New houses spread love

Providing housing support to people with meritorious services is a practical action demonstrating the morality of “When drinking water, remember its source” - a precious tradition of the Vietnamese people. In the northern mountainous communes of the province, many new houses have been and are being completed, contributing to further igniting the belief and affirming the responsibility of local authorities towards those who have sacrificed and contributed to national independence...

Mrs. Vu Thi Pham (over 90 years old, in group 2, Cho Moi commune, mother of a martyr) in the new house that was just supported to be built.

Over 90 years old, Ms. Vu Thi Pham in Group 2, Cho Moi Commune (mother of martyr Vu Van Hung, who died in the Border Campaign in 1979), lives quietly in a small house built in 1989.

The old house, with its palm-leaf roof, had endured many storms and typhoons. Typhoon Yagi in 2024 forced her family to evacuate when floodwaters rose above the house’s foundation.

With blurred vision, hard of hearing, and increasingly weak health, she often sat silently for hours by the wooden door, thinking about her son who would never return.

This year, Mrs. Pham’s family was able to move into a new, sturdy house thanks to support from the temporary housing program. Her son, Mr. Vu Van An, emotionally shared: This house not only helps my mother have a decent place to live, but is also a great spiritual encouragement for the family.

Also living in Cho Moi commune, Ms. Luc Thi Hue, a former youth volunteer who participated in the resistance war and did international missions, has had to live with her husband in a damp house with a leaky roof and cracked walls for many years.

The certificates of merit and First Class Resistance Medals that she once cherished are now moldy because of rainwater seeping in. However, she never complained and always tried to overcome difficulties.

Mrs. Hue said: This year I am very happy to receive support to build a new house. These past few days, my family has been clearing the ground and preparing to start construction.

The houses that have been and are being completed not only improve the living conditions of the households, but also demonstrate the deep gratitude of the Party, State and local authorities to those who have contributed to today's peace .

Mr. Luong Van Ngan, currently living in Cho Don commune, has also just received support to build a new house. Mr. Ngan emotionally shared: I never thought I would be able to live in such a solid house. This is the recognition and deep affection that the Party and State have for those who have devoted themselves to the Fatherland.

In the northern communes of the province, the movement to eliminate temporary houses and support housing improvement for people with meritorious services is being urgently and resolutely implemented.

The family of Mrs. Luc Thi Hue (a former youth volunteer in Cho Moi commune) is preparing to build a new house.

According to statistics (old Bac Kan province), in 2025, more than 100 households with meritorious services will receive housing support; of which 87 households will build new houses and 15 households will repair them.

The gradually completed houses not only help people improve their living conditions but also spread deep affection in the community.

Mr. Trieu Tien Trinh, Secretary of the Cho Moi Commune Party Committee, affirmed: We consider this an important political responsibility, a part of the work of "Repaying gratitude". Each completed house is a gratitude, a spiritual gift sent to the families who sacrificed and contributed to the country.

From Cho Moi to Cho Don, in residential groups to highland villages, sturdy houses are being completed, marking changes in the lives of those with meritorious services. They are not just places to live, but also warm homes of affection, symbols of gratitude and close attention from the Party, State and local authorities.

The journey of "Repaying gratitude" will continue, with practical actions like this, so that no one with merit has to live in dilapidated houses...
