Hanoi's appearance is increasingly prosperous
Talking to Kinh te & Do thi Newspaper, Chairwoman of Cau Giay District Former Youth Volunteers Association Le Thi Hoi commented that in recent times, the appearance of the capital has been increasingly prosperous, with many changes, greener, cleaner, more beautiful; more spacious, civilized, and modern. "For example, in Cau Giay District, Dich Vong Hau Ward where I live, traffic roads and infrastructure are increasingly invested and developed. Hopefully, in the coming time, Hanoi will continue to develop the capital more comprehensively, step by step modernizing" - Chairwoman of Cau Giay District Former Youth Volunteers Association believes.
Ms. Le Thi Hoi was born in 1953, her hometown is Dich Vong commune, Tu Liem district, now Dich Vong Hau ward, Cau Giay district. 52 years ago, in July 1972, following the call of the Fatherland, she and more than 100 women from Tu Liem district joined the Youth Volunteer Force to fight against the US and save the country, belonging to Company C2653-N265, Hanoi General Team. Her unit was stationed in Ha Bac (old), with the task of unloading goods at Dap Cau station to support the South.
After that, her unit continued to carry out missions in other areas such as Yen Vien key station (Gia Lam), Yen Bai station (Yen Bai)... She and her teammates, together with other units, loaded tens of thousands of tons of goods to free trains from enemy bombardment, and participated in the restoration and maintenance of damaged railway sections. Under the rain of bombs and bullets, the female Youth Volunteers still steadfastly completed their missions well...
In 1967, Mr. Pham Dinh An (Hang Dao ward, Hoan Kiem district) joined the Hanoi N51 Youth Volunteer Team to fight against the US and save the country. The team had 420 members, divided into 3 companies with the code name C511: including Youth Volunteers of Dong Anh district and Hoan Kiem area; C512 including Youth Volunteers of Thanh Tri district, Tu Liem district and Ba Dinh area; C513 including Youth Volunteers of Gia Lam district and Hai Ba Trung area, Dong Da area. Immediately after its establishment, this force was present on National Highway 1A - Route 70 to clear goods at stations, serve the traffic at ferry terminals, and transfer ammunition to anti-aircraft artillery positions.
“Joining the C511 company, I specialized in building roads and clearing traffic for units. We, the Youth Volunteers, were young at that time but were ready to dedicate ourselves to the independence and freedom of the Fatherland,” shared former Youth Volunteer Pham Dinh An.
At the age of 82, Mr. Pham Dinh An is still very clear-headed and healthy. Having lived in Hanoi for many years, he is happy because the appearance of the capital is increasingly prosperous, developing, and the urbanization rate is fast but still retains the thousand-year-old cultural identity.
“The biggest change that everyone notices when coming to the capital is the increasingly synchronous and modern investment in traffic infrastructure. Roads are being designed and built, creating a spacious appearance. Hanoi is developing rapidly, expanding roads, and many changes in infrastructure, making us extremely honored and proud to witness the changes in the capital” – former Youth Volunteer Pham Dinh An shared.
Rural areas have many clear changes
During the heroic historical years, the activities of the Youth Volunteer Force have contributed significantly to the victories of our army and people in the resistance wars to protect the Fatherland. When peace was restored, the Youth Volunteer Force continued to contribute to the process of rebuilding the country and promoting socio-economic development.
As typical former Youth Volunteers of Hanoi attending the Rally to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Liberation Day of the Capital (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2024) on September 20 at the Hanoi Intellectuals Palace, former Youth Volunteers Nguyen Thi Mau (80 years old, living in Hoa Thach commune, Quoc Oai district) and former Youth Volunteers Nguyen Thai Lac (75 years old, living in Phu Kim commune, Thach That district) expressed their excitement at the changes in the capital Hanoi over the past 70 years.
According to former Youth Volunteer Nguyen Thi Mau, in recent times, Hanoi has paid special attention to those with meritorious services and policy families. Social security has been ensured, people's lives have been improved and continue to be improved. Thereby, people's trust in the Party, State and government has been increasingly enhanced, creating new momentum and strength for Hanoi to develop rapidly and sustainably.
“We are Youth Volunteers, ready to dedicate ourselves to the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. When the country is at peace, living in the Capital, we are extremely happy and excited to witness many achievements, and the Capital is growing stronger and stronger” - Ms. Nguyen Thi Mau shared.
Meanwhile, former Youth Volunteer Nguyen Thai Lac said that not only in the inner city, the face of rural areas has also changed significantly. The new rural construction program in the districts has received special attention from Hanoi and achieved many important results.
“With the strong development, when Hanoi expands its administrative boundaries, we in the old Ha Tay area merged into Hanoi will also benefit from the policies of the capital. We hope that Hanoi will continue to pay attention and promote investment in building transport infrastructure in rural areas, improving the material and spiritual life of the people” - Mr. Nguyen Thai Lac shared.
Chairman of the Hanoi City Association of Former Youth Volunteers Nguyen Van Dinh said that, implementing the policies of the Party, the State and Hanoi City, many activities towards the 70th anniversary of the Capital Liberation Day have been launched and implemented by the Hanoi City Association of Former Youth Volunteers, including the special emulation movement "Former Youth Volunteers of the Capital - the journey to follow Uncle Ho's teachings".
