Happy Spring

During wartime, having passed the height and weight requirements to be recruited into the army, the village boy achieved his goal and smiled happily. In peacetime, the farmer left his buffaloes and sat behind the tractor, his heart overflowing with happiness.

The woman, having gotten married and endured the pain of childbirth, smiled happily when she saw her firstborn child resemble his father. The student, diligently studying, received a certificate of merit at the end of the year and proudly showed it to his parents, filling the whole family with joy and happiness…

So what is happiness, and where does it come from? Just two words, yet so many definitions, millions of different scenarios, all alike in the result of the effort put into achieving it. That is happiness.

Therefore, happiness has no uniform form, no specific shape, it cannot be seen or touched, it cannot be quantified in terms of weight or size, or duration; it is something we perceive through reality.

In short, happiness is what people desire through striving to overcome adversity, rising above challenges, and it has no ultimate goal.

Remembering his daughter's question: What is happiness? Marx answered: "Happiness is struggle." This implies that everything in life has two sides: gain and loss, good and bad, old and new, progress and backwardness…

It is a contradiction of two opposing sides, constantly struggling against each other in a life-or-death battle, a fierce tug-of-war. When the new, progressive triumphs over the old, backward, and emerging, new contradictions arise.

Thus, society is always a struggle between two opposing forces striving for progress. Struggle is the driving force behind progress and happiness. Communists always view happiness as a struggle that brings justice and happiness to their people.

Uncle Ho was a man whose heart burned with the desire to bring happiness to the Vietnamese people and to humanity. Upon seizing power, he put forward the name of the country: Democratic Republic of Vietnam - Independence - Freedom - Happiness.

Despite facing an invading enemy a hundred times more powerful than us, for the goal of Independence, Freedom, and Happiness, Uncle Ho and our Party led the entire Vietnamese people to rise up in resistance, vowing to uphold the Independence, Freedom, and Happiness that we had won.

For 30 long years, filled with tears, blood, and sacrifice, we have steadfastly upheld our Independence and Freedom.

After 50 years of building and defending the Fatherland, independence has become even more secure, freedom for our people has expanded further, and our entire country is transforming and entering a new era of development, prosperity, modernity, and civilization.

In particular, the Central Committee of the Party emphasized the title "Happiness," aiming to make the country even more peaceful, the people even happier, progress even more advanced, and the already wealthy even richer and stronger…

Just as spring is endless, so too is the happiness of our people ever more boundless as we progress…
