In Meo Vac commune, where jagged, cat-ear-shaped mountains stretch endlessly, there is a son of the Mong ethnic group who has overcome countless difficulties to become a talented and dedicated doctor - Dr. Giang Van Long, Head of the General Planning Department and General Surgery Doctor at Meo Vac Regional General Hospital.
Born and raised in Meo Vac, Long witnessed the hardships and deprivations faced by his people, especially in healthcare. This fueled his dream of becoming a doctor to improve people's health.
In 2014, after graduating with a degree in General Medicine from Thai Binh Medical University, Mr. Long returned to his hometown to contribute to the medical community. Continuously improving his knowledge, in 2019 he pursued a Specialist Doctor Level I degree in Surgery. Just one year later, he successfully applied laparoscopic abdominal surgical techniques such as: suturing perforated stomach and small intestines, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, diagnostic laparoscopy, and ectopic pregnancy resection… making these services routine procedures, helping patients reduce pain, recover quickly, and save costs and time.
To further enhance his skills, in 2024, he pursued a Specialist Doctor II degree in Surgery. In addition, Dr. Long has conducted numerous valuable scientific research projects, effectively applied to medical examination and treatment, contributing to the improvement of healthcare quality.
Hunger and cold were once a constant nightmare for Vu Mi Tua, a Mong ethnic minority member and Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch in Khia Lia village, Dong Van commune. Growing up amidst the mountains and forests, his meals consisted mainly of corn and cassava. However, Tua refused to succumb to poverty and became a model figure in economic development in Khia Lia.
In 2017, recognizing the potential of Taiwanese pears, Mr. Tua planted 1 hectare and also invested in planting 3 hectares of ginger. Thanks to meticulous care, his family's model has yielded significant economic benefits. Each year, the ginger garden produces over 20 tons, and the pears over 3.5 tons. After deducting expenses, his family earns over 200 million VND annually.
Not only did Tủa enrich himself, but he also possessed a long-term vision. He actively promoted and encouraged villagers to develop ginger and pear cultivation models. To date, this model has been replicated throughout Khia Lía village, with a total ginger cultivation area of over 23 hectares and pear cultivation area of 5 hectares.
With a mindset of transforming the potential and strengths of the locality to develop the economy, Mr. Chang A An, Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch and Head of Na Cooc village, Binh An commune, focused on developing his cattle herd. Initially, he invested in raising 4 pairs of cattle. After many years of care, his family's livestock herd has increased to nearly 20 animals. In addition, he developed nearly 4 hectares of production forest, planting oil palm and acacia trees intercropped with cassava and corn, and also dug a pond for fish farming to serve his daily needs and increase his income.
As Deputy Secretary of the Party branch and Head of the village, Mr. An always works closely with the local government to monitor security, prevent distorted narratives, and maintain peace in the village. He has gone to each house to encourage villagers to send their children to school, take them to medical facilities for check-ups, eliminate outdated customs, and develop economic models. To date, the village has a total herd of over 250 buffaloes and cows, and over 300 poultry; 100% of students in the village attend school at the appropriate age, and for many years there has been no child marriage in the village…
These exemplary Hmong Party members are spreading the spirit of daring to think, daring to act, and daring to change; they have inspired young Hmong people to rise up using their own hands and intellect.
