With outstanding academic and personal achievements, this female student from the border region was admitted to the Party while still in university. Hang always longed to return to her hometown to work and do something useful for her people.

Student Cao Thi Le Hang has the honor of being admitted to the Party in June 2025.

Many years ago, during a business trip to the Ca Xeng Border Guard Post, Quang Binh Province Border Guard (now Quang Tri Province Border Guard), we met Hang – a small but resilient Ruc girl who had been adopted by the unit's officers and soldiers. The sixth of eight siblings, Hang lost her father at a young age. Her mother, Ho Thi Pay, struggled to raise her children in a house built by the government. Hang's childhood was filled with days spent accompanying her mother to the fields and into the forest to gather vegetables. "I am where I am today thanks to the care and support of the Border Guard officers, my teachers, and my friends," Hang shared.

In sixth grade, Hang was sponsored by the Ca Xeng Border Guard Post under the "Helping Children Go to School" program. The soldiers bought desks, chairs, electric lights, books, and regularly came to her house to teach her. Lieutenant Colonel Pham Xuan Ninh, Deputy Political Officer of the Ly Hoa Border Guard Post, Quang Tri Provincial Border Guard, who previously worked at the Ca Xeng Border Guard Post, recounted: "When Hang was in eighth grade, she shared her dream of becoming a teacher. The whole unit was very happy."

After graduating from junior high school, the Ruc ethnic minority girl passed the entrance exam to the Provincial Ethnic Minority Boarding High School. With the encouragement of the Border Guard, she quickly integrated and achieved excellent results. After the high school graduation exam, Hang was accepted into two universities: Hue University of Education and Quang Binh University. She chose early childhood education at Quang Binh University to fulfill her dream. In June 2025, Hang was admitted to the Communist Party of Vietnam . "I hope that in the future, more Ruc people will be able to join the ranks of the Party," Hang shared at the admission ceremony.

Not only is Hang an excellent student, but she is also actively involved in social activities and scientific research. In October 2025, her research project, "Studying the current situation and proposing solutions to improve the effectiveness of health and personal hygiene education for Ruc ethnic minority children (Chut ethnic group) in Quang Binh province," won second prize in the 2025 Science and Technology Award for students in higher education institutions. At the award ceremony, the petite Ruc student stepped onto the stage, her voice trembling: "I hope that this project will be implemented in practice soon, helping Ruc children become healthier and more confident when they go to school."

Dr. Pham Thi Yen, Head of the Early Childhood Education Department, Faculty of Primary and Early Childhood Education, Quang Binh University, commented: “Hang has great inner strength and is constantly improving. Her research topic is practical and deeply humane.” Approaching graduation, Hang hopes to return to her village to teach the children. To her teachers, Hang is an exemplary student; to her villagers, she is a source of hope; and to the Border Guard, Hang is proof of the journey of sowing the seeds of knowledge and faith in willpower and compassion.
