With the excellent policies of the Party and State, the efforts of authorities at all levels and especially the efforts of the people, Xuan village, Son Thuy commune (Quan Son district, Thanh Hoa province) has truly "changed its skin and flesh", poverty has gradually been left behind.
Shining in the mountains and forests
After a journey of nearly 1 hour, passing through steep mountain passes, winding under the canopy of old forests, Xuan village appeared in a narrow valley. Behind the trees were dark brown roofs of houses, interspersed with red corrugated iron roofs.
Compared to 5 years ago, the traffic infrastructure in Xuan village has improved significantly. The road that used to be a rough path through the forest has now been 80% concreted. Smooth traffic has contributed to fundamentally changing the appearance of a village that was considered to be particularly difficult among the 11 mountainous districts of Thanh Hoa.
Welcoming us in a rather spacious house with a red corrugated iron roof imitating tiles, Party cell secretary and village chief Sung Van Cau said: “The Spring village is now very different. The Mong people here no longer migrate, no longer have to beg for rice to relieve hunger every time the lean season comes. Electricity, roads, schools, and stations are all available, and children have been able to learn to read and write to bring science back to the village.”
Just about 5 years ago, to get to Mua Xuan village, people had to spend more than 2 hours, struggling with the road up and down the pass, from the commune center to the village. Without electricity, no phone signal, Mua Xuan village is like another world, isolated in the middle of the deep mountains and forests. In the rainy season, the only dirt road leading to the village becomes an obsession, a torture... The economy of the people mainly depends on the forest and a small area of rice fields along the dry stream. Almost no year has the villagers stored enough food for the whole year. "Children going to school is a difficult and strenuous journey. Many children have to drop out of school because they do not have enough conditions. When sick, the sick have to stay home and endure or struggle to cross the mountain road to get to the commune center, many cases have not survived" - Mr. Cau recalled.
But in just the past 5 years, Mua Xuan village has changed. Not only has the infrastructure been invested synchronously, but there have also been many changes in all areas of life. From a few dozen households, Mua Xuan village now has 124 households with 573 people. According to Mr. Cau, the factor that changed the villagers' lives most clearly was in 2021, when the road from Son village to Che Lau village and the internal routes of Mua Xuan village were completed, along with the national grid reaching 3 Mong villages. Having electricity and roads has helped the people's lives improve a lot compared to before.
Change in thinking
“The root of the problem here is the effectiveness of the Party and State's support policies for Mua Xuan village. In particular, from that effectiveness, the production mindset of the villagers has truly transformed and changed every day. The people no longer have the heavy mentality of waiting and relying on the State, along with that, backward customs are gradually being eliminated. At this rate, the day the Mong people in Mua Xuan escape poverty will not be far away" - Party cell Secretary Sung Van Cau affirmed.
We visited the family of Mr. Thao Van Nhia - a poor household supported by the State to build a house according to Directive 22 of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee. In the house still smelling of new paint, Mr. Nhia shared: “My old house was dilapidated, not strong enough to protect against rain and wind. Thanks to the State's attention and building of a new house, I am very happy. With a solid house now, from now on my wife and children will focus on making a living to escape poverty.”
Talking about the changes in Xuan village, Mr. Le Hong Quang - Chairman of Quan Son District People's Committee said: The Mong ethnic minority villages all have rugged mountainous terrain, far from the center. With the efforts of local authorities and authorities, along with the implementation of programs and projects, in recent years, they have contributed to improving the appearance and improving people's lives. "We have mobilized, propagated and encouraged people to apply science and technology in production, helping the average income in 2024 reach 18 million VND, 3 times higher than in 2020. Along with the development of the economy, the health, education and culture aspects have also been improved. At this rate, the day when people escape poverty will not be far away" - Mr. Quang said.
