That belief was affirmed when, from the darkness of slavery, the working class saw in our Party a noble platform of action, with the ultimate goal of serving the interests of the working class who were being oppressed and exploited under the shackles of colonialism and feudalism. Raising high the flag of solidarity, the Party gathered the masses and createdthe Autumn Revolution of 1945, made tens of millions of slaves stand up to make their own destiny.

The rich practice of the Vietnamese revolution over the past 90 years has proven that the correct and wise leadership of the Party is the leading factor determining all victories of our country's revolution. At the same time, through the process of leading the revolution, the more difficulties, sacrifices and losses, the more our Party is tested, tempered and constantly matures, gaining experience to become increasingly worthy of the role of comprehensive leadership of the Vietnamese revolutionary cause, worthy of the trust of the people.

And then, in the hearts of nearly 100 million Vietnamese people, our Party is filled with a sacred pride but also very close and familiar like the food we eat, the water we drink, like the air we breathe every day.. “The Party is the ripe rice crop. The countryside is filled with folk songs of storks; the Party is the bright electricity of the highlands. The red-tiled school roof, the square pond around the house; the Party is the tree with flowers in all four seasons. The colors and fragrances are cultivated by our hands; the Party is the warm sunshine of the dawn. The blue sky has birds circling leisurely. The Party is yours, mine. Its qualities are pure, its reputation is bright.”- Poet Ta Huu Yen is indeed right when he uses simple verses like rice grains and potatoes but with all his heart, to speak for the people's hearts towards the Party.

The more proud we are of the glorious Party, the more proud and grateful we are.Great President Ho Chi Minh- the founder and trainer of our Party. He is the pinnacle of morality and civilization! He is the pure embodiment of the close and close relationship between the Party and the People. The success of the Vietnamese revolutionary cause over the past 90 years is the success of the fusion of "Party's will and People's heart", in which all ideas and actions originate from the brilliant thoughts and morality of the great Teacher Ho Chi Minh.

The 93rd anniversary of the Party's birthday on February 3 is an occasion for each of us to think about the Party and be proud of the Party. Then, with the ideals of a communist, with the pioneering spirit of a Party member, each person feels the need to be responsible for making our Party increasingly cleaner and stronger, truly "clear" in the eyes of the People, with a truly "shining" reputation over time. Although we know that fighting with comrades, with ourselves to avoid falling into individualism, the desire for money and power, and to keep a clean reputation for ourselves and for the Party is always the most difficult struggle!

The Party's birthday is also an occasion to think about the painful stumbling blocks and losses that have been experienced with all the contemplation of the spirit of proactively attacking the state of degradation and degeneration of a part of cadres and party members, especially leaders; to see that, on the way forward, it is necessary to know how to listen and fight with oneself; Every thought and action of an individual must put the collective interest and the national interest first and foremost. Party cadres and members, especially those holding key leadership positions, need to know how to take self-struggle and self-cleansing as important, preserving their reputation and that of the Party like washing their face every day.
