With a tradition of studiousness and academic achievement, Dong Thai is among the 20 most scholarly and civilized villages in Vietnam. It is also the starting point of the Nghe Tinh Soviet Uprising (1930-1931) in Duc Tho; the red flag with the hammer and sickle of the Party was twice raised over the village communal house in Dong Thai.
Vo Hong Hai, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, and Hoang Xuan Hung, Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee, presented flowers to congratulate Dong Thai village.
To date, after 410 years of formation and development, Dong Thai still preserves historical relics and temples commemorating the sons and daughters of the homeland who have made contributions to the village and the country. Currently, Dong Thai village has 259 households with over 1,000 inhabitants; more than 100 professors and doctors.
Throughout history, the officials and people of the village have united and strived to build a more civilized and prosperous rural community.
