The name of Hamlet 19/5 is not a coincidence. May 19 is the birthday of President Ho Chi Minh , who sacrificed his whole life for national independence and the happiness of the people. Using Uncle Ho's birthday to name the hamlet shows the love and special honor that the Party, government and people here have for him.

Uncle Ho's photo was solemnly placed on the altar by the people of Hamlet 19/5.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Hung, former Chairman of Khanh Binh Commune People's Committee, recalled: "Before 1982, the hamlet was called Chon Gam Hamlet. In 1982, Chon Gam Hamlet was merged with Rach Bao Hamlet. Around May 10, 1982, when discussing the name of the new hamlet, many opinions said that the congress took place in early May, close to Uncle Ho's birthday, so it was agreed to name the hamlet Hamlet 19/5".

That name has become a source of pride and a constant reminder for the people here to constantly strive, live well, do good things, study and follow Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style. "Although in the South we have never met Uncle Ho, everyone here respects him wholeheartedly. Naming him like that is not only for today's generation but also for future generations to always remember Uncle Ho," Mr. Hung shared.

According to Mr. Hung, before the hamlet did not have any brick houses, most of them were makeshift thatched houses. Learning and following Uncle Ho, the people competed in labor and developed production to improve their lives. “This land was purely agricultural, previously only growing one rice crop per year. When we mobilized people to switch to two crops, it was very difficult at first because the people were already poor, afraid that the conversion would not be effective and they would lose all the rice seeds. At that time, party members had to do it first, whoever had land converted themselves. When they saw the effectiveness, people started to follow. Thanks to that, income increased, and life improved significantly. At that time, the hamlet did not have a black dirt road, we mobilized people to pour red dirt to make a road, each household contributed a section 1.5 m wide and 3 m long. Thanks to that, there was a road for children to go to school, people could travel without mud,” Mr. Hung said.

Over the years, the government and people here have always united and made efforts to build a new cultural life, develop production, maintain security and order, and care foreducation , health care, and social security. Everyone and every household join hands to build their homeland. Poverty reduction work has achieved positive results, children have been able to study fully, and the rural landscape is becoming more and more spacious and beautiful. All of these are vivid proofs of the realization of Uncle Ho's teachings.

Ms. Nguyen Hong Tham, Head of Hamlet 19/5, shared: “The hamlet has eliminated all poor households since the end of 2024. Currently, there are only 3 near-poor households, which have been supported to build houses and are expected to escape poverty by the end of this year. As a descendant, I am very proud and grateful for the achievements that our ancestors have built. As the hamlet chief, I hope to contribute my efforts to help my fellow villagers build a richer and more beautiful homeland.”

Walking around Hamlet 19/5 today, it is easy to feel the obvious changes, tiled roof houses instead of makeshift houses, smooth concrete roads instead of muddy paths of the past, people are enthusiastically working and producing. Mr. Pham Trong Si, Deputy Secretary of the Khanh Binh Commune Party Committee, said: "In addition to growing rice, people in Hamlet 19/5 also take advantage of the pond surface to raise fish, just take short-term to feed long-term, and it is very effective. Now this hamlet is the most developed in the commune, every household hears them talking about their plans to develop the economy , grow this tree, raise that animal... to increase income".

As a former revolutionary and a member of the Veterans Association of Hamlet 19/5, Mr. Du Hoang Viet has always been at the forefront of production. “When I was healthy, I did all kinds of jobs, both to increase my family’s income and to teach my children and grandchildren. Now that I’m old, I’ve retired to teach my children how to do things,” Mr. Viet smiled gently. Thanks to his dedicated teaching, his children have continued the achievements their father left behind. The thriving fish ponds and vegetable gardens are the result of his many days of hard work.

Learn from Uncle Ho, a veteran in the locality, to produce and set an example for his children and grandchildren to follow.

For the people of Hamlet 19/5, the whole hamlet has over 350 households, without anyone telling them, every house has a picture of Uncle Ho hung solemnly, as a reminder, expressing infinite gratitude for the beloved Uncle, thereby expressing the wish and action of studying and following Uncle Ho, firmly believing in the Party, building the hamlet to develop more and more./.
