In particular, in 1925, at No. 13, Van Minh Street, Guangzhou, China, Nguyen Ai Quoc founded Thanh Nien Newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association (Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association). This was the first revolutionary newspaper in Vietnam, opening the history of revolutionary journalism and Vietnamese proletarian journalism.
Thanh Nien Newspaper has the mission of spreading Marxism-Leninism, propagating the revolutionary path, and calling on the people to unite in the struggle. The newspaper plays an important role in preparing the theory, ideology, politics and organization for the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and at the same time opens a new journalism stream - Vietnamese revolutionary journalism.
