Located at the centre of Vay Nua commune, Duong hamlet is home to 81 households with 325 residents. The Dao ethnic group makes up 98% of the population, while the remainder consists of Muong and Tay people. This year, the hamlet demonstrated strong solidarity by actively participating in movements and campaigns, particularly the “All people stay united to build new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas.” These efforts have bolstered community cohesion and contributed significantly to the commune’s progress in new-style rural development.
Throughout November, other hamlets in Vay Nua commune also held celebrations to mark Great National Unity Day and the Military-Civilian Cultural Day. According to Dinh Thanh Phu, Secretary of the Commune’s Party Committee, these events not only reflect community solidarity and sound cultural values but also enrich the cultural life of the region. This unity serves as a source of strength, enabling ethnic groups to live in harmony, support one another, and overcome challenges in the journey toward building new-style rural areas.
Vay Nua commune, situated along the Da River about 20km from the district center, comprises eight hamlets predominantly inhabited by the Dao and Muong ethnic groups. The commune faces significant challenges, including uneven population distribution, underdeveloped infrastructure, and economic hardship. Currently, 28.57% of households are classified as poor, while 26.2% are near-poor.
Despite these difficulties, the solidarity among the Party organisation, local authorities, and residents has been key to ensuring political stability, social and security order, and economic progress. Residents trust the leadership of the Party and actively participate in campaigns to build new-style rural areas and foster a vibrant cultural life.
Da Bac district, where ethnic minorities make up 89.72% of the population, is home to five ethnic groups living harmoniously while preserving their unique cultural traditions. This diversity creates a rich and dynamic cultural and spiritual life in the region.
As of November 20, all residential areas in Da Bac district had successfully organised Great National Unity Day. Dinh Thi Kieu, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF)’s chapter in Da Bac district, noted that these celebrations were held safely, economically, and effectively. They honoured traditional cultural values, recognised outstanding individuals and exemplary families, and fostered unity between military personnel, officials, and residents, thereby strengthening spiritual foundation in the new cultural life.
