In 1951, President Ho Chi Minh, during a working trip, visited the 312th Youth Volunteer Brigade, which was tasked with ensuring traffic on Highway 3 to support the resistance war at Na Cu Bridge, Na Tu village, Cam Giang district, Bac Kan province. After cordially inquiring about their well-being, President Ho Chi Minh reminded all officers and members to have a work plan, overcome difficulties, unite, and organize emulation campaigns effectively to quickly complete their tasks. In particular, he dedicated four immortal verses to this youth volunteer unit:
"Nothing is impossible."
The only fear is a lack of perseverance.
Digging mountains and filling seas.
"With determination, anything can be achieved."
The intimate meeting between Uncle Ho and the 312th Youth Volunteer Brigade in the Na Tu forest lasted about an hour, but Uncle Ho's teachings became the guiding principles for action during the years of resistance against French colonialism and American imperialism, accompanying Vietnamese youth throughout the stages of building and defending the Fatherland.
In 1996, the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) decided to recognize and classify Na Tu Relic as a National Historical Relic.
- A year begins in spring / A life begins in youth / Youth is the spring of society.
