Although suffering from a serious illness, for many years, Mr. Nguyen Phi Bon (born in 1965, in Tan Dinh village, Luu Vinh Son commune) has always been a pioneer and exemplary participant in building the new rural area.

In order to implement the criteria for building a model new-style rural residential area, in February 2024, Tan Dinh village launched a campaign to widen a 320m long road from 3m to 5m wide. As soon as the village officials discussed, Mr. Bon took the lead, boldly demolishing 30m of fence, demolishing the solid house gate and donating ^45m2 of land to widen the road.

From Mr. Bon's pioneering spirit and responsibility, it spread throughout the village, helping the site clearance work go more smoothly.

Mr. Tran Danh Ngu - Head of Tan Dinh village shared: “Despite his difficult circumstances, when he himself was sick, one of his children also died of a serious illness and now another child is being treated for the disease, Mr. Bon's family has always been exemplary, taking the lead in the activities and movements of the village. Not only willing to donate land, Mr. Bon also participated in building the new rural area, the family also rebuilt the dismantled works without hesitation and together with the inter-family group built a covered drainage ditch. Mr. Bon's pioneering spirit and responsibility have spread to the people in the village, helping the site clearance work to be more favorable."

Mr. Bon's family took the lead, boldly demolishing 30m of fence, demolishing the solid gate of the house and donating ^45m2 of land to widen the road.

In just 1 month, the site clearance work for the 320m long village road was completed. More than 20 households donated ^1,300m2 of land, demolished 700m of fence, 4 solid gates, and 2 auxiliary works. The 5m wide road was completed clean and airy. Thanks to that, by the end of 2024, Tan Dinh village completed the criteria and was recognized as a model new rural residential area.

Mr. Bon confided: “The road expansion not only beautifies the village roads and alleys, but my family also benefits from traveling on the spacious road, so I am always ready. Also from donating land to open the road, the spirit of solidarity and contribution to the homeland of the villagers has multiplied, I am very happy”.
