During his lifetime, a prominent issue that President Ho Chi Minh paid special attention to was the education of political ideals and revolutionary morality for the young generation, in which the Vietnamese revolutionary press was led by President Ho Chi Minh. Founding and leading by Ho Chi Minh is an important army on this "front". People always ask and expect the Vietnamese revolutionary press to help young people have the right orientation about the ideal of life.
In the Ho Chi Minh era, the youth's ideal of life was to accompany the nation, towards the values of independence, freedom, and socialism, and dedicate themselves to that ideal. And the press must always be a companion with young people on those journeys.
Vietnam's revolutionary history proves that the revolutionary press has always been attached to the ups and downs of the country's history and is a reliable guide of the country's compatriots, encouraging the country to follow the path that Party, Uncle Ho and People have chosen. The press is not only the main means to spread Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, but also an effective tool to educate political consciousness, forge patriotism, pride, the will to self-reliance and national self-reliance, promoting the strength of the youth in each revolutionary period of the country.
In the context of the new situation, the media's participation in educating young people on revolutionary ideals, morality and lifestyle is concerned in many aspects. The press has taken the initiative, working with branches and levels to build a healthy social environment for young people to be trained, devoted and mature.
