The people cherish a patriot

That does not mean the rest do not love their country. But the patriotism of the great personality and great soul Nguyen Phu Trong has deeply penetrated the hearts of the people.

I used to wonder about the brown, checkered coat that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong often wore through many winters. A coat that, through the television lens, still had visible signs of wear and tear. My concern was, in the 21st century, why did the country's leader still dress like that, was it necessary?

I started observing his clothes. Not only that winter coat, but also the vest, familiar and old in color, some people said he had worn it for 12 years. Then the briefcase. Especially the car he still drove, which had become a legend. I paid close attention to a familiar status line on social networks of many ordinary accounts: "cars can't stop bullets but can stop corruption".

The General Secretary’s office is also old. This room has been used by many generations of the Party’s highest leaders and it is still the same. The courtyard, the doors, the tables and chairs… are all old, even with rainwater. Only the people are new, always thinking of new things for the country, for the people, for the honor and the sacred and noble things of a human being, “The most precious thing in the world is life and the honor of living”.

My classmate who had the opportunity to meet him many times during book publications told me that when he came to present his manuscript, the guard often told him, "Don't bring any gifts, I won't accept them."

During the funeral of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, many simple daily life images of the General Secretary and his family were touching. Many people cried when they saw the mementos associated with his life, the previously unknown stories about his simple wife. Hai Duong Newspaper lived in that atmosphere. The newspaper published many images, notably a collection of photos in the photo report "The simple, touching daily life of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong". This report attracted many viewers... Stories about his simple daily life covered the press and social networks in late July and early August 2024.

Putting it all together, the only answer is Nguyen Phu Trong's simple style, a simplicity that is close to Ho Chi Minh's style as the country's leader assessed him, "an excellent student who constantly studies and follows the ideology, morality, and style of President Ho Chi Minh".

Corruption is ultimately the embezzlement of people's money. Corruption and negativity are the enemies of the people. General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is always concerned about the work of preventing corruption and negativity. At the 4th Central Conference of the 11th tenure, he burst into tears when talking about the degradation and negativity among cadres and party members. People saw him crying while speaking on television news. He must have just gone through a struggle...

The people saw, heard, felt and shared the drastic actions of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong against corruption and negativity. He advocated the establishment and headed the Central Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption (later the Central Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption and Negativity). Since then, the "burning furnace" campaign has been very popular with the people. People are happy when corrupt officials are disciplined, imprisoned... He repeatedly said the phrases "no forbidden zones", "no matter who that person is", "relentless" and the reality of the anti-corruption campaign over the past 10 years has been exactly like that. The drastic attitude hidden deep in the elegant person Nguyen Phu Trong makes others surprised!

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has made a remarkable mark in the work of Party building and rectification, especially in building the contingent of cadres and party members. He repeatedly reminded "Every party member must purify and correct himself", "Don't see a chicken as a crow", "Don't see red as ripe", "Don't be tempted by evil interests, shameless acts"... The General Secretary believes that Party building and rectification is the work of building organizations, building people, and is human work. According to the General Secretary, a cadre is someone who learns from Uncle Ho, is a "Servant of the people", and "the higher the position, the greater the prestige. Because without prestige, it is impossible to lead, persuade and gather others".

Dleave for life

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has passed away but left behind a noble example, an example of a communist and as he said, "If you are a flower, be a sunflower; if you are a bird, be a white dove; if you are a rock, be a diamond; if you are a person, be a communist!". A man who devoted himself to the Party, to the people, to the country until his last breath. Perhaps after the funeral of Uncle Ho and General Vo Nguyen Giap, people will see the emotion and grief in the hearts of the people for such a great leader.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong left behind a rich intellectual legacy. These are books, typically 14 books on many aspects of political life such as the path to socialism in Vietnam, the path of innovation, promoting the strength of great solidarity, building and developing a diplomacy with the identity of "Vietnamese bamboo", books on military policies, on the fight against corruption and negativity... It can be said that all of his passion and knowledge were poured into the pages of books.

There are many legacies he left for the country. But I think we cannot fail to mention the legacy of faith in the Party, the Fatherland and the people. The Party and the people have blended together, faith has blossomed into deep emotions, into tears of love, into national pride...

A profound assessment of a person requires historical distance. But it can be affirmed that in recent days, right now, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a passionate patriot, one of the most patriotic people!
