In a solemn atmosphere, central and provincial leaders offered flowers and incense to express their respect and deep gratitude for the great contributions of comrade Nguyen Thi Minh Khai.

His life and revolutionary career are a shining example of the will, indomitable fighting spirit, determination and mettle of a loyal and indomitable communist soldier, who devoted his whole life to the revolutionary cause of the Party for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland and the happiness of the people.

Comrade Nguyen Thi Minh Khai's real name is Nguyen Thi Vinh (due to the pronunciation of Nghe people, some documents record it as Nguyen Thi Vinh), born on September 30, 1910, in a small civil servant family in Vinh Yen commune, Vinh town (now Vinh city), Nghe An province.

She joined the revolutionary movement early and changed her name from Nguyen Thi Vinh to Nguyen Thi Minh Khai when she was 17 years old to keep it a secret. In early 1929, with the organization's consent, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai secretly left her family to join the revolution.
