This is also an opportunity to educate the tradition of patriotism and foster national pride for today's young generation."

The Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Bo De Ward affirmed that, along with the installation of street name signs, the locality will continue to synchronously implement urban beautification solutions, maintain "Bright - green - clean - beautiful" streets, and at the same time promote propaganda work among the people about the significance of naming famous streets.

Bo De ward leaders presented flowers to congratulate the family of famous people Le Dai and Nguyen The Ruc.

Representative of the Le family, Mr. Le Chan Hung, the eldest grandson of patriot Le Dai, emotionally said: "Witnessing the name of Mr. Le Dai - a teacher, a culturalist, a patriot of the Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc movement - being honored by the name of a spacious street in the heart of Bo De ward is a great honor for the family and generations of descendants. Our family would like to express our deep gratitude to the City leaders and the government and people of Bo De ward for their attention, research, and proposal to have him listed here."

Mr. Le Chan Hung added that Mr. Le Dai (1875-1951), from Thinh Hao village, Hoan Long district (now O Cho Dua ward, Hanoi), was one of the founders and teachers at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc, was imprisoned by the French colonialists and exiled to Con Dao for 17 years. After returning, he continued to compile, translate and teach, leaving behind many valuable works, notably the translation of "Overseas Blood Letter" by Phan Boi Chau.

"The name Le Dai Street today is not only a place name, but also a cultural milestone - a profound reminder of the value of education, patriotism and national self-reliance," Mr. Hung shared.

Representative of the family of the famous Nguyen The Ruc, Mr. Nguyen Minh Hai, Chairman of the Nguyen clan council in Hanh Thien village (Ninh Binh province) emotionally said: "Mr. Nguyen The Ruc (1902 - 1938) was one of the senior communist soldiers, who studied at the Oriental University in the Soviet Union, at the same time as President Ho Chi Minh and General Secretary Tran Phu. He contributed important ideas to the ' Political Platform' in 1930 and was the leader of the revolutionary movement in Hanoi during the period 1936 - 1938. His short but dedicated life is a shining example of patriotism and revolutionary loyalty."
