10-10-2025

(worldkings) The World Records Union (WordlKings) honored Major General, Record holder Vu Cao Quan with the GRAND RECORDS - SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE on September 21, 2025, within the 54th Convocation of Vietnamese Record Holders in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). This is the warranted acknowledgment of his contributions and dedication to society and global record holder community.

In a world where leadership is often defined by titles and positions, Vu Cao Quan stands out for embodying leadership as service. Born in 1954, he devoted more than four decades to Vietnam’s military, rising to the post of Deputy Chief of Staff of Military Region 9 and later serving as Commander of the Can Tho City Military Command. Even after retiring from active service, his life has remained inseparable from the ideals of duty, community, and patriotism. At the 54th Convocation of Vietnamese Record Holders, he was honoured with the GRAND RECORDS - SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE for his remarkable contributions to society, proving that the spirit of service does not retire with rank.

Major General, Record holder Vu Cao Quan has marked his life with 7 Vietnamese records and 3 global Vietnamese records during his over 40-year journey devoted to the army and community. Not only does he assert leadership ability and innovate in the military and medical fields, but he also spends enormous efforts on community activities. This wholehearted dedication is particularly evident through the "Tet Quan Dan" (Spring Festival of the Army and the People)  program, which has been continuously running for 19 years in Can Tho city. These dedications have contributed to the image of a conscientious Major General for the homeland and people.

Mr. Vu Cao Quan’s career in the military was marked by discipline and dedication to national defence. Colleagues recall him as a strategist and commander who balanced firmness with compassion, earning the respect of soldiers and citizens alike. His decades of service were recognised with numerous commendations from the Party, the State, and the Army. Yet his story did not end with military accolades. Instead of retreating into private life, he chose to channel his experience and leadership into community service, bridging the world of defence with that of social development.

Today, Mr Quan serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoa Hao General Hospital, Can Tho Medic. In this role, he has continued his lifelong mission of serving people, albeit in a different sphere. Healthcare, like national defence, demands commitment, organisation, and an unwavering sense of responsibility. His involvement reflects his belief that safeguarding lives extends beyond battlefields to hospitals, clinics, and community spaces.

 

The unaccountable meaning activities in the "Tet Quan Dan" program

Perhaps his most enduring contribution is the initiation and organization of the annual Tet Quan-Dan (Spring Festival of the Army and the People) in Can Tho City. For 18 consecutive years, this programme has become a cherished tradition, bringing soldiers and civilians together during Vietnam’s most important festival.

Through shared meals, cultural performances, and acts of charity, Tet Quan-Dan symbolises the bond between the armed forces and the people they serve. It reinforces the idea that security is not only about weapons and strategies but also about trust, solidarity, and compassion. For thousands of citizens, this annual celebration has become a reminder that the military is not distant but deeply embedded in community life. Unlike others honoured for artistic or entrepreneurial achievements, his recent award was rooted in something equally vital – the ability to inspire unity, preserve traditions, and uplift communities.
