The person who connects village and neighborhood

In the afternoon, when the harsh summer sun still shines down, along both sides of the street in the residential area, old women have begun to gather and chat, and children are happily playing on the red brick floor in the yard. At the cultural house, the voices, laughter, and the sound of volleyball from the people resound loudly. From afternoon to night when the high-pressure lamps are on, the atmosphere of physical exercise and sports to improve health here still does not "cool down".

Taking us on a tour along the village roads, the Party cell secretary of the residential group, Nguyen Huu Bon, could not hide his joy and confided: "Most of the people are people who were born, raised or have long-standing roots in the residential group. Therefore, they cherish every road, every row of trees, every habit, especially the neighborly affection. Therefore, during the process of being the Party cell secretary from 2018 to now, the first thing that I and the front committee of the residential group have actively built and implemented is to promote propaganda and mobilization work so that people can live happily, harmoniously, and unitedly, towards building a strong community. Next, we determined that any common work and activities of the residential group must come from the interests of the people, by the people and for the people. At the same time, no matter what we do, we must get the people's opinions; the contributions from the people when mobilizing socialization must be public and transparent before the residential group meeting".

In addition, to gain the people's sympathy and support, I and the front committee of the residential group did not hesitate to go to each house to understand the thoughts, aspirations and circumstances of the people. If there were any difficulties or problems, we would work with the households to resolve them in a reasonable and sympathetic manner. Along with that, we propagated and mobilized people to actively participate in cultural and sports activities or help each other when "the lights went out"... Thanks to that, all movements and activities in the residential group were united and supported by the people.

Currently, the residential group has 130 households and 540 people. In the process of building a new rural area to a model new rural area, so that people can understand and agree, Mr. Bon and the front committee of the residential group have propagated, mobilized, explained, and persuaded people through meetings and talking to each house. Mr. Bon said, "In order for people to voluntarily donate land, we have followed the motto "easy to do first, difficult to do later", "party members go first, the country follows", to arouse the spirit, responsibility for the community, self-awareness, and volunteerism of each person. Thanks to that, people in the residential group have understood and voluntarily donated more than 600m2 of land to build roads. After the road was expanded, people also joined hands to contribute to building new fences, drainage ditches, pouring concrete, plastering cement, planting flowers, trees, lighting, bringing a bright - green - clean - beautiful environmental landscape".

In economic development, along with agricultural development, people here also do additional jobs such as making rice paper and rice vermicelli. These jobs have existed for a long time, becoming an indispensable part of people's daily working life. However, in the process of urbanization, and changes in the market, there have been many challenges to preserving traditional jobs, which is the risk of fading away due to lack of human resources and market competition. However, Mr. Bon and the front committee of the residential group have actively promoted to make people understand that in order to preserve the job, it is necessary to focus on maintaining product quality, promoting and developing the market, as well as passing on the job to the younger generation. Along with that, people must truly unite, support, share with each other about the secrets of the job as well as support each other with capital to do business, expand production... Thanks to that, the job of making rice paper and rice vermicelli here is increasingly developing, currently the residential group also has quite a few households maintaining the job.

Thanks to the dedication and responsibility of the Party Secretary of the residential group Nguyen Huu Bon, over the years, not only has the appearance of the residential group changed, but the neighborhood relationship of the people here has also been closely and firmly connected. That is also the basis and foundation for building a cultural life, cultural people and a cultural land.
