President Ho Chi Minh, national liberation hero, outstanding cultural figure, great intellect, great man, great courage, beloved leader of our nation! He has been gone for half a century, but his ideology, morality, style, noble and great career he left for our Party, our compatriots, our nation, our people are extremely great, precious, and will last forever.

One of the spiritual values ​​and material strength of President Ho Chi Minh that lives forever in the minds and lives of generations of cadres, party members, and people today and in the future is his shining example of exemplary behavior. He sacrificed and devoted his entire life to the people and the country, without any worries or personal calculations until the moment he left this world.

Speaking of President Ho Chi Minh's example, we can all perceive and learn from him through stories about Ho Chi Minh; through studying his history and activities; through in-depth research on his ideological, moral, and style values, which are elevated to the height and depth of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, theory, morality, and style. However, President Ho Chi Minh's example can be summarized in the following main points:

A pioneering role model, taking responsibility for oneself regardless of hardships and dangers

Right from the early years of the 20th century, the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh, 21 years old, witnessed the scene of his people and compatriots being brutally oppressed by feudal colonialists, living in agony and pain as slaves, and took upon himself the responsibility to go out and find a way to save the country, bringing "freedom to his compatriots, independence to the Fatherland".

In the context of the country being tragically immersed in slavery, with nothing but empty hands, that young man took responsibility for himself, accepted the commitment to plunge into the stormy whirlpool of imperialism raging in the world to find a way to save the country and save the people.

A historic decision to accept countless challenges, the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh had only one desire, an iron-clad belief that his people, his Fatherland must live independently, freely, and happily like other peoples in the world. Having faith and aspiration, Nguyen Tat Thanh, Nguyen Ai Quoc, and Ho Chi Minh were the crystallization of the will, spirit, dignity, personality, and tradition of peoples who dared to stand up, find a way, and lead the whole nation to liberate itself.

Throughout his journey of several decades traveling around the world to find a way to save the country and his entire life leading the Vietnamese revolution, Ho Chi Minh's example helped him overcome countless challenges, imprisonment, and defeat the most evil, vicious, and brutal enemies on the planet. In fact, President Ho Chi Minh's vivid example is a profound lesson, the first lesson he taught our cadres, party members, and people to be proactive, self-aware, pioneering, exemplary, not afraid of difficulties and hardships, and daring to sacrifice for the noble cause of the nation.

President Ho Chi Minh pointed out that cadres and party members must set an example in all tasks, from small to large. He often reminded, "Party members go first, the country follows". Leading by example, daring to think, daring to do, daring to rush into hardships so that the masses believe and follow is the quality, personality, and spirit of cadres and party members. President Ho Chi Minh required cadres and party members to put aside individualism, not to calculate or seek private interests, and always put the common interests of the people, country, and nation first and foremost. That is the basis, the starting point for the awareness of daring to sacrifice and strive, the vanguard and exemplary nature of cadres and party members at any time.

The example of President Ho Chi Minh's words and actions

President Ho Chi Minh believed that making a revolution is to replace the old, bad social regime and build a new, better, more civilized, and more progressive social regime.

Throughout his life, he always kept in mind the will to make our people, our compatriots, our Fatherland, our nation escape from poverty and backwardness, everyone is prosperous, free, happy, everyone can study; our country is increasingly rich and strong, standing shoulder to shoulder with progressive brother countries in the world. Realizing that ideal, Ho Chi Minh devoted his whole life from his youth until his death, accepting the commitment with many challenges, the most cunning, brutal, aggressive enemies of the era and won gloriously.

From a country that had been under colonial rule for nearly a hundred years, Ho Chi Minh led our Party and people to successfully carry out the August Revolution in 1945, establishing the first worker-peasant state in Southeast Asia - an aspiration that he had always dreamed of. The August Revolution in 1945 succeeded, the country had to face countless difficulties and challenges, internal and external enemies, famine, illiteracy, and a "life-threatening" situation, but with creativity and a desire for independence and freedom, Ho Chi Minh led our Party and people to overcome all of them to fight and win, maintaining the independence of the newly established young state.

Speaking and doing are the spirit, soul, and example of Ho Chi Minh. The Democratic Republic of Vietnam had just been established in 1945, in 1946 the French colonialists returned to take over our country with all the ambition of the old colonialist leader. President Ho Chi Minh declared that we would never lose our country, our people's resistance against the French colonialists would definitely win, the enemy would definitely lose. With the will and determination of a great intellect, great man, and great courage, President Ho Chi Minh led our Party and people to carry out a sacred 9-year resistance war, forcing the French colonialists to a humiliating defeat, withdrawing from our country with the historic Dien Bien Phu Campaign on May 7, 1954.

Next, neo-colonialism, led by the US imperialists with strong soldiers, strong generals, wealth like water, modern weapons, brutality, inhumanity, aggressively wanted to replace the French colonialists to oppress, enslave and rob our country. Knowing the enemy, knowing ourselves, Ho Chi Minh resolutely called on all our people to fight the enemy, refusing to submit to any plots, tricks, or forces of the enemy, determined to fight until complete victory. Ho Chi Minh led our entire Party and people to conduct a creative people's war, using "water" to extinguish "fire", and in the end, the US imperialists failed, our people won, the Fatherland was unified and moved towards socialism, today continuing to innovate, develop, and integrate with the modern world, bringing our country on par with the world powers.

