Simple and humble

Every citizen of the country as well as international visitors, when setting foot on the simple stilt house of President Ho, the great leader of the nation, the world's outstanding cultural celebrity, were extremely surprised and moved when seeing the bed Uncle Ho lay on, the table and chair he sat on to work, the transistor radio, the clock he used, the khaki clothes he often wore, the tire sandals he wore... how simple and plain they were! Only the wind from the vast green garden blowing, the ripples on the lake surface of the fish swimming and catching prey made the scene of the stilt house more poetic and liberal. Perhaps, no leader in the world has such a simple and noble life! And every citizen of our country could not hold back their tears when seeing on the television screen the image of Uncle walking briskly on a working trip in a mountainous area, with tire sandals, brown turtle shells... Uncle stopped to bathe in a stream and when he finished bathing, he hung his clothes on a stick he carried on his shoulder. The cadres who worked with Uncle Ho also said that on such business trips, he often prepared rice balls with crispy eggplant and braised shrimp to eat along the way, not wanting to bother the reception of the local authorities.

Not only in daily life but also in the way of writing and speaking, Uncle Ho was extremely simple and easy to understand, the main thing is to make the working masses understand and do it. This, Uncle Ho reminded journalists many times to write in a short, concise, easy to understand way, not to go on and on, making the reader feel like they are lost in the green forest, unable to find the way out. When he left this world, in his Will, he also advised: "After I pass away, do not organize a grand funeral, so as not to waste the people's time and money..." There are many touching stories about Uncle Ho's simplicity. Uncle Ho was simple and frugal like that because the great purpose was to bring benefits to the people of the country. In an interview with journalists in January 1946, Uncle Ho said: "I have only one desire, the utmost desire, which is to make our country completely independent, our people completely free, everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone can go to school." And when that wish was fulfilled, Uncle "built a small house, where there are green mountains and blue water, to fish, grow vegetables, and be friends with the old people gathering firewood and the young children herding buffalo all day and night, not having anything to do with fame and fortune."

Uncle Ho's greatness is also reflected in his modesty. We all know that Uncle Ho traveled all over the world to find a way to save the country. He knew 28 languages, of which he spoke and wrote fluently 12. Mrs. J.xiz-son, an American historian, used her own money to travel around the world following in his footsteps to find "original evidence of Ho Chi Minh". She concluded: "Ho Chi Minh is a great communist, a superman. He is even greater because he is an ordinary person, living in harmony with social life, not a superman". And "This 20th century human civilization is proud to have a great man who was awarded by the world as a national liberation hero and an outstanding cultural celebrity. Ho Chi Minh will forever be an example of a modern man's personality for all future generations" (According to events and witnesses - Thanh Ngoc).

Uncle Ho was so great, but he never considered himself a great man standing above the world, but always blended into ordinary life, humbly listening and learning from everyone. He used to be a cook and a snow sweeper on the streets of London, doing many jobs to make a living and learn to find ways to save the people and save the country. During his time in the capital of Paris, France, he wrote and worked in newspapers to expose the crimes of colonialism and propagandize and encourage people to fight to overthrow the domination of French colonialism.

Later, when he returned to the country, Uncle Ho wrote thousands of articles, and he gave them to his comrades to read. If there was anything they did not understand, he was ready to correct it. He often advised our cadres and party members not to hide their ignorance. If there was anything they did not understand, they had to learn and ask, and not write nonsense or speak nonsense. There are still many things to say about studying Uncle Ho's morality. We party members and cadres have studied Uncle Ho's ideology and morality several times, but we have studied without practicing. The responsibility of each party member and party cell is to organize, introduce, and study well, closely related to the actual situation of each organization and unit, with clear division of labor and tasks to train and correctly assess the situation of cadres and party members. Cadres and party members need to seriously study, self-criticize and criticize to promote good aspects, overcome bad aspects, build increasingly clean and strong party cells and party organizations with high capacity and fighting spirit, and successfully complete assigned tasks.
