(HBO) – Chi Hoa Production Group, the place where then President Ho Chi Minh visited in 1958, is currently a revolutionary historical relic site in Doc Phan hamlet of Lam Son commune, Luong Son district. It has been renovated and upgraded to become a destination for educating revolutionary traditions and the spirit of solidarity to younger generations.
The site of President Ho Chi Minh’s visit to Chi Hoa
Production Group has been renovated and upgraded.
In 1956, following the Party and State’s policy,
45 cadres from the South and some political prisoners at Chi Hoa Prison
released by French colonialists came to Luong Son district to establish Group 1
and Chi Hoa Group to reclaim wild land and develop production. After that,
Group 1 and Chi Hoa Group merged into a firm named the Southern Production
Group, which was later renamed Cuu Long Production Group – the predecessor of
the Cuu Long state-owned farm.
In 1958, Chi Hoa Production Group was bestowed
with the third-class Labour Order by the Prime Minister in recognition of its
achievements in agricultural production and livestock farming to contribute to
the economic recovery and reconstruction of the North.
On October 19, 1958, during his trip to Hoa
Binh, President Ho Chi Minh visited a division of soldiers from the South based
in Luong Son and Chi Hoa Production Group. Resting under a big starfruit tree,
he enquired after all people and encouraged them to press on with production
activities and life quality improvement to practically help with the fight for
national reunification.
The leader’s visit to Chi Hoa Production Group
demonstrated his sentiment towards the compatriots and soldiers in the South,
including the cadres and workers of the group and people in Luong Son. After
the day of national reunification, many of them returned to their hometowns in
the South.
The place where President Ho Chi Minh visited
Chi Hoa Production Group is currently the area of the Hoa Binh Apiculture
Company under the Vietnam National Apiculture joint Stock Company in Doc Phan
hamlet of Lam Son commune. The starfruit tree under which he rested is still
there at present, with a big stone placed next to it to commemorate the visit.
To preserve the revolutionary historical relic
site, in 2019, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee approved a project on
renovating this place. The project was of importance as it met the aspiration
of the Luong Son Party organisation, administration and people, as well as of
those from the South coming to the North and currently living and working in
the district. The site also holds great political, cultural, and social
significance since it helps educate younger generations about the revolutionary
traditions, the spirit of solidarity, and the strong will to move forwards of
Luong Son district and Hoa Binh province at large.
The subcommittee for documents of the 18th Hoa Binh provincial Party Congress, the 2025 - 2030 term, convened on March 3 to review and incorporate public feedback on the congress’s draft documents. The meeting was chaired by Nguyen Phi Long, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee. It was attended by senior provincial officials, including Bui Thi Minh, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the provincial People’s Council; Bui Duc Hinh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; other members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee; and members of the document subcommittee.
Muong Bi - Tan Lac, one of the four major Muong ethnic minority-inhabited regions in Hoa Binh, is known for not only its distinctive cultural identity but also its proud history of heroism, with great contributions to the victory against US invaders in the past. Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has thoroughly implemented and adhered to Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on restructuring the organisational apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined, efficient, and effective direction, ensuring no disruption of work.
By mid-February, Da Bac district completed a plan to streamline its organisational apparatus and personnel work, marking a milestone in efforts to promote restructuring towards a leaner, more efficient organisational system, closely following directives from the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, and Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, and Resolution No. 27-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee and Conclusion No. 1103-KL/TU by the provincial Party Organisation’s standing board.
Imbued with President Ho Chi Minh's teaching "The Party cell are the Party’s grassroots foundations. A strong Party cell ensures the effective implementation of the Party’s policies and continuous progress in all tasks," the Party Committee of Kim Boi commune, Kim Boi District, has rolled out the "four-good Party cell" model. The initiative has created a positive change, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of Party organisations and their members.
