The August Revolution was successful. On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi, President Ho Chi Minh solemnly read the Declaration of Independence, declaring to all the people and the world the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam). The Declaration strongly expressed the will and aspiration of the Vietnamese people "Rather sacrifice everything than lose the country, never become slaves". After 79 years, the Declaration of Independence is still deeply relevant both domestically and internationally.
Every time the land and sky enter autumn, all Vietnamese people are filled with both intense and passionate emotions about the image of President Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of Independence at the historic Ba Dinh Square, just like the overflowing feelings that musician Vu Thanh conveyed at that moment in the song "Hanoi in Autumn" that has lasted through the years.
Since the day the Declaration of Independence was born, the country's position has changed a lot, the historical oath "The entire Vietnamese people are determined to devote all their spirit and strength, their lives and property to maintain that freedom and independence" has always illuminated the hearts and minds of patriotic Vietnamese people in all regions of the country and Vietnamese people living abroad. The thoughts of President Ho Chi Minh in the Declaration of Independence have become a great spiritual strength of the entire nation, helping the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people overcome all difficulties, gain great achievements in the struggle for national unification, socio-economic development and international integration. Years will pass, but the spirit of the Declaration of Independence that gave birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam will always live forever in the hearts of generations of Vietnamese people, not only because of its historical and legal value but also because of its noble humanistic value of human rights, the right of the nation to live in independence and freedom as President Ho Chi Minh cherished and devoted his whole life to realizing.
