Trying to find one's own way

Journalist Le Dung, Head of Reporter Department, Thanh Hoa Newspaper.

In addition to her ability to think, build good story lines, discover topics, and be sensitive to social issues, journalist Le Dung always strives to find her own path. That is the “secret” for Le Dung to have a series of articles that won high prizes at central and local journalism awards.

With the series of articles "Resolution "paving the way" to realize the aspiration of a rich and beautiful Thanh Hoa" - A prize of the Provincial Golden Hammer and Sickle Award in 2024, the work has generally reflected the aspiration for a rich and beautiful Thanh Hoa, worthy of its glorious historical tradition and cultural depth, which is inherently the burning desire of many generations of people who were born, grew up and "returned" to this land. Then, only when illuminated by the light of a resolution of a "paving the way", with specific mechanisms and policies; at the same time, urged by a strong will to overcome, then the aspiration that has always been burning will have a foothold to realize...

Based on that historic requirement, on August 5, 2020, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 58-NQ/TW on building and developing Thanh Hoa province to 2030, with a vision to 2045. At the same time, the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 37/2021/QH15, dated November 13, 2021 on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Thanh Hoa province.

If Resolution No. 58-NQ/TW outlines the most basic and general directions for Thanh Hoa, Resolution No. 37/2021/QH15 acts as a lever, or a "breakthrough" that overcomes conventional frameworks, limitations of vision, of innovative thinking, and development for this land. With these two particularly important Resolutions, from here, a future vision and promising development opportunities for Thanh Hoa province are opened up.

Therefore, in addition to overcoming internal difficulties, Thanh Hoa is continuing to make efforts to "take advantage of the situation" and "create momentum" for development. At the same time, taking to heart the lesson of success: developing a rich and beautiful Thanh Hoa must become a "command from the heart" burning with love and dedication of every citizen of this land. From there, create a society with ethics and culture as the foundation for creative thinking to flourish, for talented people to contribute, for faith to flourish, in order to take advantage of the opportunities and luck brought about by Resolution No. 58-NQ/TW of the Politburo and Resolution No. 37/2021/QH15 of the National Assembly, to transform the aspiration of a rich, beautiful, civilized, "model" Thanh Hoa into reality soon.

Topics about ethnic minorities are valuable material.

Journalist Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy (Pen name An Thu), reporter of the Political and Current Affairs Department of Thanh Hoa Radio and Television Station.

With nearly 15 years in the profession and many consecutive years of excellent achievement in winning the A prize - Golden Hammer and Sickle Award at the provincial level, journalist Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy (pen name An Thu) has always been attached to and loved topics about ethnic minorities, especially the difficult district of Muong Lat.

With the work "Dawn after the Heaven's Gate" - A prize of the 2024 Provincial Golden Hammer and Sickle Award, journalist An Thu and her team worked hard to produce, expressing it in the documentary genre rich in details with generalization, soft language, rich in images, expressing clear thoughts, themes, opinions, and messages...

According to journalist An Thu, the reason for choosing the topic is that behind the top of the Heaven's Gate slope, Muong Lat is the most mysterious and difficult land in Thanh Hoa province, where ethnic minorities such as Mong, Tho, Muong, Thai, Dao live... Harsh natural conditions, persistent bad customs, drug abuse... make the lives of people here sink into poverty and misery. To help Muong Lat overcome difficulties, in recent years, Thanh Hoa province has issued many important resolutions, projects, and programs specifically for this difficult land.

In particular, on September 29, 2022, the Standing Committee of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 11 on building and developing Muong Lat district until 2030, with a vision to 2045, in which, it set the goal of striving for Muong Lat to escape poverty by 2030. After two years of implementation, Resolution No. 11 has created a new wind for Muong Lat to develop comprehensively in all aspects, especially in the economic field. And most importantly, Resolution No. 11 has multiplied the belief and aspiration for the Party Committee, government and people of Muong Lat district to overcome difficulties, strive to build an increasingly prosperous homeland.

Go to contemplate and summarize

Journalist Do Duc, reporter of Reporter Department, Thanh Hoa Newspaper

During his time following the Thanh border region for many years, journalist Do Duc has researched, witnessed, experienced and summarized to introduce and portray in many aspects, both the inner thoughts, personalities and actions of "leading the way" of many shining examples of Mong ethnic party members. They dare to wait for failure, economic loss, bad reputation, and the joy of others to think differently, to do the opposite of the hope of bringing prosperity and happiness to their people.

Among them, there are young, middle-aged, and elderly people, working in different fields, but they all share the same aspirations, iron will, and steadfast, persistent spirit of a party member. And they have succeeded, becoming people of great prestige, recognized by the Party Committee and government, and loved and respected by the Mong people... They are the nucleus, the "magnet" with strong attraction, gathering and motivating people to eliminate bad customs, the mentality of waiting and relying on others, striving to develop the economy, building a prosperous and happy life and village.

Through the examples, the basic political theory lesson is affirmed: Improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of grassroots party organizations is to improve the Party's appeal to the people, which originates from the appeal of each party member to the masses. From there, the journalist expanded the issue, raised the level of the article, "anatomized and sliced" the internal contradictions in the implementation of ethnic policies and ethnic work of the Party and State in the Mong ethnic minority area of ​​Thanh Hoa. From there, he continued to affirm the role and value of setting an example, as President Ho Chi Minh once advised: "A living example is worth more than a hundred propaganda speeches". At the same time, he encouraged party committees, party organizations, and party members to continue to uphold the spirit and responsibility of setting an example in all patriotic emulation movements...

That is also a common story in many Mong ethnic areas across the country and the correctness and urgency of a leadership method of the Party: the Party leads through the exemplary actions of Party members.

Those contemplations and conclusions were transferred by journalist Do Duc into the article that won the Golden Hammer and Sickle Award at the provincial level this year - "The Mong people" go against the "border to find prosperity".
