(1) Recounting Stories of Following Uncle Ho's Five Teachings
| Story: The Model Student Minh is a fifth-grade student at a small elementary school in the countryside. From a young age, Minh has been taught by his teachers and parents about the five teachings of Uncle Ho for children: 1. Love your homeland, love your compatriots 2. Study well, work well 3. Unite well, discipline well 4. Maintain good hygiene 5. Be modest, honest, and brave He always remembers and strives to apply these teachings in his daily life. One day, on his way home from school, Minh saw an elderly lady struggling to push her bicycle across the street as it was stuck in a ditch. Without hesitation, Minh quickly ran over to help her safely get the bicycle onto the sidewalk. The elderly lady was moved and thanked Minh, praising him as a good boy. Minh just smiled and said: — "Grandma, this is what I should do! Uncle Ho taught us to love and help everyone." In class, Minh is always diligent in studying, actively participating in lessons, and helping his classmates. When he saw his friend Nam getting low grades, Minh didn't mock him but patiently helped him with his studies. Thanks to Minh's assistance, Nam made significant progress and achieved high scores in the final exam. Moreover, Minh is an exemplary class leader. He always reminds his classmates to keep the classroom clean, unite, and be kind to each other. When he saw some classmates littering, Minh gently reminded them: — “Everyone, we need to maintain good hygiene! A clean class will help us study better!” With his diligence and kind heart, Minh is loved by both his teachers and classmates. He is a shining example of following Uncle Ho's five teachings, becoming the pride of his family and school. Although still young, by following Uncle Ho's teachings, we can become valuable contributors to society. Every good deed, no matter how small, contributes to building a prosperous and civilized nation. |
| Story: Friend Nam and the Spirit of “Love Your Homeland, Love Your Compatriots” Nam is a close friend of mine. He is always the model student in class, not only diligent in studies but also enthusiastic in helping others. What impresses me most about Nam is his patriotism and spirit of unity with everyone around him. Once, a new student transferred to our class from a poor rural area. This student was quite shy, dressed simply, and often sat alone, rarely interacting with other classmates. Nam was the first to actively befriend him, inquire about him, and invite him to play together. Not stopping there, Nam even organized a book and clothing drive with other classmates to help the new student have better learning conditions. Nam's actions not only helped the new student integrate but also made the whole class realize the importance of unity and caring for each other. That is how Nam has excelled in practicing the first of Uncle Ho's five teachings: "Love your homeland, love your compatriots." |
(2) Poem
- The Poem "UNCLE HO WITH CHILDREN":
Beloved Uncle Ho of mine,
All his life for the nation, never forgetting us.
Each word of his, so sincere,
Nurtures each beautiful dream of youth.
Uncle always loves children, so forgiving,
Mid-Autumn, Uncle sends letters with love.
Wishing for good and obedient children,
Taking care to study, building a homeland.
Uncle's words like a dear moon,
Guiding my path to the future.
I vow to remember and engrave deeply,
The five teachings of Uncle Ho, always complete.
Love land, love country, steadfast,
Study well, aim high, and keep dreams intact.
I wish for a prosperous nation,
Worthy of being the descendants of beloved Uncle Ho!
- The Poem "Uncle's Picture" by Tran Dang Khoa:
In my house hangs a picture of Uncle Ho
Above it is a bright red flag
Day by day, Uncle smiles
Watching us play joyfully at home
In the yard, some chickens,
In the garden, ripe custard apples.
I seem to hear Uncle's words,
"Children, don’t wander far to play."
Growing vegetables, sweeping the kitchen, chasing chickens,
If you see American planes, remember to sit in the shelter.
(3) Throughts on the Five Teachings of Uncle Ho
The Five Teachings of Uncle Ho have become a guideline for children over generations. These teachings not only help us cultivate morality but also motivate each person to study, work, and become useful citizens for the nation.
Uncle Ho’s five teachings are profound lessons:
-
Love your homeland, love your compatriots.
-
Study well, work well.
-
Unite well, discipline well.
-
Maintain good hygiene.
-
Be modest, honest, brave.
Each teaching carries significant meaning, helping us form our character from a young age.
First, Uncle Ho teaches us to love our homeland and compatriots. Love for our homeland is expressed not only through words but also through actions: diligent study, preserving national cultural identity, and willingness to contribute to the country.
Furthermore, studying well and working well are crucial. Studying is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about training willpower and morality. We should not study superficially or temporarily but should learn actively, applying knowledge to practice. At the same time, working helps us develop a sense of responsibility, appreciate labor, and contribute to building a better society. Uncle also emphasized good unity, good discipline. In class, if we unite and help each other, we will form a strong collective. Discipline helps each person respect rules and live responsibly.
Moreover, maintaining good hygiene is an important aspect of life. If everyone is conscious of keeping the environment clean and beautiful, life will be healthier and more pleasant.
Finally, modesty, honesty, and courage are the virtues that help people perfect themselves. Modesty prevents arrogance, honesty brings love from others, and courage allows us to overcome difficulties and challenges.
Uncle Ho is a shining example of the spirit of study, labor, morality, and lifestyle. He once said: "Whether Vietnam's mountains and rivers become more beautiful and whether the Vietnamese people can stand shoulder to shoulder with powerful nations worldwide depends on the study of our children." This teaching continually reminds us to strive for building a strong and civilized nation.
For me, I always remind myself to study diligently, cultivate morality, help others, and strive to become a useful member of society. Following Uncle Ho's teachings is not only a responsibility but also a pride for every Vietnamese child.
