NThese days, everywhere in our country Vietnam, in the hearts of millions of Vietnamese people, there is joy and a surge of sacred and proud emotions. Eighty years have passed since the historic Autumn of 1945, the success of the August Revolution, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, opening an era of independence and freedom for the Vietnamese people.

For the homeland of Nghe An - a land rich in revolutionary tradition, where the strong will and indomitable spirit were nurtured, that momentous event became a great source of encouragement, adding strength for the Party Committee and the people of the whole province to firmly step on the path of building and defending the Fatherland, and developing the homeland.

Looking back over the 80-year journey, Nghe An has affirmed its position as one of the leading localities in the revolutionary cause. From the early years of seizing power with the indomitable spirit of people everywhere such as Thanh Thuy (Nam Dan), Quynh Luu district, Dien Chau, Thai Hoa, Vinh city... seizing the opportunity to seize power for the people, to the years of resistance against colonialism and imperialism; tens of thousands of Nghe An youths enthusiastically went to battle, dedicating their youth and blood for national independence and national unification. The feats, heroic examples of martyrs, wounded soldiers, Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, red addresses such as milestone 0, Ben Thuy, Truong Bon, Cam bridge in Nghe An homeland are forever a source of pride, a "priceless spiritual asset" that today's generations continue to inherit and promote.

In the process of innovation, integration and development, with high determination, great efforts, solidarity and creativity of the entire political system and the consensus of the people and businesses, Nghe An has achieved many outstanding achievements. In 2024, the province's GRDP growth rate reached over 9%, among the highest in the country. The economic structure shifted positively with industry - construction increasing by more than 13%, services increasing by nearly 8%. State budget revenue reached more than 25,500 billion VND, far exceeding the estimate, in which revenue from the industry - service sector, export and import increased sharply. In particular, foreign investment attraction reached nearly 1.7 billion USD, bringing Nghe An to the TOP 10 of the country in attracting FDI for 3 consecutive years.

High-tech agriculture continues to affirm its position with concentrated production areas in Nghia Dan, Nam Dan, Thanh Chuong. The new rural construction movement has been promoted, contributing to raising the average income of farmers to more than 6 million VND/person/month, the poverty rate has decreased to below 3%.

Along with economic development, the fields of culture - society - education - health have all made many strides. Nghe An continues to maintain its role as the "cradle" of training high-quality human resources for the region, with a system of universities, colleges, and large hospitals located in the area. The quality of education and training has continuously reaped golden harvests in both international, regional, and national excellent student achievements and in general quality.

The 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2nd this year is an opportunity for every Nghe An citizen to review the tradition, to be more proud and responsible. It is also a reminder for today's generation: We must inherit, promote and make more glorious the achievements that previous generations shed blood and sacrificed to gain. Not only continue writing the story of peace, today's generation must also continue writing the achievements, the golden pages of history of the nation, so that by the historical milestone of 100 years of the country's founding in 2045, our country can stand shoulder to shoulder with the great powers and friends of the five continents.
