At the age of over 80, Mr. Truong Cong Ho is still as diligent and hard-working as a bee. He takes care of a lush green garden. He said that now he takes gardening as a hobby in his old age. Every day he goes out to visit the garden, breathes the fresh air, and feels a comfortable and relaxed life. He always reminds his children and grandchildren to live responsibly and to make efforts. In the past, he lacked many things but still managed to do it, so now that his children and grandchildren have better conditions, they must try even harder.
From a soldier who fought through bullets to a diligent farmer who worked hard to make a living , Mr. Ho helped many farming households escape poverty.
In 1977, he returned to Cu Mblim village to live and started building his small home. The couple lived a happy life with 7 children born one after another. But the joy was not complete, unfortunately 3 of them had serious consequences of Agent Orange. Two died early, one still cannot take care of himself. With the tenacious spirit of a soldier, he diligently studied and made a living to raise his children to study properly.
In addition to the land granted by the State, he reclaimed more than 1 hectare of upland land to grow corn, cassava, and rice, but the income was not much. During his trips to other communes, he saw effective coffee and pepper farms, so he went there to learn. After a period of research, realizing that the climate and soil where he lived were suitable, he boldly changed his crops. After more than 5 years of tireless diligence, his coffee and pepper gardens began to generate a stable income.
He said that at that time, many households in the village did not know how to cultivate. He did not hesitate to share his experience, instructing people on how to prepare the land, choose seeds, and take care of plants.
He mobilized everyone to reclaim land and develop production, determined not to let anyone suffer from hunger. Currently, people's lives are better. People here both develop the economy and join hands to preserve culture.
Thanks to his tireless efforts, his family earns 300-400 million VND per year, depending on the price of agricultural products each year. He has built a solid house and his children have received proper education. Up to now, all four of his children have stable jobs. In everyday life, this soldier still carries in his heart the flame of patriotism and dedication, quietly lighting up the will of the next generation with his own life.
