Dear delegates!

President Ho Chi Minh once emphasized: The elderly are the invaluable treasure of the nation, of the state. In compliance with his teachings, our Party and State always pay attention to and value the care of the elderly, honoring and promoting the invaluable values of the elderly to continue contributing to the country's renovation cause. Aware of the role and importance of the elderly in the local development, in recent years, the Party Committee, authorities, and the Elderly Association have regularly cared for and promoted the roles and responsibilities of the elderly in the locality. Elderly people throughout the commune have actively participated in the patriotic movement 'The higher the age, the higher the spirit, setting a bright example for the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland,' offering suggestions, dedicating efforts, setting examples in the fields of work, production, poverty reduction, education promotion, talent promotion, building learning society, building grassroots cultural life, participating in contributing opinions to build a pure and strong Party and government. With their credibility, hundreds of elderly association members have participated in reconciliation teams, people's security teams, people's inspection teams, implementing grassroots democracy regulations, directly mediating disputes within the community, detecting wrongdoers, educating and guiding misguided individuals... The care and promotion of the role of the elderly have been actively directed and implemented by the Party Committee, authorities, Fronts, political-social organizations, and mass organizations, achieving results on many aspects.

Finally, I would like to once again wish all the elderly, both men and women, abundant health, shining examples for their descendants. Wishing the elders 'Prosperity like the eastern sea - Longevity as enduring as the mountains.'

2. Speech Wishing Longevity to Seniors #3

Respected Parents, esteemed guests, and dear attendees of today's longevity celebration.

The timeline flows endlessly along the years of life, from the time we were born into the loving embrace of our parents to the present day where we stand as mature individuals.

On this occasion of celebrating our parents' longevity, allow us to reminisce about the joys and sorrows, the happiness and challenges in the lives of our beloved parents - the noble souls who gave us life. Dear Mother, dear Father of ours! There are many wonders in the world, but the most beautiful wonder remains the heart of a mother and the kindness of a father. In life, amidst numerous emotions, the most beautiful and enduring is the love of our parents. Though we can count the sands, we cannot count the depth of a mother's heart. Though we can measure the early and late hours, we cannot measure the love of a kind mother. Mother and Father instill in us the belief to stride confidently into life, amidst a myriad of difficulties, they provide us with warmth and protection throughout the passage of time. It seems that throughout their lives, parents only live for their children, worrying and caring for them. Mothers may leave early in the morning and return at noon, enduring the sun and rain or traversing forests and streams. Mothers toil tirelessly month after month, year after year, experiencing every pain and hardship. As long as parents see their children carefree and happy, that alone fulfills their deepest desires.

Indeed: 'Traveling throughout the world, no one is as good as a mother. Bearing the burdens of life, no one suffers as much as a father.' To express our affection for our parents on this joyful day of longevity, we offer a poem to express our heartfelt gratitude to our parents.

Respected Elders, Honorable Guests,

Since childhood, Vietnamese children have been taught to respect their parents, grandparents, and be filial to them. 'Respect the elderly, wish them longevity,' 'Wisdom comes with age,' 'Seek advice from the old, seek wisdom from the young'... and many other teachings.

All of these express respect, gratitude, love, and responsibility towards the elderly. Every Vietnamese person knows and takes pride in the Dien Hong Conference, where the determined will of the elders was forged, propagated, and nurtured among the people of Dai Viet to thwart the ambitions of external powers over Asian and European lands, overcoming numerous failures. Until now, the name Dien Hong is still found in every thought and in many place names across Vietnam.

Speaking of the history of national liberation and reunification in the 20th century, we never forget the heroic Vietnamese mothers - of course, alongside the heroic mothers, there were many heroic fathers - who sacrificed and dedicated their most precious possessions for national independence and socialism. From our textbooks, we remember the determined Mothers who stayed behind to support the resistance, for the soldiers, with the determination 'If the mother dies alone, so be it, for the children to eliminate all Western invaders'; Many know of the venerable heroes like Pi Nang Tac who turned seemingly footless rocks into ones with legs, turned seemingly wingless trees into ones with wings to besiege and annihilate invading forces. Everyone remembers Mother Suot, over 60 years old still 'managing the boat alone'; the elderly heroes of Thanh Hoa 'On this land, there are old folks shooting down planes' and many other elderly role models who silently contributed, shared, and shed blood and flesh for victory, for reunification. Recently, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of national reunification, those legendary liberation soldiers, guerrillas, youth volunteers, and labor heroes of the past, after the victory, returned to the ordinary, sometimes difficult, life, working hard. Many grandparents, many uncles and aunts have reached 'rare old age' but still continue to set examples in life, in many movements to build and protect the homeland, keeping the traditional flame burning bright... just as beloved Uncle Ho said 'Though old in age, high in spirit, fighting against America, rescuing the nation, who falls short?'; 'Old in age but not in spirit, contributing to the prosperity of the nation.'

