These days, the people of the whole country deeply mourn the passing of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong - an exceptionally outstanding leader of our Party, who devoted his entire life to the revolutionary cause, serving the Fatherland and the people until his last moment. General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has passed away, but his life and career will always be a shining example for generations of cadres, party members and people to learn from and follow.

During his lifetime, the General Secretary had many instructions and sayings drawn from his heart, very profound about the determination and determination of the Party to fight corruption and negativity; about the morality of communists and about the self-respect and integrity of cadres and party members. At many meetings and conferences, the General Secretary consistently held the view: "Every party member must purify and correct himself". The General Secretary repeatedly reminded cadres and party members: "Do not be tempted by evil interests and shameless acts".

At the National Cultural Conference on November 24, 2021, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong left a very profound saying. That is, “A cultured person, a cultured family, a cultured nation; a cultured lifestyle, a cultured way of life, a cultured way of behaving... Anything bad, mean, despicable, illegal, despicable... is uncultured, uncultured, anti-cultural. Human happiness is not only about having a lot of money, a lot of property, eating well, dressing well, but also about the richness of the soul, living in love and compassion, reason and justice”.

At the National Conference of Internal Affairs Agencies to implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress on September 15, 2021, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong continued to remind cadres and party members to constantly train themselves, live with good purposes and meanings, stay away from and stand firm against "sugar-coated bullets", saying: "We only live once, we must live meaningfully, so as not to regret and feel sorry for mean, cowardly, and shameless actions; what's the point of having a lot of money, you can't take it with you when you die. Honor is the most sacred and noble thing".

Along with the Party's high determination, the example and will of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong played a particularly important role in the work of Party building and rectification; creating the momentum and spirit of "support from the front and the back, unanimity from top to bottom, and smooth communication" in the fight against corruption and negativity over the past decade.

These days, on mass media and social networks, the sayings of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong about ethics, qualifications of cadres, party members and about the goals and ideals of a person's life are repeated and shared by many people with infinite respect and regret. Many stories and sentiments of teachers, classmates, colleagues, comrades, and people close to the General Secretary further demonstrate a lifelong exemplary personality of diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality and selflessness. The sentiments and respect of the international community for Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong further affirm his stature, personal prestige, and great contributions to the development and strengthening of the position of the Party and the country in the international arena...

Respecting and admiring the personality and dedication of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, each cadre and party member needs to "turn pain into action", self-reflect, self-correct, self-respect, engrave in mind and follow his example for the country and the people; unite, unite, join hands and build our Party to be increasingly clean and strong.

People of all walks of life believe that under the leadership of the Party and the management of the State, continuing and promoting the contributions of the General Secretary, the country and people of Vietnam will maintain and continuously enhance its "foundation, potential, position and international prestige".
