Mr. Hoang Cong Toan, a young man who won the Luong Dinh Cua Award:

Contribute to rural youth economic development

As one of 36 rural youth models to win the 19th Luong Dinh Cua Award - 2024 presented by the Central Youth Union, Hoang Cong Toan is the only representative of Hue City youth to stand out with his start-up model of handmade pots.

When mentioning "Toan Pot Hue", many people in the bonsai community in the city as well as the whole country know Mr. Hoang Cong Toan (born in 1992, residing in Sia town, Quang Dien district).

Although he studied Fine Arts at a college, the greatest passion of young man Hoang Cong Toan is creating artistic bonsai. Since he was a student, Toan has entered the bonsai business market and achieved certain results. He always wondered how to create unique pots that are aesthetic and worthy of the value of bonsai. This is what motivated the 9x guy to start experimenting with making his own handmade bonsai pots.

“Starting with a capital of only 10 million VND - a large amount for a student, I made the first experimental products. This process lasted several years before I could produce satisfactory sample products. At that time, many relatives and friends thought I would fail and should return to my old job,” Toan shared.

Not letting down the efforts of those who work hard, Mr. Toan’s hand-crafted pots have gradually gained the attention of many artisans and gardeners because they meet the requirements of aesthetics as well as product quality and functionality. In particular, Mr. Toan’s artistic pot models with themes such as: Four vases, Four sacred animals, “Returning home to worship ancestors”… have created a big buzz and are sought after by many customers.

By August 2022, Mr. Toan officially established a production facility called Hue Hand-made Pots with 6 members. From the initial startup steps, Mr. Toan's production facility has now expanded to a factory of more than 500m2 with 35 employees and produces about 600 handmade pots each year.

According to Mr. Toan, he is very lucky to receive enthusiastic support from authorities at all levels in cultivating and promoting his products. Not only enriching himself and satisfying his passion, Mr. Toan always wants to train and support young people in the locality to learn a trade and have stable jobs.

BSCKII. Hoang Mai Linh, Head of Neonatal Pediatrics - Neonatal Intensive Care, Hue Central Hospital:

The core of the medical profession lies in medical ethics.

BSCKII. Hoang Mai Linh

In July 1975, when the country had just been unified and the people were still overwhelmed with emotion after the victory, Hoang Mai Linh cried out at birth.

Dr. Linh said: My parents both work in the medical field. My mother told me that when I was born, my father was taking care of soldiers' health in the B battlefield. My mother gathered in Ninh Binh to take care of my sister and gave birth to me alone. Our generation has accompanied the country's difficulties after the war. In addition to working at the hospital, my parents still had to work hard to improve their lives. During those years, besides their efforts to make a living, I also heard stories about patients, about medical ethics and the responsibility of doctors. Those simple stories penetrated deeply into my mind, nurturing my love for the medical profession.

Graduated from Quoc Hoc High School for the Gifted in Hue, Hoang Mai Linh studied at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy. After 6 years of studying general medicine, 3 years of residency and 1 year of training in France, young doctor Mai Linh not only has solid expertise but also has the opportunity to access advanced medicine.

After completing her training, Dr. Linh returned to Hue and has been working at the Pediatrics Department of Hue Central Hospital since 2005. Having held many important positions, from specialist, Deputy Head of Department, then Head of the Department of Functional Examination and Exploration of the Pediatric Center to Head of the Department of Neonatal Pediatrics - Neonatal Intensive Care, in every position, Dr. Linh has continuously learned, researched and applied the most modern techniques in pediatric treatment.

Unlike older patients, pediatric patients cannot express their pain, and each case is not only a professional challenge but also a test of patience and dedication. But it is the difficult cases, the days and nights on duty, and the moments of witnessing small lives regaining life that make him love his job even more. The biggest challenge for Dr. Linh and his colleagues is resuscitating extremely premature infants, especially those weighing less than 1kg. Thanks to his perseverance, in-depth research, and application of advanced techniques, under his leadership, the survival rate of these pediatric patients reached 48%, ranking third in the country.

Dr. Hoang Mai Linh is not only a dedicated physician but also a person who is always concerned with the development of Hue's medical industry. In addition to her professional work, Dr. Linh also participates in training the younger generation, sharing her experiences and inspiring young doctors and nurses pursuing a career in pediatrics.

“Our generation is honored to be born and raised after the day our homeland was completely liberated and the country was unified. Living in a heroic homeland full of patriotism (Vinh City, Nghe An Province), I am even more proud of the glorious feats and silent sacrifices of generations of predecessors to have a beautiful homeland and country like today,” said Colonel Le Huy Nghia.

From a young age, Le Huy Nghia vowed to strive to wear the green uniform of a soldier. And that dream gradually became a reality, after completing high school, he passed the entrance exam to the Army Officer School 2. From then on, he was always urged to strive to mature and serve long-term in the army. In the military environment, through many different positions, he always promoted the qualities of "Uncle Ho's soldiers", the tradition of "Solidarity, discipline, absolute loyalty, overcoming all difficulties, excellently completing assigned tasks".

In his current position as Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff of the Hue City Military Command, he constantly strives to study and improve his qualifications in all aspects, promoting his own capacity and intelligence to promptly advise the Standing Committee of the City Military Party Committee and local Party committees and authorities to lead and direct the successful implementation of military and defense tasks.

Colonel Le Huy Nghia, together with the collective leadership of the Party Committee and the City Military Command, focused on educating and instilling in all cadres and soldiers a deep understanding of the two strategic tasks of building and defending the Fatherland. “We believe that tradition will help the younger generation understand the heroic past that many generations have sacrificed to achieve independence and freedom like today; contributing together with the entire Party, the entire army, and the entire people to firmly protect the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in all situations, maintaining a peaceful and stable environment, creating a foundation for building and developing the homeland and country in the new era - the era of national growth...”. Colonel Le Huy Nghia confidently affirmed.
