40 years after wars: Tolerance of the Motherland
10/5/15
40 years after wars, the
country is unified, but the issue of reconciliation between the country and
Vietnamese emigrants to America
still remain trouble. Based on human culture of our tradition, tolerance and
the trend of peace, global cooperation, skipping the past hatred and uniting
all social elements are objective and essential requirements.
Ambassador Nguyen Khac
Huynh, a senior diplomat, former member of the Vietnam
delegation for the Paris peace agreement 1973
told that when he anticipated a conference on the Vietnam war at the university of Brown
in the United States,
the organization board conducted a exchange meeting with professors and nearly
1,000 students. One student asked why Vietnam
has won the war, liberated the south of Vietnam and unifed the country,
still millions of Vietnamese have left the country. The ambassador answered
that the exodus of millions of Vietnamese people was a historical fact. There
are many reasons for that. First, during the war, the U.S. officials and the Saigon administrations
and media carried out many propaganda campaigns which claimed that there would
be a bloodshed if the communists of Vietnam won the war. These
propaganda campaign caused worries and panic for people, especially who worked
for the Saigon regime, wealthy people who saw no advantages for their bussiness
or who favored economic chances in America
than poor and war-torn country in Vietnam
emigrated to the U.S. and
other Western countries like France,
Australia, Germany, Canada… However, in spite of any
reasons and ways of emigration, we always consider them Vietnamese and are
willing to leave open doors for people to come back, to visit homeland and
contact relatives.
The fact that many
Vietnamese emigrating to the U.S. after the day of 30th April, 1975 is reality and belongs in the historical background
at that time, so don’t cite these exodus to judge and criticize the present
administration or the Party and State of Vietnam. In history of many countries
in the world, the emigration of parts of people of losing sides after wars is
normal due to principles of post-war circumstances. Nowadays, the emigration of
Vietnamese to America
is a historical fact, there should be no time to judge and accuse or hold
resposibilities for anyone. The important thing is to reconciliate the country
and people to mobilize all resources of Vietnamese people everywhere for the
career of constructing and developing the country.
A sad thing is that there
are still many groups and individuals who hold tight to their prejudices and
conduct many activities against the Party and State of Vietnam. Some former
officials and soldiers under the Saigon regime
still keep their hatred and try to take revenge blindly. They call the victory
day of 30th April, 1975 “the national day of hatred”,
so ignorant that they don’t understand about how losses and damages that our
country has suffered from wars, how many our talent youth and people sacrificed
themselves for the freedom and independence of the country. That is a crime to
the country’s history and martyrs!. However, there are still many people who
hold opposite ideas because they don’t have access to right and precise
information but being incited and decieved by false information from hostile
forces.
Now, there are about four
millions of Vietnamese people living and working abroad. Most of them have
supported and contributed for the country’s development. And they will play an
important role in the career of building and protecting the country.
The Resolution No 36-NQ/TW of the
politburo on affairs of Vietnamese abroad in March 26th 2004 assert that Vietnamese abroad are an integral part and a
resource of the Vietnamese people, a leading factor in promoting cooperations
and relationships with other nations in the world. The key point in reconciliation
is a viewpoint of the motherland. Childs could leave their parents but parents
are always tolerant and willing to forgive and welcome them back. So, people
who are still afraid and hold prejudices about the country should consider that
the motherland always waits and opens for them to come back.

the Party and Goverment have enected many policies which create favorable conditions for Vietkieu's coming back.
it is a shame for those who conduct activities against the Party and State of Vietnam
