“In many fine traditions, the Vietnamese people always uphold an extremely good and beautiful tradition: Remembering ancestors, remembering those who have made great contributions to building and defending the country. Within the scope of a small collective, which is a village, including many clans, many families, as well as within the scope of the whole country, our entire nation, in our spiritual life, our ideological and emotional life, are all linked to the present with the past. From there, we maintain and promote good traditional virtues: patriotism, solidarity, steadfast and indomitable will, deep and strong belief in our own talents…”. That is the feeling of the late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong published in the article “On the occasion of the Hung King’s death anniversary” in Nhan Dan newspaper, issue 5494, published on April 29, 1969, which was solemnly introduced by the group of authors of “The Hung King Era” in the book of the same name.
