Mr. Hoang has been farming all his life, planting forests, growing pepper, dragon fruit, raising fish, poultry, and livestock. In front of his house, he grows all kinds of flowers and ornamental plants, including 300 mai trees that are 5 to 10 years old, as a way to "retire" himself. Every year, from selling flowers, fruits, chickens, ducks, and fish, he earns about 100 million VND; and for many years in a row, he has achieved the title of Good Farmer and Businessman at all levels. Not only taking care of his family's life, he also helps poor households and the elderly in the village with seeds, capital without interest. Remember, in 2003 and 2006, his family donated 1,000m2 of land to widen roads to contribute to the construction of new rural areas without asking for any support or compensation. His actions have set a shining example for the villagers to follow.
In addition to farming, he is also a poetry lover, using the pen name Phuoc Dong. He founded Thi Huong Lau, where he and his friends write poems, recite poems and introduce products from their home gardens. The poetry collection "Huong Que" was released in 1996, with more than 50 poems, which is proof of his love for his homeland. Recently, he released the poetry collection "Huong Giang", with 100 articles about Hue . He is a member of many poetry clubs and folk literature associations. For him, writing poetry is a part of life, encouraging everyone, especially the elderly, and villagers to love life more and be attached to their homeland.

As the eldest grandson of the Tran Dinh clan, Mr. Hoang is the 18th generation descendant of the predecessor Tran Quoc Tan, the founder of Yen Ne village. He still holds 14 royal decrees of the Nguyen Dynasty, along with more than 17 valuable ancient books. He is also the one who records and preserves the history, festivals, and culture of the village, passing them on to future generations. Every year, on the 20th day of the third lunar month, villagers gather at the Tran Dinh clan temple, which he oversees, to organize the "Ham an, Sac phong" procession to Phuoc Thuan communal house for worship.
One of his favorite projects was the preservation and restoration of the Thai Giam Temple, a place to worship talented people who have contributed to the country and the people. Thanks to his efforts, the Thai Giam Temple was restored and became a place to organize activities to encourage learning and reward excellent students in the village. He went from house to house to encourage the elderly to support books for poor students who overcome difficulties, encouraging them to continue their education.
In particular, in 2014, he successfully organized the first and only “Filial Sons, Daughters-in-Laws, and Sons-in-Laws” Club in Hoa Vang District. This club is not only a place to help each other in difficult times, but also a spiritual support for each family, contributing to building a happy and prosperous life. The club has become a model of solidarity and love in the community, organizing activities once a month for members to share and exchange experiences.
As a leader, he has always been a shining example in mobilizing people to implement the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and actively participating in land donation movements for road construction and new rural construction. He also established the Association for the Promotion of Learning and built the Village Elderly Library, where nearly 1,000 books and newspapers are stored to serve the elderly.
Mr. Le Duc Nghiem, Chairman of the Elderly Association of Hoa Nhon Commune, said that over the past 20 years, Mr. Tran Phuoc Hoang and the Elderly Association of the village have received many Certificates of Merit from all levels and sectors. In 2019, when Phuoc Thuan and Phuoc Hau villages merged into Phuoc Thuan Phuoc Hau village, he continued to be elected as the Head of the Elderly Association of the new village. Although the work was heavier, he still completed his tasks excellently, especially in mobilizing the Association fund and meeting other important criteria, thanks to which he was always loved and respected by the people. He is a shining example of enthusiasm and tireless dedication to the community, an exemplary and wise "village elder", leaving a deep impression in the hearts of the people and the elderly here.
