Before passing away, our beloved President Ho Chi Minh left the entire Party and the people a sacred will, his final written words. In this will, he expressedhis deepest wishes, determination, faith, and responsibility for the future of the Party and the nation. The Will is a testament to his noble values, wisdom, and compassion the hallmarks of an extraordinary intellect, a passionate patriot, and a great leader, and an outstanding communist soldier.
The program "The Words Left Behind" will be an emotional journey, taking us back to May 1965, when President Ho Chi Minh began writing the first lines of his "absolutely confidential" document.
The Will is a document that embodies the ideology, culture, wisdom, ethics, and noble spirit of a man whose character and willpower "brought glory to our nation, our people, and our land".
Although 55 years have passed since President Ho Chi Minh's departure, his thoughts, morals, and sacred will continue to guide and illuminate the path of our Party, people, and military, inspiring us to steadfastly carry forward the great revolutionary cause to which he dedicated his life. We are determined to carry the victorious banner of President Ho Chi Minh to its ultimate success.
For 55 years, our entire Party, people, and military have been united and faithful to the revolutionary ideals, learning from and following President Ho Chi Minh's example in ethics and ideology, and fulfilling his sacred will. President Ho Chi Minh's will, with its timeless values, continues to inspire today's young generations in Vietnam and will forever be a source of motivation for future generations to study and follow his ethical example, thoughts, and style.

The artistic documentary program "The Words Left Behind" will take place in the historic Ba Dinh Square and will be broadcast live at 8:10 PM on August 30 on VTV1 and VTV4, Vietnam Television.
In the opening lines of his will published in 1969, President Ho Chi Minh wrote: "No matter how many hardships and sacrifices our people may have to endure, we will win the complete victory over the American invaders. This is a certainty." He also wrote, "Our country will surely be unified. The people of North and South will surely be reunited under one roof."
This came true on April 30, 1975, when the South was completely liberated, our country was reunified, and the people of North and South were reunited.
