The journey to bring upland villages to change

Văn Đức - Duy Dũng |

From a highland village with more than half of the poor households, Lang Sang (Pung Luong commune, Lao Cai province) today has put on a new face. Behind that journey is the mark of Party Secretary Mua A Cua - a H'Mong ethnic Party member who persistently leads people to rise up with specific and practical actions.

How to speak for people to understand and remember

In Lang Sang village, mentioning the name Mua A Cua, people not only call him the Party cell secretary but also the person who stands at the forefront of all common affairs of the village. In the high mountains, where 100% of the H'Mong ethnic people live, the trust and love of the People is the clearest measure of the prestige of a grassroots cadre.

Sang village was once a particularly difficult village, people's lives mainly relied on growing corn and upland rice, fragmented production, and a high poverty rate. For Party Secretary Mua A Cua, to change the face of the village, first of all, it is necessary to make people understand the Party's policies and see the path to progress from their own lives.

Instead of reading the resolution in a stereotypical way, he chose to convey it directly, in both common and H'Mong languages, linking each policy with specific tasks of the village and each household.

Saying it so that people can understand and remember it easily, and see that following it is beneficial for their families," Mr. Cua shared.

Not stopping at propaganda, Party cell secretary Mua A Cua always maintains the principle of "saying and doing". He regularly goes to each household, listens to the people's thoughts and difficulties to bring to the Party cell for discussion and agreement on solutions. Party cell meetings are therefore also changing, no longer rigid but becoming a forum for Party members to frankly exchange and propose solutions for economic development, maintaining security and order, and building a cultural life.

Under the leadership of Lang Sang village party cell, 100% of Party members are trained and fully grasp the directives and resolutions of the Party. The content of activities closely follows local political tasks, associated with specific models such as household economic development, forest protection, and new rural construction.

Propaganda to eliminate outdated customs

A highlight in the term of Party cell Secretary Mua A Cua is the effective implementation of the "Four Goods" Party cell model and the "Skillful Mass Mobilization" models. From studying and following Uncle Ho, the Party cell chose practical actions: Mobilizing people to convert crop structures, introduce new varieties into production; applying scientific and technical advances in animal husbandry; propagating the elimination of outdated customs, building a civilized lifestyle in weddings and funerals.

If the people want to trust, cadres must set an example. In economic development, Party cell secretary Mua A Cua is the pioneer. From traditional production, his family boldly converted a part of the area to growing fruit trees, combined with commercial livestock breeding. When seeing clear results, he was willing to share experiences and guide people on how to do it.

Mr. Vang A De, a resident of Lang Sang village, shared: "Whenever a family is in difficulty, Mr. Cua comes to encourage and guide them on how to do business. His words go hand in hand with actions, so people believe that many households have escaped poverty.

The effectiveness of the "people's mobilization from practice" approach is clearly shown through the figures. From a poverty rate of 62% in 2020, by 2025, Lang Sang village has decreased to 11.17%. In 2022, the village was recognized as meeting new rural standards, marking an important turning point for a highland village with many difficulties.

In parallel with economic development, Party Secretary Mua A Cua especially values Party building work. Through two terms, the village party cell has admitted 5 new Party members, mainly union members and youth. Thanks to that, the party cell has maintained the title of clean and strong for many consecutive years; the Party Secretary himself continuously excellently completed tasks in the 2020-2025 period.

In the movements to build new rural areas, maintain security and order, protect forests, and prevent forest fires, Mr. Mua A Cua was always a pioneer, present with the people from the beginning. That closeness and responsibility created a high consensus among the people.

Mr. Giang A Vu - Secretary of the Party Committee of Pung Luong commune - shared: "Knowing that Party Cell Secretary Mua A Cua is about to be honored as 96 typical Party Cell Secretaries nationwide, the locality is very proud. Mr. Cua is a dedicated and responsible cadre, trusted by the people. If the commune has more Party Cell Secretaries like Mr. Cua, the implementation of socio-economic development targets will be very secure.
