Young people in the capital were moved to see off General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

Being able to support the people during the State Funeral of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a source of pride for many young people. As soon as she received the notice recruiting volunteers to serve the State Funeral, Dang Thuy Hang, a student at the Vietnam Youth Academy, quickly registered and took a night bus from Nam Dinh to Hanoi to be in time for work on July 25.

“When I heard the news of the General Secretary’s death, I was very moved and hoped to be able to contribute a small part to his funeral. The weather in Hanoi is quite harsh at this time, but I do not feel tired. My heart and that of thousands of young people here always turn to him.”

“Among many leaders, I am always impressed with the General Secretary because of his silver hair, white glasses, his hand always holding a pen and the two words 'people' he always mentions. At an age when he should be resting after a life of hard work, the General Secretary still works day and night until the last minute in his hospital bed," shared Pham Gia Han, a student at Newton Inter-level Secondary and High School.

Although still young, Gia Han promises to always try to study and contribute more to her family and country as General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong sincerely sent to the young generation of Vietnam.

By 1 p.m. on July 26, the funeral of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong at the National Funeral Home had ended with 136,886 people coming to pay their respects. Many young people, not afraid of the distance, came from all over the country to see General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong off for the last time.

They are a new generation, the future owners of the country, with a spirit of integration and development, but do not forget to turn to the Fatherland and ancestors, maintaining and promoting the tradition of "remembering the source of water when drinking".