With their contributions, merits for the people, for the country, for their descendants, the Elders, the Uncles and Aunts totally deserve to live in peace and enjoy old age, but many Elders, many Uncles and Aunts still do not hesitate to 'carry the household, bear the burden' with all their enthusiasm, understanding, experience, and most importantly, a pure heart, without a hint of personal gain, making many younger, healthier people feel so small.

Respected Elders, Honorable Guests

If possible, I would also like to have a word with those children, those grandchildren who, due to the struggle for livelihood; due to difficult circumstances that cannot be spoken of because 'each family has its own situation,' have had thoughts, words, actions that have troubled their grandparents, parents, take a moment to reflect, to correct, to make amends. Because one day there will be no opportunity to do so, and also because one day we will also have children, grandchildren, we will grow old... and we will desire the things that our grandparents, parents desire.

Wishing the Elders, the Uncles and Aunts a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Wishing the delegates, the comrades good health and success.

Thank you very much.

A father's work is like Mount Thai Son

A mother's virtue flows like water from a source

Respect for parents completes the circle of filial piety...

Today is the day... celebrating my father's 85th birthday, we offer fresh pink flowers from the heart, we pray for our parents to live a happy life. Parents are like the sun always shining, illuminating our paths. Grateful for the parental kindness, we engrave it for life, father is the towering Mount Thai Son sheltering our lives, nurturing us into decent human beings, mother is the sweet and cool stream within, we joyfully wish our parents a happy and long life, the happiness of our family with obedient and loving grandchildren, knowing countless affection and family love, mother and father shine brightly like a long river and vast sea, we respect mother and father wholeheartedly, we wish for their blessings and peace, like tall mountains... celebrating the longevity of parents is an endless joy... from our hearts with countless respectful words, we humbly offer our parents this gathering

What happiness could surpass seeing our parents still smiling... let us bow our heads in gratitude for the high virtues of our beloved parents. Going through the world, no one is better than mother, bearing the burdens of life, no one suffers more than father... oh! These deeply sincere words, engraved in our hearts forever... mother is the shimmering golden moon, shining on foolish children along countless paths, mother is the river, mother is the song, mother is the milk flowing for our souls to bathe in coolness... mother's love is as vast as the water in the source... father is the majestic Mount Thai Son, a sturdy support guiding our steps. Living harmoniously, generously compassionate. Father's work, mother's virtue is immeasurable. We are very happy in the nurturing arms and the noble, sacred affection... we respectfully wish for our parents to be forever young...

Even if we can count the grains of sand in the river, we cannot count the love of mother and father, even if we can measure near and far, but how can we measure the boundless love of the two creators... mother and father have never hesitated for us... going through life without fully understanding the hardships of mother, even if we turn all the mountains and rivers into gold, we cannot repay father's work. Now the garden father planted has borne fruit, the mother's field has yielded grains. The obedient children and grandchildren have grown up, coming together to joyfully wish longevity to parents, grandparents,

DEAR MOTHER! DEAR FATHER!...

We are proud to see our parents happy, healthy. Seventy-seven springs, dear mother always looks young, eighty years old, father's life still noble. Sharing with life the fragrant white grains, with one heart and love. We respectfully wish for our parents to be as blessed as the Eastern Sea and as long-lived as the majestic Mount Thai Son in life. Father's work, mother's virtue is lofty, we will remember forever, never forget, when spring comes, knowing countless affection, celebrating father, respecting mother, wishing for longevity, peace, and happiness.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Every person born throughout eternity hopes to have: Wealth, Honor, Longevity, Health, and Peace. Among them, Longevity is the hardest to grasp and also the most desired. Today, Mom and Dad have crossed the age that the poet Do Phu called 'rare in ancient times'. That is the blessing of our family. We are very happy that until now, we are still receiving your love, care, and guidance through every step of our growth. And even happier, on the occasion of the Great Vu Lan Festival, we are still adorned with roses on our chests.

