Party cell secretary "practice goes hand in hand with words"

(Baonghean) - That is the criterion that Mr. Le Van The - Secretary of Phong Yen Hamlet Party Cell (Hung Hoa - Vinh City) always set for himself throughout his life of working and dedicating. From the time he was a teacher until his retirement as the hamlet Party Cell Secretary, he always strived for the common interests of the collective. For him, a party member must always set an example in all circumstances...

Having held the position of Principal of Binh Son Secondary School, Anh Son from 2003 to 2008, in 2010, when he retired and returned to his hometown Phong Yen (Hung Hoa), Mr. Le Van The did not allow himself to rest, because according to him, as long as he is healthy, he can continue to contribute.

When he first returned to his hometown, the children of Phong Yen hamlet gathered every night to play, and thefts often occurred in the hamlet. And one thing that surprised him was that the youth union seemed to be inactive, and there were almost no outstanding youth movements in the hamlet. Worried about this situation, in the monthly party cell meetings, he proactively discussed with the Party Committee and the government to come up with solutions to promote the hamlet's movement. With his dedication, responsibility and bold but highly feasible proposals, he was elected by the villagers to hold the position of Secretary of the Phong Yen hamlet Party cell for the 2012-2015 term.

As a teacher and the President of the Association of Former Teachers, the first task he embarked on was to "revive education". He discussed with the Party Committee, the executive committee of the hamlet, and organized the "study drum beat" movement. According to him, this movement is not new, but if implemented vigorously, it will improve the learning quality of the children in the hamlet. At first, people were still unfamiliar with the 2 times of 6 drum beats at 5 am and 7 pm every day, followed by the radio announcement of the secretary: "It is now 7 pm, please sit down at your desks to study".

He went from house to house to encourage the children to sit at the desk to study, the drum beat gradually became effective. The children felt ashamed of the secretary's dedication and paid attention to their studies, the grandparents and parents were also touched by the heart of the village leader so they "strictly disciplined" their children. As a result of the efforts of the Party cell secretary, the synchronous participation of the hamlet executive committee, and the response of the people, the "drum beat of studying" in Phong Yen really became regular, the study results of the children in the hamlet had clearly improved. In 2012, for the first time in the hamlet, 5 children passed the university entrance exam, 2 children entered the province's specialized school, many of them were good students. Seeing the success of this model, the Party Committee and the government of Hung Hoa commune launched the spirit of learning the model in the whole commune.

Besides studying, what Party cell secretary Le Van The is most concerned about is the security and order situation in the hamlet. Being an area bordering Nghi Thai and Phuc Tho communes, and having an inter-commune road, every night, the youth in the hamlet gather to cause disorder and insecurity, thus creating opportunities for theft. To overcome this situation, Mr. The proactively advised the Party Committee, mobilized internal resources of the people in the hamlet, assigned the Youth Union force as the core to install and complete the lighting system; discussed with the Party Committee, coordinated with the local police, established a security and order team, patrolled the hamlet to protect security; arranged guard posts with barriers to prevent strangers from entering the village without reason or identification papers. Thanks to that, the theft situation has decreased significantly, people feel secure in working and producing, and the youth are obedient and focused on studying. After 3 months, the hamlet organized a preliminary summary of the movement with rewards and penalties, so the people agreed and voluntarily contributed to the hamlet security fund.

Although he has only been in charge of the position of secretary for 1 year, the initial results of the activities implemented by Mr. Le Van The have delighted the people of Phong Yen hamlet. For him, in his position as a hamlet party cell secretary, studying and following Uncle Ho means contributing to changing the face of his hometown, making people's lives stable and their children successful. Words always go hand in hand with actions, in 2013, Party cell secretary Le Van The was honored by the collective as one of 20 exemplary individuals in studying and following Uncle Ho in Vinh City.
