Located at the centre of Vay Nua commune, Duong hamlet is home to 81 households
with 325 residents. The Dao ethnic group makes up 98% of the population, while
the remainder consists of Muong and Tay people. This year, the hamlet
demonstrated strong solidarity by actively participating in movements and
campaigns, particularly the "All people stay united to build new-style rural
areas and civilised urban areas.” These efforts have bolstered community
cohesion and contributed significantly to the commune’s progress in new-style
rural development.
Throughout November, other hamlets in Vay Nua commune also held
celebrations to mark Great National Unity Day and the Military-Civilian
Cultural Day. According to Dinh Thanh Phu, Secretary of the Commune's Party
Committee, these events not only reflect community solidarity and sound
cultural values but also enrich the cultural life of the region. This unity
serves as a source of strength, enabling ethnic groups to live in harmony,
support one another, and overcome challenges in the journey toward building
new-style rural areas.
Vay Nua commune, situated along the Da River about 20km from the
district center, comprises eight hamlets predominantly inhabited by the Dao and
Muong ethnic groups. The commune faces significant challenges, including uneven
population distribution, underdeveloped infrastructure, and economic hardship.
Currently, 28.57% of households are classified as poor, while 26.2% are
near-poor.
Despite these difficulties, the solidarity among the Party organisation, local
authorities, and residents has been key to ensuring political stability, social
and security order, and economic progress. Residents trust the leadership of
the Party and actively participate in campaigns to build new-style rural areas
and foster a vibrant cultural life.
Da Bac district, where ethnic minorities make up 89.72% of the population, is
home to five ethnic groups living harmoniously while preserving their unique
cultural traditions. This diversity creates a rich and dynamic cultural and
spiritual life in the region.
As of November 20, all residential areas in Da Bac district had successfully
organised Great National Unity Day. Dinh Thi Kieu, Chairwoman of the Vietnam
Fatherland Front (VFF)’s chapter in Da Bac district, noted that these
celebrations were held safely, economically, and effectively. They honoured
traditional cultural values, recognised outstanding individuals and exemplary
families, and fostered unity between military personnel, officials, and
residents, thereby strengthening spiritual foundation in the new cultural
life.
