The Revolutionary Spirit of the Guilin Vietnam School and Its Significance in Contemporary Vietnam - China Relations
Keywords:
Guilin Vietnam School, “Guilin spirit”, contemporary China- Vietnam relationsAbstract
From the 1950s to the 1970s, in support of Vietnam’s resistance against French and American forces and to advance its national education development, the Chinese and Vietnamese governments jointly established Vietnam schools in Guangxi and Jiangxi, China. These institutions were dedicated to training revolutionary successors and nation- building talents for Vietnam. Adopting a fully enclosed management model and a patriotic education philosophy, the schools cultivated a revolutionary spirit characterized by independence, self-reliance, patriotism, unity, and progress. This spirit not only became a lifelong source of strength for Vietnamese students but they also continue to play a vital role in contemporary Vietnam-China relations by reinforcing traditional friendship and sustaining bilateral cooperation. In the future, deepening comprehensive exchange and cooperation between Vietnam and China is an inevitable trend. The revolutionary spirit forged by the previous generation of revolutionaries from both countries will continue to serve as a guiding star in the development of future China-Vietnam relations.
