Leaders of Nghe An province offer flowers and incense to commemorate the 93rd anniversary of Nghe Tinh Soviet Day (September 12, 1930 - September 12, 2023)

Attending the ceremony were comrades: Thai Thanh Quy - Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Nguyen Van Thong - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Hoang Nghia Hieu - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Also attending were comrades in the Provincial Party Standing Committee; Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council and People's Committee; leaders of the Provincial Party Office and People's Committee; and leaders of provincial-level socio-political organizations.

The Nghe Tinh Soviet 1930 - 1931 was a brilliant milestone in the history of the Vietnamese revolution in the 20th century under the leadership of the Party, becoming a heroic, loyal and indomitable symbol of the people of Nghe An homeland.

In Nghe An, under the leadership of the Central Region Party Committee, directly by the Vinh - Ben Thuy Provincial Party Committee and Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, in harmony with the struggle movement of the people of the whole country, workers and farmers in the province rose up strongly in both urban and rural areas.

On the morning of September 12, 1930, about 8,000 farmers from three communes: Phu Long, Thong Lang (Hung Nguyen) and Nam Kim (Nam Dan) under the leadership of the Provincial Committee, in neat ranks, equipped with sticks, spears, ropes, raising red flags of hammer and sickle marched to Yen Xuan station to denounce the crimes of French colonialism and feudalism of the Southern Dynasty, calling on the masses to follow the Communist Party. The slogans resounded throughout the area.

When the provincial delegation was advancing to Hung Nguyen district capital, just reaching Thai Lao, the French colonialists dropped bombs, killing 217 people and injuring 125 others. This brutal terrorist attack shocked public opinion domestically and internationally.

The demonstration on September 12, 1930, though bloodily suppressed, demonstrated the great power of the people's uprising and went down in history as an immortal epic. September 12 is chosen every year as the anniversary of the Nghe Tinh Soviet.

The Nghe Tinh Soviet is a milestone marking the first time that our Party, a revolutionary party, though still very young, has demonstrated its role, mettle, prestige, fighting power and great ability in leading, uniting and mobilizing the masses. The flame of the Nghe Tinh Soviet has become a sacred flame, illuminating and encouraging our Party and our People to overcome all difficulties and challenges, fight for national independence, unify the country, and steadily advance towards Socialism.

At the Memorial House of the Soviet martyrs of Nghe Tinh (1930-1931) built in the premises of the Soviet Museum of Nghe Tinh (Vinh City) and the Soviet Relic Site of Nghe Tinh (Hung Nguyen District), the delegation of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province respectfully offered flowers, incense, and observed a moment of silence to remember and deeply express gratitude for the great contributions of the martyrs in the revolutionary movement of 1930-1931.

In the sacred moment, the delegation of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province vowed to continue to promote the spirit of Nghe Tinh Soviet, successfully carry out the renovation and integration process, and build the beloved homeland of Uncle Ho to soon become a prosperous province as he always wished; worthy of the noble sacrifice of our predecessors, the heroic martyrs of Nghe Tinh Soviet, and worthy of the title of Red Nghe Tinh.
