Within the framework of this article, we focus on clarifying the contributions demonstrating the talent and noble qualities of the exemplary loyal communist Nguyen Luong Bang in his leadership positions, making important contributions to the victory of the revolutionary cause of our Party and nation.
Only when placed in each historical context can we understand the pioneering role and talent of comrade Nguyen Luong Bang in organizing and building the Party and the State. That was from the extremely difficult and complicated period of the revolutionary movement when our Party had not yet been established (before 1930), in the context of the harsh suppression of the colonial and feudal regimes against our country's revolution (before 1945), the hardships of building and defending the new regime, fighting "internal and external enemies" (1945-1946), before the difficulties and fierceness of the two resistance wars against foreign invaders and the complexity of international relations (1947-1975)...
Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang - a pioneer communist soldier in ideological and organizational work in the early period of the Vietnamese revolution.
Born into a poor patriotic Confucian family in Dong village, now Thanh Tung commune, Thanh Mien district, Hai Duong province; growing up in the context of a country under domination, the people having to live in hardship and misery, comrade Nguyen Luong Bang soon had a spirit of patriotism, love for the people, hatred for colonial invaders, and the will to destroy the yoke of colonial and feudal exploitation. When meeting Nguyen Ai Quoc and being exposed to his path to save the country, the young man Nguyen Luong Bang quickly became a staunch communist soldier, wholeheartedly sacrificing for the revolutionary cause of fighting for national independence, freedom, and happiness of the people.

Right from the early 20th decade of the 20th century, having witnessed and participated in patriotic movements, being propagandized and enlightened, Nguyen Luong Bang was admitted to the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association. After completing the political training course of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association organized by Nguyen Ai Quoc in Guangzhou, in September 1926, comrade Nguyen Luong Bang was assigned to return to the country to work to establish a communication system, spread Marxism-Leninism in the country and expand the revolutionary movement. In just a short time, he demonstrated his role as one of the pioneers in successfully organizing the dissemination of Marxism-Leninism and Nguyen Ai Quoc's revolutionary ideology in Vietnam, successfully building revolutionary bases of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association as well as successfully establishing a domestic and foreign communication system in extremely difficult circumstances, under the fierce pursuit of the enemy.
According to the organization's policy, comrade Nguyen Luong Bang volunteered to join the "proletarianization" movement, grasped the reality, contributed to promoting the combination of Marxism-Leninism, Nguyen Ai Quoc's revolutionary ideology with the workers' movement and the patriotic movement in our country, accelerating the process of moving towards the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam - the vanguard of the working class and the entire nation. He was one of the senior leaders who contributed to building the first political, ideological and organizational foundations of the Party, took the lead in spreading scientific communism in our country during the Party's founding period, and was an effective collaborator of President Ho Chi Minh "in building our Party, educating Party members, and taking care of the Party's ideological and organizational stability".
During his revolutionary activities under the colonial regime, from 1925 to 1945, comrade Nguyen Luong Bang was arrested many times and spent time in many harsh colonial prisons. Facing the brutal tortures of the imperialists, he was never shaken, was extremely loyal to the Fatherland, the People, the Communist Party and the working class, and always maintained his revolutionary spirit.
True to his alias Sao Do - comrade Nguyen Luong Bang became a shining example for revolutionaries, and the enemy feared him. After more than 10 years in prison, having experienced all the challenges of terror, deprivation, and illness, he still persevered in revolutionary activities, leading and educating his comrades to fight against the enemy and traitors. He was brave and resourceful in organizing two successful prison breaks. His escape in 1943 was like a legend, escaping from Son La prison, overcoming extremely dangerous and thorny roads to return to the Party and the People, continuing revolutionary activities.
During his revolutionary activities, Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang paid great attention to Party building, especially attaching importance to the motto of relying on the masses to build the Party, considering it his motto to develop the force as well as the revolutionary movements. He believed that if he did not rely on the masses to build the Party, it would lead to a state of "loose feet". Therefore, he made great efforts to organize and build mass organizations and unions, using them as a springboard to build the Party. His viewpoint was that when mass organizations and unions grow strong and develop widely, the Party will also grow strong and develop widely. Revolution is the cause of the masses, and at the same time, it is also the cause of the Party. When combining these two factors, it will create the strength of the Party and ensure the successful implementation of revolutionary tasks in historical periods.
Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang - talented and exemplary leader.
