Thung residential area in Suoi Hoa commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh, on November 1 held the Great National Solidarity Festival in 2024.

Nguyen Thi Cam Phuong, Permanent Vice
Chairwoman of the Hoa Binh People’s, Council and leaders of the provincial
Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee present flowers to Thung residential area on
the occasion of the festival.
Thung residential area is home to 95
households with 457 people. Responding to the campaign of "all people stay
united to build new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas”, local
residents have helped one another to promote economic development, get out of
poverty, and become rich, while donating land and working days to build
infrastructure works. Currently, the local per capita income has reached 33
million VND (1,298 USD) per year, up 3% compared to 2023.
Over the years, 100% of the households in
the residential area have adhered to the regulations on civilised lifestyle
practices in weddings and funerals, and refrained from spreading superstitions
or engaging in practices related to them. In 2024, the residential area has 76
out of the 95 households meeting the criteria for cultural families. It has
raised funds to support the construction and repair of seven temporary or
dilapidated houses for poor households.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Phuong
congratulated Thung residential area for its achievements in implementing the
campaign. She asked the Party Committees and administrations at all levels and
the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and its member organisations in the
locality to promote the spirit of great national solidarity, effectively
implementing the Party and State's policies and laws. Each family should
maintain and promote good traditions, building a happy family, upholding the
bond of neighbours, working together to protect the environment, and preserving
the cultural residential area title, thus contributing to the construction of a
more civilised and prosperous homeland.
On this occasion, leaders of the provincial
People’s Committee, VFF Committee, and the Party Committee and People’s
Committee of Tan Lac district as well as departments, sectors, and
organisations presented flowers and gifts to the residential area.
Within the festival’s framework, delegates
attended a ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of a house presented
to Bui Tien Mai, a local of the area.
With an increasingly vibrant and widespread emulation movement aimed at building cultured residential areas and cultured families, Yen Thuy District has been making steady progress toward improving both the material and spiritual well-being of its people, while fostering a civilized, prosperous, beautiful, and progressive community.
Once lacking recreational spaces and community facilities, Residential Group 2 in Quynh Lam Ward (Hoa Binh City) has recently received attention for the construction of a new, spacious, and fully equipped cultural house. The project followed the model of state support combined with public contributions in both labor and funding.
The "All people unite to build cultural life" movement, which has been effectively integrated with Kim Boi district’s socio-economic development goals, is fostering a lively spirit of emulation across local residential areas, hamlets, villages, public agencies, and enterprises. In addition, through the initiative, traditional cultural values are being preserved and promoted, while community solidarity and mutual support in poverty reduction and economic development are being strengthened.
A working delegation of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee led by its Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Van Toan on June 11 inspected the progress of a project to build the Mo Muong Cultural Heritage Conservation Space linked to tourism services in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Born and growing in the heroic land of Muong Dong, Dinh Thi Kieu Dung, a resident in Bo town of Kim Boi district, in her childhood was nurtured by the sweet lullabies of her grandmother and mother. These melodies deeply imprinted on her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her love for her ethnic group's culture. For over 20 years, this love for her hometown has driven Dung to research, collect, and pass down the cultural values of the Muong people to future generations.
In the final days of May, the Ethnic Art Troupe of Hoa Binh Province organized performances to serve the people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas within the province. These were not just ordinary artistic shows, but they were the meaningful journeys aimed at spreading cultural values, enhancing the spiritual life of the people and contributing to the preservation of ethnic minority cultural identities.
