When faced with great challenges from natural disasters and enemies, the Vietnamese people always know how to overcome them with the spirit of solidarity, love for their fellow countrymen and strong will. Throughout thousands of years of history, from the resistance wars against foreign invaders to fierce natural disasters, the spirit of "national love and solidarity with fellow countrymen" has become a source of strength to help the country stand firm through all hardships and challenges.
KIt is not necessary to have fierce battles to see the passionate patriotism, but even in daily life, this spirit is always present. It appears in every small but meaningful action, when farmers help each other with the harvest, when the community donates to support the countryside damaged by natural disasters. That is the invisible but strong thread that binds people together.
Spirit of Unity
in times of trouble
Natural disasters are always a big challenge for the Vietnamese people. Severe storms, floods and droughts not only take away property, but also threaten the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. But it is in these difficult moments that the spirit of "national love and solidarity" is aroused more strongly than ever.
Images of the recent floods in the central region are the clearest evidence of the solidarity of the Vietnamese people. When the rivers overflowed, the floodwaters submerged houses and fields, the people were not alone. From all over the country, groups of volunteers quickly organized relief. Trucks loaded with goods, from food and water to clothes and blankets, poured into the central region in torrential rains.
Charitable groups not only donate material goods, but also spend time and effort to go directly to flooded areas. In particular, the image of Chung cakes and Tet cakes being carefully wrapped, cooked and sent to the people facing difficulties in the flood, has become a symbol of love and sharing without borders.
The soldiers and rescue forces, with courage, regardless of difficulties and hardships, have been wading through the rain and floods to provide relief. They waded through mud, waded through water, and crossed raging floods to bring people to safety. The image of a soldier carrying an old man across floodwaters, or holding a trembling baby tightly on a rescue boat, has touched millions of hearts.

Sharing between people
Nationalism and patriotism are not only expressed in great acts, but also in the simplest moments. When the storm and flood pass, the whole country joins hands to overcome the consequences, from cleaning up mud to rebuilding houses and restoring daily life.
Bowls of rice and pieces of cake shared in villages isolated by floodwaters are not only food, but also feelings and faith in national unity.
There, there is no longer a gap between rich and poor, between highland and lowland, but all become part of a united block, sharing the same thread of love and brotherhood.

After the flood, when the water receded, people started cleaning up their houses, schools, and hospitals. The strong hands were not only from the local people, but also from hundreds, thousands of volunteers from all over. They came not only to help clean up, but also brought with them their hearts, sympathy, and hope for brighter days ahead.
National love, compatriotism
immortal
Looking back at history, we clearly see that the spirit of "national love and compatriotism" has always been present and spread through generations. From the resistance wars against foreign invaders, when the whole nation stood up together to protect the border, to the period of building the country in peace, solidarity and love for compatriots have always been a great source of strength, helping Vietnam overcome all difficulties and challenges.
In recent years, this spirit has not only been limited to domestic relief activities but has also spread to the overseas Vietnamese community. When our compatriots are in trouble, from all over the world, children far from home always turn to their homeland, donate, support and share the difficulties.
National love and compatriotism are not only ideals, but also realities that are evident in every act of sharing, every sympathetic look and every hand holding each other when facing difficulties. It is an invisible but strong bond that connects people with the same blood, the same culture and a glorious history.
Although natural disasters can destroy and take away property and lives, human love and national love will always be a warm flame, illuminating and guiding us through all storms. It is solidarity, love and compatriotism that have been and will always be a great source of strength for Vietnam to not only overcome difficulties, but also rise stronger after each challenge.
In times of hardship, national love and compatriotism are the most solid support, the hope and the bright future that we build together.
