About 20 km from the center of Van Lang commune, the concrete road is 2.5 m wide, 25 cm thick, sturdy, winding along the mountain like a big python. It passes many steep passes and was built a few years ago under a special project named 2037 of Thai Nguyen province invested in Ten village, where 150 H'Mong ethnic households live far away and the highest terrain in the commune, so the people of Van Lang commune often call it Ten village high mountain.
Ten village people live far from the commune center, far from urban areas, there is not much land for production, the production method is mainly self-sufficient, self-sufficient; the level and awareness of the people are uneven, lacking livelihoods for commodity production; it is noteworthy that in the village there are some people who are not hard-working, their houses are shabby, their lifestyle is backward; the number of households escaping poverty can be counted on the fingers.
Not far from Ten village is Lien Phuong village, where 170 H'Mong ethnic households are in a similar situation.

In particular, from socialized resources, Dong Hy district has purchased roofing sheets, cement, sand, and soldiers to help people repair their houses.
Mr. Duong Van Minh in Ban Ten hamlet confided: “Due to difficult family conditions and my advanced age, my family has had to live in a temporary house with uneven floors and yards for many years. In recent days, despite the erratic weather, with the spirit of “overcoming the sun and overcoming the rain”, many times the soldiers’ clothes were soaked with sweat and rainwater but they still urgently helped my family to firmly roof the house, pave the floor, and clean the yard. My family is very touched and grateful.”
In recent days, officers and soldiers of Brigade 601, Brigade 575 and the General Staff of Military Region 1 have helped 35 households in two hamlets, Ban Ten and Lien Phuong, replace roofs, pave floors, pave yards, and reinforce clean, sturdy walls. No households have to live in temporary houses anymore, making people's lives more secure and civilized.
The 3m wide, 25cm thick concrete road surrounding Ten village has just been completed by the army, and some branch roads leading to people's houses have also been hardened, helping people travel conveniently.
Soldiers used dynamite to break rocks, excavators and manual labor to open a new 1.2 km long, 3 m wide road from Mr. Ngo Van Khinh's family to Bo Chinh ginseng growing area, making the villagers very happy and excited.
Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of Van Lang Commune, Hoang Xuan Truong, happily said: "Recently, some people have cooperated to grow Bo Chinh ginseng, and businesses have purchased all the stems, flowers, leaves, and roots at high prices, bringing good income to growers. The army's help in opening new roads to large areas of land will contribute to exploiting the potential, promoting the development of Bo Chinh ginseng cultivation, expanding the cultivation of this medicinal herb, opening up new, long-term livelihoods, helping the H'Mong people in Ten village escape poverty sustainably."
During the days when officers and soldiers of the 601st and 575th Brigades and the General Staff of Military Region 1 were among the people, working together, accompanying each other, overcoming the harsh weather and difficulties; always upholding the spirit of serving the people to help the locality expand and renew roads, help households repair houses, do mass mobilization work, mobilize people to enthusiastically produce and build a better life, making the local people admire the good qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers.
