Ho Chi Minh was a great leader of the Vietnamese revolution, leaving the nation a vast spiritual legacy deeply imbued with the cultural values of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. Within this rich and invaluable heritage, his thoughts on education to enhancing revolutionary ethics and combating individualism hold particular significance in the theoretical and practical study of anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam. Therefore, the author argues that researching the ethical values of Ho Chi Minh in the context of contemporary Vietnam is of utmost necessity. In this paper, the author employs an interdisciplinary scientific approach, incorporating philosophical, political science, historical and cultural methodologies, as well as data synthesis methods, to elucidate two fundamental issues: firstly, an analysis of the core tenets of Ho Chi Minh's thought on political ethics (ethics of officials) and its degeneration; secondly, from the perspective of "ethics”, the author presents reflections on the current state and consequences of corruption in Vietnam and proposes some suggestive solutions, which the writer considers effective in addressing the issue.
