Standing in Dong Dang – the borderland of the nation, Chairman Nguyen Trung Kien emphasized that from this land, generations of students nurture dreams of reaching far, while overseas Vietnamese worldwide always look towards their homeland with affection and responsibility. This connection creates a persistent flow of patriotism, linking Vietnamese people inside and outside the country. In this flow, teachers play a particularly important role. They not only impart knowledge but also foster love for the homeland and a sense of responsibility in students, ensuring that wherever they go, they always remember their national roots.

From this foundation, many Vietnamese have grown, reached out to the world, and returned to contribute to the country. For the students of Dong Dang Primary School, Nguyen Trung Kien affirmed that each of them is part of this connection journey. Through simple acts like studying hard, practicing, loving friends, and respecting teachers, they are gradually preparing for the future. He expressed confidence that in the future, wherever they study and work, they will always carry their homeland in their hearts. (Photo: Thanh Long)
