“A few decades ago, to get to Lung Lá - Nhà Thể, you had to cross narrow dirt roads that were muddy in the rainy season and dusty in the dry season. Now, there are wide, straight concrete roads extending to every hamlet. Sturdy bridges across canals and ditches have replaced the makeshift wooden bridges, making it easier for people to travel and for goods to circulate,” Mr. Lưu Văn Hưng, from Trần Ðộ hamlet, proudly shared.

The rural landscape of the Provincial Party Committee's base area in Lung Lá - Nhà Thể is changing day by day, transforming into a livable countryside.

Having lived in this area for over 70 years, Mr. Hung has witnessed the development of his homeland more than anyone else. Since the national power grid was connected, the lives of the people in the Provincial Party Committee's base area at Lung La - Nha The have changed dramatically. Convenient amenities such as televisions, air conditioners, fans, internet access, and motorbikes—things that were once considered luxuries in the old base area—are now present in every home. Children study in spacious, well-equipped schools; student attendance is 100%, contributing to raising the intellectual level of the people and laying the foundation for the long-term development of the homeland.

Taking advantage of the region's natural resources, the local people have developed successful models such as integrated shrimp and crab farming, and sustainable rice-shrimp intercropping, bringing stable income. Many families have risen out of poverty, built sturdy houses, and purchased modern amenities.

The Lung Lá - Nhà Thể Base Area has been renovated and is now a significant site for educating the younger generation about revolutionary traditions.

Mr. Truong Minh Luan, Head of Tran Do Hamlet, said: “Currently, there are no more poor or disadvantaged households in Tran Do Hamlet. Houses are built solidly. Proud of their heroic revolutionary homeland, the people are competing in labor and production to improve their lives day by day.”

The people of the base area in particular, and Thanh Phu commune in general, are very proud that the commune was recognized by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee as achieving the new rural standard in 2020 and the advanced new rural standard in 2024. This is the second out of 10 communes in Cai Nuoc district to achieve the advanced new rural standard.

After more than 20 years since its separation from Luong The Tran commune, the Party Committee and people of Thanh Phu commune have joined forces to build a locality that has achieved remarkable development. Currently, the commune has a transportation system connecting it with neighboring communes; inter-commune and inter-hamlet roads ensure that cars can reach the commune center and hamlet offices. In particular, National Highway 1 runs through the commune, facilitating traffic and creating momentum for further development. The average per capita income in 2024 was 72.65 million VND.

Mr. Nguyen Van Chung, from Tran Do hamlet, happily said: “When the commune was recognized as achieving advanced new rural standards, I and the people here were very happy. There is nothing more joyful than seeing our homeland changing day by day. This is also thanks to the Party, President Ho Chi Minh, and the generations of our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and blood to win independence and freedom, so that we could have what we have today.”

Alongside economic development, local authorities and residents consistently preserve and enhance the historical site as a way of showing gratitude to their ancestors. This is not only a place for educating the younger generation about traditions but also a destination for historical tourism.

Mr. Tran Chi Linh, Secretary of the Thanh Phu Commune Youth Union, shared: “The historical and cultural relic site of the Provincial Party Committee Base at Lung La - Nha The is a significant location for educating the younger generation about revolutionary traditions. Proud to be children of this heroic homeland, the youth of Thanh Phu always strive to study and compete to contribute their youthful energy to building their homeland.”

Lung Lá - Nhà Thể today is a vivid testament to the rebirth of this heroic land, once a arduous revolutionary base, now transforming into a livable, prosperous, and happy rural area, embodying the principle of "drinking water, remembering the source," and repaying gratitude.
