above all, it is the spirit of patriotism, the unwavering will to overcome all challenges and hardships – a precious asset for today's generation to overcome all obstacles on the path of integration and building a prosperous and powerful Vietnam.
No one can choose the past, but each generation has the right and the responsibility to write the future. Today's young generation, regardless of their field of activity – science, technology, culture, economics , or education – still needs to understand and appreciate history. Because it is the solid foundation upon which each individual builds their ideals, cultivates character, and fulfills their civic responsibilities. Being proud of our national history is not just about celebrating past victories, but also about illuminating the path ahead, preserving the core values that have made Vietnam strong in the face of all challenges.
History is not just found in books or museums. History lives on in every village communal house, every memorial plaque, in every story told by those who lived and fought for national independence. And above all, history is present in the very rhythm of life today – as young people continue to uphold ideals and live responsibly towards their community and country.
Every April 30th, the shimmering candles lit at war cemeteries, the moments of silence before monuments, and the quiet streams of people visiting the graves of fallen heroes... all bear witness to the profound gratitude of generations today towards those who have sacrificed their lives. This is also how we preserve the flame of history, to pass it on to future generations.
The 50th anniversary of the great victory of Spring 1975 is not only an occasion to recall a glorious chapter in the nation's history, but also an opportunity to reflect on the country's journey forward, and to examine the role and responsibility of each citizen in building and defending the Fatherland. More than ever, we need to continue nurturing patriotism, igniting the desire to contribute, and fostering creativity, so that each person is a "soldier" on a new front – the front of knowledge, labor, and creativity – for a sustainably developed Vietnam.
The victory of April 30th will forever be a guiding banner, an immortal symbol of patriotism and the aspiration for independence and freedom. No matter how much time passes or how the world changes, the values and lessons from that historic victory will remain – a reminder, a source of pride, and a rallying cry for us – the children of Vietnam – to stand together in the journey of building our nation.
And so, April is not just a memory, April is also a belief.
