Nation mourns famous revolutionary poet

Vietnam’s famous revolutionary poet, To Huu, passed away in Hanoi at the age of 82. To Huu was a former the Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers (now the Government).
To Huu, who inspired millions of Vietnamese people with his verses for national independence and construction, was considered a pioneer in Vietnam’s revolutionary poetry. Veteran journalist, Hoang Tung wrote in the national daily Nhan Dan on Thursday that the death of To Huu is a deep loss to Vietnamese people.
Poet Vu Quan Phuong speaks from the heart of literary circles about the deceased poet, "The Revolution and the Party’s ideology inspired To Huu’s career, his devotion and sacrifice for national interests. The outstanding poet journeyed with the Communist Party of Vietnam since its inception. To Huu’s talent and revolutionary life enabled him to unite Vietnamese artists from the dawn of the revolution."
Generations of Vietnamese people will be forever grateful for To Huu’s great contributions to Vietnam’s revolutionary culture, art and literature. A teacher of literature from Hanoi’s Hoang Van Thu upper secondary school, Nguyen Thanh Thuy said, ‘’The death of To Huu came as a shock to Vietnamese poetry and literature lovers. His works are simple and easy to understand and remember. Despite changes in current poetry genres, his poems still attract a large number of readers and probably no one can replace him in the revolutionary romantic genre."
On Friday, a State funeral service will be held for poet To Huu, who will be then buried in Hanoi’s Mai Dich cemetery, the final resting place for those who rendered great services to the nation.
