On the morning of December 27th, stepping onto the stage for exchange at the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress, Mr. Vu Huu Le - a mechanical engineering engineer, over 90 years old this year - brought tools for manufacturing and invention, attached to him for decades, since he was still in class learning about bridges and roads.
Mr. Vu Huu Le is known as the inventor of farmers.
I make any mechanical machine that people request," Mr. Vu Huu Le said. Up to this point, he has luggage of hundreds of types of machinery manufactured for farmers. Some machines, if imported, cost up to hundreds of millions of VND, but he invented and manufactured them for only tens of millions of VND.
His inventions have brought many benefits to farmers, helping farmers reduce their time as well as their strength and hardship. Mr. Le said that he only takes a part of the profit, the rest is mainly to serve farmers. He is loved by farmers not only for his useful inventions but also for his friendliness, harmony, and enthusiasm.
Talking about the reason for his endless passion for manufacturing machinery for farmers, Mr. Le shared that he came from a poor farming family, so he used to plow and harrow, so he understands farmers very well. Moreover, from a young age, he was curious and loved making machines. After studying in this field, he was equipped with many knowledge and skills in making machines.
I go down to farmers, they show me what needs to be improved, what needs to be done, from there I tinker and invent the necessary machines to meet their production needs," Mr. Le shared.
In addition to the encouragement, recognition, and love of farmers, Mr. Le also always receives the attention and recognition of Party and State leaders. These things have become a great motivation, urging him to constantly create and manufacture even when he is over 90 years old.
