Commencing Ho Chi Minh's Declaration of Independence

1. Opening Number 1:

The declaration of independence by President Ho Chi Minh is a significant historical document, carrying profound political and historical implications. It not only affirms independence and declares to the world the birth of the democratic republic of Vietnam, cheering on the global movement for the liberation of nations, but also serves as a model of eloquence, crystallizing the talent, intellect, and vision of President Ho Chi Minh. This document also marks a new development in the art of political discourse in modern Vietnamese literature.

2. Opening Number 2:

With sharp and persuasive arguments, a powerful tone, and the fervor of President Ho Chi Minh, the Declaration of Independence not only affirms the independence and sovereignty of young Vietnam but also eloquently condemns the injustices of French colonialism. Cleverly using 'using the enemy's stick to hit their back' and drawing on the principles of human rights and civil rights, Uncle Ho exposes the unjust actions, going against the principles established by our ancestors. In the Declaration, he emphatically asserts that the Vietnamese people will do everything to protect their independence, using the power of justice and unity to resist the sinister invasion plots of the enemy.

3. Opening Number 3:

The successful August Revolution ushered in a new era for the nation, a era of freedom without the shackles of feudalism, marking the strong belief and will of self-determination of the Vietnamese army and people. In the victorious atmosphere, on August 26, 1945, at 48 Hang Ngang Street, President Ho Chi Minh, on behalf of the Central Party, drafted the Declaration of Independence. On September 2, at Ba Dinh Square, before millions of Vietnamese people, Uncle Ho read the declaration giving birth to the democratic republic of Vietnam. The Declaration of Independence is the crystallization of the era's wisdom, the inevitable result of the efforts of the entire army, the entire people, and the heroic Vietnamese nation.

4. Opening Number 4:

In the history of our nation, there has been more than one proclamation affirming the sovereignty and independence of Vietnam resonating across the ages. From the divine poem 'Nam Quoc son ha nam de cu/ Naturally determining fate in the book of heaven' by Li Thuong Kiet to 'From Trieu, Dinh, Ly, Tran building generations of independence/ Alongside Han, Tang, Song, Yuan each proclaiming an empire in their own direction' in the Binh Ngo Dai Cao by Nguyen Trai. On September 2, 1945, the declaration of independence echoed once again across mountains and rivers through President Ho Chi Minh's 'Declaration of Independence.' This was also the first time the declaration was proclaimed before millions of compatriots, before international friends worldwide, about a resilient and fought-for independence protected by the determination and sacrifices of the Vietnamese people. The declaration also put forth sharp arguments condemning the crimes of the enemy, fervently and powerfully affirming the strength and determination to protect the independence of the Vietnamese people.