Regarding the great matters related to the historical destiny of the nation, Ho Chi Minh said he would do it, and he would do it. He said that Vietnam has the right to independence and freedom; that our people's resistance war against French colonialism will definitely be victorious; that in the war against American imperialism, we will definitely win, the enemy will definitely lose; that by defeating the American invaders, we will rebuild our country to be more dignified and beautiful... Ho Chi Minh has excellently fulfilled all his wishes. He has done all the great things he said.

Not only big things, even very small, specific things that seem to be little noticed in daily life, Ho Chi Minh said and did, did first, did well for cadres and party members to follow. To save the famine in 1945, he called on everyone to set up a "famine relief rice jar", he did that first and regularly. Ho Chi Minh called for increased production and savings, he picked up a hoe to grow vegetables, and gave vegetables to the kitchen. He practiced saving time, saving supplies, saving costs so as not to waste public money...

Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle, clearly his example of words and actions is an extremely great, practical, useful, creative and necessary lesson for each of us in daily life.

Ho Chi Minh's example of diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality and selflessness

From the time he was a young patriot working abroad to when he became a politician and a leader of the nation, President Ho Chi Minh always maintained the style of a great cultural figure at the height of intelligence and personality: diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality.

Ho Chi Minh believed that hard work and creativity are the nature and noble value of human beings. He determined that labor in all forms, whether manual or intellectual, has true value to society and the individual. Hard work, creativity, and patient labor all help make human life meaningful. Determining the true goal and honest labor, Ho Chi Minh accepted to do any useful work. To achieve the goal of finding a way to save the country, Ho Chi Minh accepted to do all necessary jobs such as kitchen assistant, stove fan, dishwasher, waiter, newspaper seller, photo developer... He took advantage of every possible time to learn and use up to a dozen foreign languages ​​to help conduct research to find a way to save the country. In life, Ho Chi Minh saved everything with the motto of using what is necessary, not what is not, using according to the current conditions, not wasting. He believed that saving does not mean being stingy, not daring to spend. That would ruin things. On the contrary, spending and overspending while our compatriots and soldiers are still poor and in need, yet spending lavishly, extravagantly, and ostentatiously is against revolutionary ethics.

Along with diligence, thrift, integrity, and uprightness, Ho Chi Minh was a model of integrity, impartiality, and impartiality. He repeatedly reminded cadres and party members to respect public property and not to appropriate public property for private gain. According to him, corruption and waste are the most serious crimes, the most vile and despicable, and are thefts from the people. Corruption and appropriation of public property for private gain are individualism, an unacceptable internal enemy.

In daily life, Ho Chi Minh was a shining example of simplicity, integrity, and purity. Throughout his life, he only cared for the people and the country. His simplicity stemmed from nobility, exuding noble values, sublimating the noble qualities of a great cultural figure, and was a shining example for all classes of people to follow.

Ho Chi Minh's example of scientific, effective and practical working style

President Ho Chi Minh was a great leader of the nation and the Vietnamese people. He had extremely rich, concrete, and practical experiences in life, in all fields, situations, circumstances, and times. That helped Ho Chi Minh have a very scientific way of thinking and acting, combining theory with reality, always not straying from the revolutionary goals and practicality and efficiency in work. Ho Chi Minh always taught cadres and party members to stick to reality, to understand life, to start from life and return to life.

He pointed out that studying and propagating must be specific and practical, not empty, verbose, long-winded, rambling, without clear goals and objectives. All work must have a clear plan, goals, measures, steps and specific and practical results must be checked and evaluated. He wrote the work "Reforming the working style" to train and educate cadres and party members. He required scientific work that was not far from reality, had a plan, was specific and accurate, directives and resolutions must be organized and directed, must be urged, checked, evaluated, summarized and lessons learned.

Despite the busy work of a President, in war as well as peace, Ho Chi Minh did not miss anything and always visited and encouraged cadres, soldiers, workers, and farmers with achievements; reminded and accurately criticized cadres, party members, and localities with errors and weaknesses. The scientific, specific, precise, and effective lifestyle and work style is a shining example of President Ho Chi Minh.

Ho Chi Minh's example of being close to the people, loving the people, and serving the people

A foreign poet once commented about Ho Chi Minh as a soldier, a teacher, a poet, a communist, a leader because Ho Chi Minh is a citizen, Ho Chi Minh is from the people.

Since his youth, Ho Chi Minh was very understanding, sympathetic and shared the lives of the people around him. He sought a way to save the country, traveled around the world, lived with people of all classes in all countries, and understood the suffering of the working people. He made an immortal observation that on this earth, billions of people, regardless of skin color, race, or religion, there are only two types of people: the oppressors and the oppressed. Ho Chi Minh was indignant at this division, strongly condemned the oppressors, and he sided with the oppressed, defended them, and resolutely fought against the oppressors.

For the people in general, the Vietnamese people in particular, Ho Chi Minh always believed in their abilities, seeing in the people the endless source of strength of history. At the same time, Ho Chi Minh always respected, loved, and was close to them. He taught cadres and party members to be close to the people, to love the people, to understand the people, to learn from the people, to serve the people with all their heart and soul. He required cadres from the Central to the village level to truly be servants of the people, not to act like revolutionary officials, giving to the people.

Ho Chi Minh not only cared for and was close to the people, but he was also very understanding, sympathetic, sympathetic and wholeheartedly served all classes of people. He had affectionate, specific and practical advice for the elderly, doctors, engineers, teachers, soldiers, officers, ethnic groups and religions everywhere. Therefore, he was always loved and closely attached to by all classes of people across the country like a father, brother, relative, uncle, and grandfather who were extremely respected in their family./.
