Throughout 30 years of protracted resistance wars colonialists and imperialists (1945–1975), , yet their will for an independent and unified Vietnam remained unshaken. 

In his call on National Day, September 2, 1955, President Ho Chi Minh affirmed: “Vietnam will certainly be reunified, as our country is an indivisible whole, and no one can divide it.” In a letter to all Vietnamese people in 1956, he wrote: “Reunifying the nation is the lifeline of our people.” the most intense and brutal phase of the anti-US resistance war, on July 17, 1966, he firmly declared: “The war may last 5 years, 10 years, 20 years or longer… But the Vietnamese people are determined not to be afraid! Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom. When the day of victory comes, our people will rebuild our country to be more dignified and more beautiful.” And indeed, under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and our Party, the Vietnamese army and people overcame countless difficulties, , with a strong belief in the power of justice and the spirit of national independence.

President Ho Chi Minh's declaration "Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one" is not only a truth, a strategic orientation, but also a the heart of the entire nation. Amid the flames of war, these words strength, inspiring millions of Vietnamese to with the resolve of "sacrificing for the country to survive".

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the early days of the United States, postal charges were paid by the recipients and charges varied with the distance carried. In 1825, the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters.

In 1847, the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which, of course, simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides, the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address. In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150,000 people still had to go to the post office to get their mail. The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that, during the years of these cumbersome arrangements, private letter-carrying and express businesses developed. Although their activities were only semi-legal, they thrived, and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were a half-day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had.

[I] Finally, in 1863, Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. [II] But this delivery service was at first confined to cities, and free home delivery became a mark of urbanism. [III] As late as 1887, a town had to have 10,000 people to be eligible for free home delivery. [IV] In 1890, of the 75 million people in the United States, fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors. The rest, nearly three-quarters of the population, still received no mail unless they went to their post office.
