General Nguyen Chi Thanh was born on January 1, 1914 in Quang Dien district, the Central province of Thua Thien-Hue.

He joined the Communist Party of Indochina when he was 20. He held many important positions in the Party, State and military, including the Director of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People’s Army and Head of the Party Central Committee’s Agriculture Commission.

His service significantly contributed to the growth of the Vietnam People’s Army, as well as the development of agriculture and other sectors.

During his 30 year-plus revolutionary career, he was a model of fighting selfishness, corruption and wastefulness, as well as a pioneer in following President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example.
