In her speech looking back on the 130 years to Ho’s birthday, DTU university Union Vice-Secretary Thi Tuyet said: “When Uncle Ho was still alive, he was Chairman of the Nation and supreme leader of the Party, but every May 19, on his birthday, he refused to celebrate and instructed local and state authorities not to hold parties, because he did not want to squander people’s time and money during wartime, while their lives were still full of peril and hardship. Every year, on his birthday, we all sense his supreme simplicity and humility, with is still a valuable reminder for us all in any period of our history. We can look back at his shining example of revolutionary morals and learn from his exemplary virtues. By launching the “Vietnamese Youth Learning and Working Following Ho Chi Minh’s Moral Example” campaign, implemented by the Central Union, young people all over the country, particularly at DTU, can perfect their morals and lifestyles with youthful determination to contribute to our national development.”
On Uncle Ho’s 130th birthday, the DTU University Union implemented the “Pride of the Youth in Uncle Ho’s Generation” political movement, launched by the Danang Youth Union. An online multiple-choice questionnaire on two specific topics about the life and revolutionary career of Chairman Ho Chi Minh was provided for the 2020 Union cadre, members and young people to complete and the contest attracted 5,000 DTU Union members and students.
