His family maintains a herd of 8 cows and several hundred chickens, geese, ducks, etc.

Being proactive in the source of good quality aquatic breeds and livestock and poultry, veteran Nguyen Van Luong's family has reduced a significant amount of expenses. Regarding aquaculture (the main source of income for his family), on average, he sells 50 tons of commercial fish each year, earning about 2 billion VND. The reason he has a stable income from aquaculture is because he has a stable outlet for consumption, commercial carp that meet the partners' standards in terms of weight, quantity, time of supply and quality of fish...

Veteran Nguyen Van Luong “revealed”: Partners in some lowland provinces buy carp from my family to make crispy carp “blankets”. They need any amount of commercial carp, the average weight of each carp, at any time… I can meet their needs. That makes partners trust and cooperate with my family for many years.

Actively propagate and educate revolutionary traditions to the young generation.

Clearly identifying the work of educating the tradition of patriotism and revolutionary heroism for the younger generation as both a responsibility and an emotion, and as the basis for building a healthy environment for the younger generation to study, practice, strive and mature, Mr. Le Quang Thanh, Chairman of the Veterans Association of Lao Cai College, has chaired and coordinated the organization of propaganda activities for students in many forms.

Every year, on the occasion of the country's major events such as the founding day of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Liberation of the South, the National Reunification Day, the Dien Bien Phu Victory, the War Invalids and Martyrs Day, the founding day of the Vietnam People's Army... veteran Le Quang Thanh coordinates to organize talks and propaganda sessions with many topics and contents. Each talk lasts about 90 minutes with about 300 - 400 participants. The program also invites reporters from the Party Committee of the Provincial Agencies - Enterprises, the Provincial Veterans Association or historical witnesses to talk and discuss related contents.

In addition to exchanging and sharing, at the propaganda and discussion sessions, historical documentary films were also shown so that students could better understand the heroic revolutionary stages of the country and people. Along with the conversation and exchange of the guests, students attending the program also asked more questions to clarify the content of their interest or express their thoughts, feelings, and responsibilities towards building and protecting the country in the current period.

The School Veterans Association also coordinated with the School Youth Union to establish social networking pages and groups to jointly deploy propaganda materials, raise awareness, and fight against the "peaceful evolution" and "violent overthrow" plots of hostile forces; actively participate in protecting the Party's ideological foundation, and fight against erroneous and hostile viewpoints.
