Mrs. Quàng Thị Mai, Me Ban village, Chieng Coi ward, emotionally shared: Receiving a gift from the State, I feel very happy. Although the amount of money is not large, it is the care and encouragement for each family to enjoy the common joy of Independence Day. As soon as the loudspeaker announced the group to receive the money, my husband and I brought our little child along so that later he will remember that the Fatherland always loves and cares for all people, from babies to the elderly.

In remote communes, payment is more difficult, but the sense of responsibility of the cadres is promoted. The border commune of Phieng Pan, with 45 villages and over 24,700 people, has a large population but scattered housing, many villages are far from the center, and the dirt roads are slippery. To ensure the completion of payment to all people before September 2, the commune has established 10 working groups, mobilizing 100 cadres and civil servants to go directly to the grassroots regardless of the night.
