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.

Nguyen Dinh Chinh, head of the Kim Boi Department of Culture, Information, and Science, said the movement has harnessed the collective strength of the political system and gained widespread support from local residents. It is implemented around five core content areas and seven sub-movements.
Currently, 13 out of 17 communes and townships in the district have cultural houses and sports facilities. Efforts to promote civilised lifestyles have been intensified. Management is in place to ensure the organisation of festivals following a respectful, cost-effective, and safe manner that reflects the local ethnic cultural identity. A family code of conduct has also been introduced to households and residential areas, serving as a benchmark for evaluating "cultural families” annually.
From the associated "good people, good deeds” movement, Kim Boi has identified and replicated 14 outstanding models at the district level and three at the provincial level. Notable examples include the families of Vuong Sy Hai in Treo hamlet, Tu Son commune, and Bui Van Lung in Ve hamlet, Dong Bac commune, who donated land for road construction. Another standout is the Bac Son kindergarten in Hung Son commune, which developed a model to enhance Vietnamese language skills among ethnic minority children while preserving their cultural heritage.
According to Chinh, the movement has contributed to building a healthy cultural environment and improving the spiritual life of locals. Outdated customs have been curbed, social ills contained, and cultural institutions enhanced. Neighbourly relations have grown stronger, fostering shared development, economic progress, and maintaining political stability and public order across the district.
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.

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.
