56 years ago, at 9:47 a.m. on September 2, 1969 (July 21, Ky Dau year), beloved Uncle Ho passed away. The Vietnamese people lost an outstanding communist soldier who fought tirelessly for the revolutionary movement all his life.

His passing leaves behind boundless grief for the entire Party, the entire people and friends all over the world. More than half a century has passed, but in the hearts of every Vietnamese person, Uncle Ho is still remembered deeply.

His life and revolutionary career are closely linked to the glorious history of the Vietnamese people. He devoted his whole life to the cause of national liberation of the Vietnamese people, contributing to the common struggle of nations for peace, independence, democracy and social progress.

The commemoration ceremony on the 56th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's death is an extremely special occasion to remember him, review his life, career, merits and great contributions to the country and homeland; at the same time, it is also an occasion to continue to remind everyone to better implement his sacred Testament.

During the 79 springs of his life, President Ho Chi Minh always reserved sacred and profound feelings for his homeland. On July 21, 1969, he sent a letter to the Party Executive Committee of Nghe An province.

In the letter, he advised: "Compatriots and comrades of the province must strive to make Nghe An quickly become one of the best provinces in the North."

During his life of revolutionary activities full of hardships and sacrifices, he always devoted all his mind and health to the revolutionary cause; but wherever he was, whatever he did, in whatever circumstances, his homeland Nghe An was always dear, always in his heart, and always filled with a deep concern and affection.

Implementing the advice of beloved Uncle Ho over the past 56 years, the Party Committee, government and people of the province have always strived to promote the strength of great solidarity, overcome all difficulties, enthusiastically participated in contributing human and material resources to the resistance war against foreign invaders, protecting and building the country, actively innovating and building the homeland and have achieved outstanding achievements in all fields.
