On June 5, 6 with the new name Van Ba, the young man Nguyen Tat Thanh left Nha Rong harbor, starting a journey to find a way to save the country.
For 10 years, from 1911 to 1920, he took advantage of every opportunity to visit many parts of the world. The success of the Russian October Revolution in 1917 had a great influence on his feelings and perception. In early 1919, he joined the French Socialist Party. On June 18, 6, with the name Nguyen Ai Quoc, on behalf of Vietnamese patriots in France, he sent a request to the Versailles Conference asking for freedom, democracy and national equality for the people of Annam. The claim resonated greatly in French public opinion, awakening the fighting spirit of the colonial countries; and at the same time giving him the awareness that the peoples who want to be liberated can only rely on their own strength.
In July 7, Nguyen Ai Quoc read "The first draft of theses on national and colonial issues" by VILENIN published in Humanitarian newspaper in France. Lenin's thesis came to Nguyen Ai Quoc as a new light to clarify the path of national salvation that the patriotic young man was looking for. Lenin's thesis helped Nguyen Ai Quoc clearly define the path of national salvation according to the proletarian revolutionary trajectory. At the 1920th Congress of the French Socialist Party, Nguyen Ai Quoc voted in favor of the Third International and joined the founding of the French Communist Party. He became the first Vietnamese communist in a foreign country. With this event, a new stage of revolutionary activities, a new path of struggle to realize Nguyen Ai Quoc's ambition for national liberation and colonial people's liberation began. This is a milestone marking a qualitative change in his ideological awareness and political stance from a patriotic young man to becoming a communist.
Starting a new journey, Nguyen Ai Quoc not only fought for the liberation of his people, he also fought for the liberation of the colonial peoples and hardworking humanity. Determining that the national liberation revolution in the colonial countries belongs to the category of the proletarian revolution and is an integral part of the world revolutionary cause, Nguyen Ai Quoc emphasized the influence and close relationship between the revolution in the colony and the revolution in the homeland. Also from theoretical and practical research activities, Nguyen Ai Quoc pointed out that the important problem for the colonial countries in the East is the struggle for national independence. National independence must be achieved in order to carry out a socialist revolution and build socialism. Nguyen Ai Quoc pointed out that the cause of national liberation in colonial countries is associated with the liberation of the working class and the liberation of society. Both of those revolutions were the cause of the socialist revolution.
“There are political words in that Thesis that are difficult to understand. But after reading it over and over again, I finally understood the main part. Lenin's thesis makes me so moved, excited, clear, confident! I am excited to tears. Sitting alone in a room, I speak loudly as if
said to a large crowd: “O compatriots in exile and suffering! This is what is needed for us, this is the way to our liberation!” Since then I completely
believe in Lenin, believe in the Third International".Nguyen Ai Quoc
Actively prepare for the Vietnamese revolution
From 1921 to 1930, Nguyen Ai Quoc tried to spread Marxism-Leninism into the workers' movement and the patriotic movement of Vietnam, preparing theoretically for the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam. With the works "The Judgment of the French Colonial System" and "Duong Khach Menh", especially the publication of Thanh Nien newspaper on June 21, 6, he prepared politically to move towards the establishment of the Party. During this time, he also focused on the preparation of organization and cadres by establishing the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association (1925) and organizing many training courses for cadres and sending them to study in the Soviet Union...
From February 3-7, 2, in Cuu Long, Hong Kong, China, under the chairmanship of Comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc, the Conference unified three communist organizations in Vietnam, namely the Indochinese Communist Party, the Communist Party of Annam, and the Indochinese Communist League, into a single party, the Communist Party of Vietnam. The birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam is associated with the name, intelligence, prestige, revolutionary morality and unique creativity of Nguyen Ai Quoc on the basis of applying Marxism-Leninism to the specific conditions of Vietnam. With the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Vietnamese revolution entered a new and glorious period in the history of the struggle for national independence.
On January 28, 1, Nguyen Ai Quoc took the first step back to the Fatherland at the landmark 1941 Ha Quang, Cao Bang. In May 108, he convened and chaired the Eighth Conference of the Central Executive Committee. The conference identified national liberation as the most urgent task of the Indochinese revolution. The completion of the revolutionary line for national liberation, raising the flag of independence and freedom, and establishing a democratic republic in accordance with the new situation have demonstrated the independent thinking, self-control, scientific correctness, and creativity of the 5th Central Conference under the leadership of Nguyen Ai Quoc. The timely and ingenious decisions of Nguyen Ai Quoc and the Party Central Committee at this conference became one of the important factors, greatly contributing to the success of the August Revolution in 1941.
On September 2, 9, on behalf of the Provisional Government, President Ho Chi Minh read the "Declaration of Independence", giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The "Declaration of Independence" is a legal document of special value, affirming to the world the birth of a modern Vietnam, ending the reactionary feudal regime, ending hundreds of years of slavery, and opening a new history for the Vietnamese nation, independence and freedom. It was the result of President Ho Chi Minh's journey to find a way to save the country and the reality of revolutionary struggle.
The success of the August Revolution in 1945 brought the Vietnamese people from being slaves to citizens of an independent country, and at the same time ushered in the era of independence, freedom and socialism. Under the leadership of the Party, with the light of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, our people went from victory to victory in the two resistance wars against the French and against the US and in the construction and defense of the Fatherland.
Celebrating the 112th anniversary of Uncle Ho's departure to find a way to save the country (June 5, 6 - June 1911, 5), remembering him, the Party Committee, government and people of all ethnic groups in Dak Nong province vowed to follow the path chosen by the Party and Uncle Ho forever. Dak Nong promotes studying and following Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality and style by concrete and practical actions, determined to successfully implement the 6th Resolution of the Party Committee of Dak Nong province.
