The movement "All people unite to build cultural life" has become a cornerstone of community development in Lac Son district, aligning with national rural development goals and local patriotic initiatives.
A shining example of this effort is Hau Nghi street in Vu Ban town, where 338 households from four ethnic groups work together to enhance both their living conditions and social environment. The residents have embraced initiatives that foster economic growth, environmental sustainability, and lawfulness.
In 2023, the street's average per capita income exceeded 58 million VND (2,400 USD), reflecting the tangible benefits of their collective efforts.
Thuong Coc commune, where 98% of its population are Muong ethnics, has also strongly adopted the movement. Local authorities have promoted cultural preservation by forming 14 art performance teams and various clubs aimed at sustaining traditional practices.
A standout project in Cao hamlet saw the installation of streetlights and the creation of 600 meters of flower-lined roads, transforming the hamlet’s appearance while fostering community spirit.
Nguyen The Hung, head of Lac Son's culture department, emphasised that the movement has been instrumental in preserving the local cultural heritage, including Muong gongs, folk traditions, and other intangible asset.
By promoting cultural unity across different ethnic groups, the initiative has bolstered both social cohesion and economic development.
In 2023, 88.5% of residential areas and 86.6% of households in Lac Son were recognized as cultural communities, underscoring the movement's broad impact on the district’s progress and stability.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
