Abstract

On 28 January 1941, President Ho Chi Minh returned to Vietnam after nearly thirty years of revolutionary activity abroad, marking a major turning point in the Vietnamese revolution. His selection of Pac Bo in Cao Bang as a revolutionary base demonstrated strategic vision and creative thinking. From a historical and political perspective, this article examines the context, key developments, and significance of his return in 1941. It clarifies the ideological and spiritual values and revolutionary methods that emerged from the practical experience at Pac Bo. The article also highlights the continuing relevance of these values to educating Vietnamese youth in revolutionary ideals, strengthening their political steadfastness, and fostering their commitment to national development in the current context of international integration.

Keywords: Ho Chi Minh, Ho Chi Minh Thought, Pac Bo, Vietnamese revolution, Vietnamese youth.