In August 1945, at the Party's National Conference held in Tan Trao, Tuyen Quang (from August 14 to 15), he was elected as an official member of the Party Central Committee; the National Congress held in Tan Trao (August 16 to 17) elected him to the Standing Committee of the Vietnam National Liberation Committee. As a member of the Party's Central Committee, comrade Nguyen Luong Bang, together with the Party's leaders and the Viet Minh General Department, organized the struggle of our people in extremely difficult circumstances against the oppression of the two imperialists, France and Japan, and dealt with the frenzied terror, pushing the national salvation movement to a climax. Together with President Ho Chi Minh and the Party Central Committee, he participated in leading the August Revolution and was a founding member of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the first revolutionary state in the nation's history, organizing the resistance war against French colonialism, and was a close student and comrade of President Ho Chi Minh in the work of Party building, educating Party members, taking care of the Party's steadfastness in ideology and organization, a factor ensuring all victories of the revolution in historical periods.
Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang's activities and contributions to the revolution have made important contributions to the great victories of the Vietnamese revolution in the 20th century: the victory of the August Revolution in 1945, of the two long resistance wars against the French colonialists and the invading American imperialists; the victory of the cause of building and defending the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland; contributing to improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party, building our State to be clean and strong, truly a State of the People, by the People, for the People; consolidating and enhancing the people's trust in the Party and the revolutionary path chosen by President Ho Chi Minh.

One of the tasks contributing to the successful implementation of the Party's resistance line, strengthening our forces, and gradually transforming the balance of forces between us and the enemy was the work in the fields of economics, finance, and banking. That important task was assigned by the Party to comrade Nguyen Luong Bang, especially from the time of preparing for the August Revolution to the time of the national resistance. In 1947, after the Central Party and Government agencies moved to the Viet Bac resistance zone, comrade Nguyen Luong Bang was assigned to take charge of the Party's economic and financial work, holding the position of Head of the Central Economic and Financial Committee. With his outstanding contributions to the revolutionary activities in general and in directing the Party's economic and financial work in particular, the 2nd National Congress of the Party elected comrade Nguyen Luong Bang as an official member of the Party Central Committee. In 1951, when President Ho Chi Minh signed the decree to establish the National Bank of Vietnam (State Bank of Vietnam), he was appointed the first General Director.
Taking on the role of Head of the Central Economic and Financial Commission, then General Director of the State Bank of Vietnam, Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang was deeply imbued with President Ho Chi Minh's ideology on long-term resistance, both resistance and nation building, and directed the implementation of many effective policies, strengthening important potentials for the resistance wars to protect the independence of the Fatherland and build socialism. During the years in charge of the Party's economic and financial work, Comrade proposed and organized the implementation of correct and creative economic and financial policies and guidelines; built production and business establishments of the Party's finance, making an important contribution to stabilizing the country's economy; ensured a large amount of financial resources to meet the leadership and operational needs of the Party, contributing to the victory of the revolutionary cause of the Party and our people. Comrade was also the one who took care of building a team of financial cadres with good qualities and abilities, contributing key cadres to the economic and financial sectors of the State. Our Party assessed: "Comrade made important contributions to the cause of building a revolutionary government, building our country's financial foundation and organizing the resistance war against France."
As the first Vietnamese Ambassador to the Soviet Union and in charge of Eastern Europe, Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang carried out activities to fulfill the goals of solidarity with other socialist countries, solidarity with the working class and peace-loving people in the world, together fighting against the common enemy of imperialism, for peace, national independence, democracy and socialism. At the same time, with his talent and intelligence, he carried out many activities to strengthen good relations with embassies of Asian, African, Latin American countries and international organizations, contributing to promoting the increasingly strong movement for peace and democracy of progressive people in the world, opposing the unjust war of French colonialism, supporting the resistance of the Vietnamese people.
In 1956, in response to the country's new tasks, Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang was assigned to assume the duties of Head of the Party's Central Inspection Commission and the Inspector General of the Government. He always demonstrated his leadership talent and loyalty to the interests of the Party and the People, his exemplary character and the pure heart of a Communist. He affirmed: "In the work of Party building, there are three important tasks: ideological work, organization and inspection. If one of these three tasks is missing, it will have a negative impact on the work of Party building."
