Many emotional states of respect, admiration, and mourning for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong were shared on the personal Facebook and Zalo pages of cadres, party members, and people. Nghe An Newspaper recorded some of the sentiments of cadres, party members, and people of Nghe An toward General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, whom many people from President Ho Chi Minh's hometown call General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong the second Uncle Ho.

I was fortunate to meet, shake hands and take a souvenir photo with Uncle Nguyen Phu Trong at the 11th National Women's Congress, term 2012 - 2017; I deeply felt for Uncle - a simple, sincere, warm-hearted person. Over the past years, with the "steering" role of Uncle Nguyen Phu Trong, the work of Party building and rectification has been comprehensively and synchronously deployed in the fields of political ideology, cadre organization, inspection, supervision and Party discipline enforcement; especially the "war" against corruption; contributing to making our Party clean, truly ethical and civilized; enhancing the people's trust in the Party.

Thinking of Uncle Ho, I always have respect - a leader with profound theoretical thinking, profound knowledge with rich practice, a working style close to the grassroots, close to compatriots and comrades, always showing a high sense of responsibility, a serious attitude with consistent and thorough guiding viewpoints, "words go with actions", "speak frankly, speak honestly, do truly, work methodically, cautiously, firmly". Scientific and decisive working methods; upholding principles, promoting democracy, respecting and listening to the opinions of cadres, party members and people; trusted and loved by cadres, party members and people, respected and highly appreciated by international friends.

I hope that Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong's thoughts and concerns on Party building and rectification, especially the work of preventing and combating corruption, will continue to be implemented by the Party at all levels more resolutely and effectively, for the goal of making the Party strong, worthy of the name "Our Party".

In my opinion, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a person with a pure, noble, and intelligent personality; a communist soldier who has devoted his whole life to the Party's revolutionary cause; an exemplary and talented leader; a great "firelighter" and "furnace-maker" of the entire nation... His values ​​of ideology in living, working, and contributing have greatly contributed to enriching the nation's precious cultural heritage in the 21st century and will forever last with the nation; at the same time, he is a "torch" that continues to illuminate the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party in today's era and in me.

As an ethnic minority and currently working in ethnic minority areas, I always feel the close attention of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong for ethnic minority areas. In the past terms, the General Secretary, together with the Party and the State, has paid attention to building the great solidarity bloc of ethnic groups, taking care of the all-sided development of ethnic minority areas with many major policies and decisions, creating conditions for ethnic minority areas to innovate and develop. In particular, the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development of Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas being implemented will contribute to promoting the progress of all aspects of ethnic minority areas, contributing to shortening the development gap between regions in the coming time.

Ethnic minorities always agree, unite, and have absolute trust in the "career" that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong left for the entire Party and people to continue to strive to rise up with the spirit of self-reliance and self-strengthening with the support and companionship of the Party and State.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong - The one who lit the flame of endless belief in the work of Party building and rectification in general and in the hearts of each cadre and party member in particular. Since the promulgation of the 4th Central Resolution (11th tenure) and the resolutions, directives and regulations of the Party after that, the work of Party building from the Central to the grassroots has been breathed new life. In every word and action of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, there is a typical "living" example of "saying goes hand in hand with doing", of personality and honor associated with human ego, which has had a special influence and influence on cadres, party members and people across the country. Each cadre and party member feels: Party building and rectification is not a distant word, but from concrete actions, no matter how small, do it with a sense of responsibility, do not lose your prestige and honor for personal gain.

The General Secretary's decisions, thoughts, ethics and style have revived the confidence and inner strength of cadres and party members in the work of building and rectifying the Party at all levels, especially at the grassroots level; and have had a profound impact on the awareness and behavior of cadres, party members and the people. Now, he has passed away, but his heartbeat will forever remain. That spirit and enthusiasm will continue to thrive in generations today and tomorrow.

The General Secretary is not only a talented leader, a true communist, but also a model of a simple, close, and profound leadership style, always close to the masses, especially always placing absolute trust in the youth force - the vanguard force in building a prosperous and happy country.

At the 10th National Congress of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the General Secretary said: “We all know that youth is a very important part of society, representing the strength of the nation. Only when the youth is strong can the nation be strong; in the strength of the nation there is the strength of the youth.”

With gratitude and respect for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and as a cadre of the Youth Union, I clearly see my responsibility to continue to convey his thoughts and instructions on youth to spread among the young generation the spirit of learning, training, following the pure and simple example, especially the life philosophy of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong: “The most precious thing for a human being is life and the honor of living. Because a person only lives once; we must live so as not to feel pain or regret for the years of living in vain, living in vain; so as not to be ashamed of mean and cowardly deeds, being despised by everyone; so that when we close our eyes, we can be proud that: All my life, all my strength, I have devoted to the most noble cause in the world - the cause of fighting for national liberation, human liberation, bringing happiness to the people”.

Hearing the news that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has left this world to return to the world of the virtuous, I personally share the same feelings as the entire Party and the entire people: deep sorrow and respect. Throughout his life, the General Secretary has always followed the ideology, morality, and style of Ho Chi Minh: "diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality and selflessness". He was both visionary and compassionate; always close to the people, concerned about their lives. He is the "soul" of the Party; an example of a lifelong commitment to the country and the people.

I always remember the General Secretary's words: "Never before has our country had such a foundation, position and potential as it does today." During his tenure as General Secretary, he was always determined to fight against degeneration, self-evolution and self-transformation within the Party. In order for the ideology and determination of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong to continue to be implemented more thoroughly and effectively, each Party organization, cadre and Party member needs to study and follow the example of the General Secretary "for the country, for the people"; build solidarity within the Party, solidarity within the political system, and solidarity across society to continue to build and develop a strong and prosperous Vietnam.