Dear Mom and Dad, the virtue of giving birth and nurturing from you is immense. Since the womb, we have been nurtured from the sweet milk, the lullabies of Mom, and the embrace of Dad...

'Father's virtue is like towering mountains,

Mother's love is like sparkling water in the flowing stream.

High mountains and vast seas,

Your love holds steadfast in our hearts.'

We have grown up to be who we are today thanks to the nurturing and birth-giving virtue of Mom and Dad. Now, as parents ourselves, we understand even more the merits of Mom and Dad.

'You only know how high the mountain is when you climb it,

You only understand the labor of your mother and teacher when you raise children.'

Dad had to toil day and night, selling his face to the land, selling his back to the sky, plowing deep and hoeing hard to produce each grain of rice to nurture us into adulthood. Mom had to go early and come home late, through Dong Ba market from cold winter nights to scorching summer days. Thanks to the money Mom and Dad earned, we were able to be nurtured and grow up to who we are today. We are extremely grateful! We have also experienced both joy and hardship. In whatever circumstances, Mom and Dad always sacrificed for us, giving us everything. And it can be said that Mom and Dad's entire lives were dedicated to us, from the meager meal to the education that made us into people. We are very proud to be your children. In the family, Dad is the exemplary father, and outside society, in whatever capacity, Dad fulfills his responsibilities with all his dedication. With friends, Dad lives wholeheartedly with affection.

On this joyous day, we are also very proud to be your children, Mom. For us, Mom's childhood was truly bitter and arduous. 17 years old! Mom had to work as a daughter-in-law before having the chance to love... 56 years as a dutiful and virtuous wife, taking care of children properly, nurturing them into good people, Mom endured hardship and showed love. Mom is a shining example for us to learn from! Until this moment, Mom and Dad have not had a single day of happiness, yet even in old age, you still worry and watch over us... Your entire life has been dedicated to children and grandchildren, never living for yourselves, always sacrificing for others. For us, you are the greatest in the world. Mom and Dad's only treasure is not material possessions, but the 9 siblings of us. That is the most precious asset of Mom and Dad. Today, to express the gratitude of us children and grandchildren to you, we have organized this ceremony, a small part to repay Mom and Dad's great kindness. We wish Mom and Dad a long and healthy life, to continue witnessing the growth of us and of the future generations. We wish Mom and Dad a hundred years of old age, to live life with us.'

'Dear Mom and Dad,

We are born from a common root,

You've given us your entire lives,

Love and support have been our refuge,

There's nothing more precious than having you, Dad.'

Indeed, from the noblest of saints to the most ordinary person, none exists without their parents. Today, celebrating Dad's longevity, we always remember Mom, who departed from us early when we were not yet mature. Indeed, Mom and Dad shared a part of their own flesh and blood to create each of us.

If not for the grace of heaven, none of us would be present in this world. Yet perhaps in our entire lives, we have never once paused to contemplate, to truly gaze upon the gentle faces of Mom and Dad, and to share even a fraction of their hardships:

'Mom and Dad, as vast as the Earth and sky,

You've raised us tirelessly without sigh,

Embracing us with arms wide for youth,

Guiding us through life's endless truth,

Remembering the day we first opened our eyes,

You, Mom and Dad, sang lullabies,

The sky in our eyes grew bluer,

The hair of Mom and Dad turned silver.'

Furthermore, Mom and Dad not only gave us this physical form, but also endured countless years of hardship, every drop of their tears and sweat, to nourish us with their loving milk. Mom and Dad never calculated, never frowned, never hated or begrudged; we were born from Mom's womb, we changed Dad's love. No one loves us more than Mom and Dad.

The love that Mom and Dad have for us is the most sacred, no other emotion in this world can compare. Therefore, gratitude and repayment, are not only the duty of each child but also a great blessing. And this great blessing, today in this atmosphere of love and warmth, we fully and deeply feel that sacred love.

Dad is the beginning of roots, ideals, and future.

Mom is the beginning of life, love, and happiness.

To evoke the deep gratitude for the birth and nurturing of Dad, which today we express in countless ways. We only hope to erase the wrinkles on Dad's forehead and bring happiness as Dad ages gracefully.
