The Party has returned to my heart.

In my hometown Nghe An, there is not a single village that has not experienced the pain of war, so everyone understands that the price to pay for peace and independence is the blood sacrifice of generations of fathers, soldiers, and communist party members on the revolutionary path to national liberation.

We belong to the generation“I am a young bamboo shoot, I grew up in the revolutionary season. Happiness comes from having the vanguard Party, having the Party like the sunlight, living happily in love…”to be happy and live fully throughout the journey of change of the Fatherland since its complete liberation until now, to clearly feel the ups and downs of the renovation career led by the Party.

During our childhood years, we were proud of the Party through our father's stories, our mother's confidences, and songs praising the country and the growth of our homeland. We were moved when we were able to stand in the ranks of the team with bright red scarves, and we were happy when we took the oath under the Youth Union flag, blending with the colors of the Party flag and the glorious national flag.

The affectionate images filled with the care of the leaders, the leaders, and the bright faith of our parents and neighbors in the Party's cause of innovation have entered our subconscious, making us realize that the Party is the closest and most beloved thing in our lives. Then, growing up, we learned about Marxism-Leninism - the ideology that showed the way to liberation for the peasants, the oppressed, miserable workers. Knowing more about Uncle Ho - the person we respected and loved like a mother, like a father, who founded the Party - to provide a place for the most patriotic children to return to, is also the time when we understand the great happiness of the Vietnamese Fatherland when there is a Party, when there are loyal soldiers who have fought and sacrificed their whole lives for the nation.

We, like millions of Vietnamese people from all over the world, all look to the Fatherland. Although there are still different opinions here and there, it is undeniable that the Party's cause is linked to the fate of the Nation, making Vietnam beautiful and peaceful as it is today. Then, like a young man or a young woman falling in love, we follow every breath, walking with the Party on the path of leading the construction of the Fatherland.

We are happy when the country is freed from poverty, we are happy when the country is growing stronger and we are sad when there are still many unfortunate lives, we are extremely resentful when witnessing greed. We realize that the Party is also a part of our flesh and blood, sometimes healthy, sometimes sick, but to survive, we must cure all diseases. Entering the period of renovation, the Party has courageously cured the disease of bureaucracy and voluntarism, bringing the country forward to integrate with the five continents, so that we have enough food and warm clothes, and are taken care of and happily study.

But then the greed of some party cadres and members made the people's hearts stir, worried about the Party's career. However, we, the grown-up children as well as all the people of Vietnam, always believe that the dust particles of everyday life cannot cover up the journey, the mountains cannot stop the mighty water flowing towards the ocean. That's right, history has returned to the great man, the Party once again courageously corrected the mistakes and shortcomings with strong decisions like the sword of the Golden Turtle God to eradicate embezzlement and corruption with the spirit of Dien Hong, "the furnace is hot", dry wood, fresh wood with worms cannot survive.

Overview of the 4th Conference of the 12th Party Central Committee. The Conference discussed and issued Resolution No. 04-NQ/TW on strengthening Party building and rectification; preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, morality, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party.

Taking cadre work as the first step, the key of all keys, the policy of all policies is the first and most effective remedy to cure the incurable disease that has eroded the people's trust and dried up their love for the Party. The revolutionary path of the Party is like the Lam River in my hometown, with its rapids and rapids, one side eroding and the other depositing, carrying heavy alluvium, yet still clear and green, flowing abundantly in the folk songs.

In the past, we were choked up when we heard Uncle Ho's words again, when we read books about the glorious feats of the revolution and our ancestors to have more faith in life.

Today, fortunately, the entire Vietnamese people are able to relive those days filled with faith and love. The great Party has returned intact in our hearts, in the hearts of every Vietnamese person, by washing away the dust of the road, removing the indifferent rocks, and eliminating the worms that block the path to truth.

The image of the General Secretary with silver hair, thin shoulders, full of emotions before the parliament yesterday, now resolute, rushing into the battle like a hero commanding the battlefield to destroy the "internal invaders"; the image of the National Assembly resolutely, frankly fighting for the right, for the country's survival and glory, and the billion-dollar cases brought to light, followed by the whole nation, is a strong affirmation of the Party's mission as outlined by Uncle Ho: "Apart from the interests of the Fatherland, of the class, of the nation, our Party has no other interests".

The founding day of the Party on February 3rd in the middle of this spring is so warm when the nation and the people's hearts have moved forward in unison, the loyal soldiers sing the marching song with the belief of certain victory. We, a generation close to our fathers and brothers, will vow to wholeheartedly follow the revolutionary path of the Party and Uncle Ho with great determination in studying, working, and fighting to contribute to the homeland; with the steadfastness in the ideological stance of a communist soldier so that our country Vietnam will forever be "Dai Viet" forever!