According to him, the inspection work must grasp the Party's disciplinary principles, first of all, to educate Party members not to repeat mistakes, and the application of any form of discipline is also aimed at educating and paving the way for Party members to correct mistakes; at the same time, to prevent and stop violations; to prevent and combat corruption, waste, bureaucracy, and alienation from the masses. He pointed out: "The Party's inspection work itself aims to ensure unity and consensus within the Party; to ensure compliance with all Party guidelines and policies"; “Inspection and examination work not only finds mistakes in the implementation of guidelines, policies and guidelines, but also finds shortcomings and mistakes in the resolutions, directives and policies themselves in order to promptly supplement and amend them to suit the actual situation. Through inspection work, we can see the spirit and capacity of the staff, on that basis, there are correct personnel policies from training, promotion, appointment... and handling of cadres with violations, degenerate and corrupt cadres”. Therefore, inspection and examination work has a great effect in strengthening the Party, strengthening the government, and enhancing the people's trust in the Party and the State.
As Vice President, Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang was a trusted associate of President Ton Duc Thang, continuing the career of President Ho Chi Minh - fighting tirelessly for the cause of national reunification, building socialism and defending the Fatherland. During the tense months of 1972, when the US imperialists returned to escalate their fierce air and naval attacks on the North for the second time, Vice President Nguyen Luong Bang and other Party and State leaders resolutely directed the army and people of the North to smash the plot of the US imperialists to force Vietnam to accept the terms they set at the negotiating table at the Paris Conference. At the same time, he personally went to the places devastated by US bombs to visit and encourage the people and soldiers.
Within the scope of his assigned work, Vice President Nguyen Luong Bang paid great attention to the socio-economic development situation, the leadership style of the Party committees and authorities, and especially the lives of the people in the localities. After the Paris Agreement on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam was signed, he visited and worked in a series of localities, visited and encouraged people and soldiers to overcome difficulties, take advantage of peaceful conditions to stabilize their lives, restore and develop production, and fulfill the duty of the great rear for the struggle to liberate the South and unify the country.
Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang's success in carrying out the tasks assigned by the Party is closely linked to his working methods, and at the same time demonstrates the mettle of a leader who always puts the interests of the nation and the Party above all else. Faced with the complexity, richness, and liveliness of life, to solve a practical problem or a strategic problem of the Party, Comrade always patiently implements methods that both ensure principles and harmony in working relationships. That leadership method not only contributes to the formation of directives and resolutions that are close to reality, but also makes an important contribution to strengthening the building of a strong Party and State, worthy of the trust of the People.
Commenting on comrade Nguyen Luong Bang, comrade Do Muoi, former General Secretary of the Party Central Committee, affirmed: “Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang, our beloved elder brother, has devoted his whole life to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation. He is a shining example of a steadfast and indomitable revolutionary spirit, of revolutionary ethics of diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality, and a diligent and simple working style; he is a leader and comrade who is loved and admired by the entire Party and the entire people.” The rich revolutionary life and outstanding contributions of generations of revolutionary cadres, including comrade Nguyen Luong Bang, have written extremely glorious pages of the history of the Vietnamese revolution, opening the path to national independence and socialism, leading our people on the path to building a free, prosperous, happy and prosperous life.
Currently, the renovation process initiated and led by our Party has achieved great achievements of important historical significance, bringing the country out of crisis and underdevelopment, maintaining political stability, developing the economy, effectively solving many social problems, consolidating national defense and security, expanding foreign relations... bringing new position and strength to the country. In the context of the world and the region continuing to have many complex and unpredictable developments; hostile forces and political opportunists continue to step up sabotage activities. In addition, the degradation of a number of cadres and party members and manifestations of "self-evolution", "self-transformation", "group interests", corruption, negativity... continue to pose great challenges to the cause of building and defending the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland.
The 120th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang (April 2, 1904 - April 2, 2024) is an opportunity for all cadres, party members and people to express their gratitude and honor the outstanding communist soldier, the talented leader who devoted himself to the cause of national liberation, construction and development of the country. This is also an opportunity for each cadre and party member to reflect on and learn from Comrade Nguyen Luong Bang, promote the pioneering role, set an example of practicing revolutionary ethics, dedicate themselves, constantly cultivate and train to improve political qualities, innovate creatively, strive to meet the requirements and tasks in the new situation, contribute to promoting the comprehensive renovation, successfully implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, for the goal of a rich people, a strong country, democracy, fairness and civilization./.
