Learning about Ho Chi Minh's moral ideology and style through his literature, art, and journalism.

President Ho Chi Minh dedicated his entire life to the independence of the nation, the freedom and happiness of the Vietnamese people, and contributed to the common struggle of nations around the world for peace, national independence, democracy, and social progress. An outstanding revolutionary, President Ho Chi Minh was also a renowned writer, poet, and journalist. In 1990, UNESCO, on behalf of the international community, honored President Ho Chi Minh as a national liberation hero and outstanding cultural figure of Vietnam.

For nearly three continuous hours, Professor Ha Minh Duc exchanged and shared with students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities about the life and literary, artistic, and journalistic career of Ho Chi Minh, thereby summarizing Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style, and lessons for the younger generation.

From the early 1920s, President Ho Chi Minh clearly recognized the importance of revolutionary literature, art, and journalism, and throughout his life, he consistently used journalism as a sharp weapon against colonialism and feudalism, and an effective means of propagating revolutionary ideas.

He is the author of over 250 poems, the most notable of which is the collectionPrison DiaryComprising 133 articles written in Chinese characters, he was also the author of dozens of short stories. Ho Chi Minh wrote hundreds of valuable political essays and literary pieces, including outstanding works such as:Declaration of Independence, Call to Arms for National Resistance, TestamentIn addition, he founded many newspapers such as...People who suffer together,Adolescent,Vietnam is independent....and has been involved in journalism continuously throughout his life.

Ho Chi Minh always highly valued the role of the people in the historical process and in the revolutionary cause. He affirmed the role and mission of the people in his revolutionary cause. "A hundred times easier without the people, but a thousand times harder, with the people, it can be accomplished." His entire life was dedicated to the people. Even in the 1920s, leader Nguyen Ai Quoc (Ho Chi Minh) simply and concisely stated: "Freedom for my compatriots, independence for my homeland, that is all I want, that is all I understand."

Ho Chi Minh's ideology of respecting the people, promoting democracy, and caring for the people's lives is reflected in the very purpose of literature and journalism. He instructed: For whom do we write? What is the purpose of writing? What should we write and how should we write? These are interconnected steps that serve as guiding principles for journalism and literary creation.

President Ho Chi Minh's example of devotion to the people, love, and respect for the nation, embodies the moral character and style of a communist and a leading and managing official. His patriotic ideology, love for the people, respect for the people, and lifelong dedication to the revolution and the people, coupled with his genuine, simple, and humble lifestyle, serves as a shining moral example for us to emulate. This is also the core content that the Central Propaganda Department has outlined for 2019: "Building a sense of respect for the people, promoting democracy, and caring for the people's lives according to the thoughts, ethics, and style of Ho Chi Minh."
