(HBO) - While visiting Hung Thi commune in Lac Thuy district, Hoa Binh province, during the historic days of April, we also went to Thung Tram hamlet - the hometown of Hero of the People’s Armed Forces and martyr Bui Van Ne. After laying down his life for the independence of the Fatherland at a young age, the martyr lives on in the hearts of people in Hung Thi.
Ne’s brother Bui
Ngoc Ky said Ne is the only Hero of the People’s Armed Forces from Hung Thi commune.
After joining the army in September 1965 when he was just 18 years old, he fought
on the battlefields of the Central Highlands and southeast region and also the northwest
of Cambodia.
Rising from a soldier
to a battalion officer, no matter the position he held, Ne made every effort to
complete his duties. He was involved in 45 battles, killed 105 enemy soldiers, captured
15 enemy prisoners, destroyed 3 military vehicles, and shot down one aircraft.
With ingenuity, bravery,
and flexibility, he led his unit in fighting the enemy. In the battle of Loc Ninh
in 1972, Ne sacrificed himself after leading his unit through the local airfield,
hitting and destroying Task Force headquarters 9. In 1973, Bui Van Ne was recognised
by the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam as
a Hero of the Liberation Armed Forces.

Today, the government
and people of Hung Thi commune continue to contribute to the construction of a rich
and beautiful homeland. Under guidelines and policies and with attention from the
province and the district, the commune’s infrastructure is receiving investment
for renovations.
Local people
have actively transformed the crop structure, boosting incomes under effective models
such as growing lemongrass and fruit trees and raising chickens. At the same time,
they have made full use of all available land, forests, and human resources to build
collective economic models and increase the value of local agricultural and forestry
products.
Along with economic
development, culture, society, education, health, and defence and security are always
matters of great concern. "Local people faithfully follow the revolutionary tradition,
Party guidelines, and President Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts,” said Luong Van Dong, Chairman
of the Hung Thi Commune People’s Committee.
Resilient and indomitable
during the resistance war and rising up creatively during the renewal period, Hung
Thi commune is now a more prosperous land. The clearest evidence of its
progress is that it reached new-style rural area standards in 2020./.
In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held a monthly meeting on May 29 to assess the implementation of socio-economic development tasks in the first six months of 2025, the progress of key projects, and some other important issues.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always expressed his deep affection and special concern for children and youth. He once emphasized: "Caring for and educating children well is the responsibility of the entire Party and the entire people”; "First of all, the family (i.e. grandparents, parents, siblings) must do this job well”. "the Party Committees…, the Children’s Committee, the Youth Union, the education sector, and all related organizations must have specific plans to ensure children grow healthier and more progressive”. His teachings has been remaining valuable and serving as the guiding principles in the work of protecting, caring for, and educating children. In line with this ideology, Hoa Binh Province has continuously been prioritizing and investing resources in the well-being of children in recent years.
Mr. Nguyen Phi Long, the alternate Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee chaired the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to provide opinions on several investment projects within the province. There was the attendance of Ms. Bui Thi Minh, the Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Provincial People’s Council; Mr. Bui Đuc Hinh, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee and other members of the Standing Committee; the leaders from other departments, agencies, and some localities.
The Standing Board of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee of Hoa Binh province held a meeting on May 28 to honour outstanding village elders, village heads, and reputable individuals from local ethnic minority and religious communities.
In mid-May, the provincial Museum organised an exhibition named "Duoi la co Dang Cong san Viet Nam quang vinh” (Under the flag of the glorious Communist Party of Vietnam). This meaningful activity took place in the joyful atmosphere to celebrate the country's major holidays and the Party congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, towards the 14th National Party Congress.
