Being a farming family with not very good economic conditions, in addition to farming 7 sao of contracted rice fields, he and his wife also had to increase production and raise livestock to take care of their 4 children's education. However, as the head of the Party Committee, he always spent a lot of time on village and hamlet affairs; from sticking to the fields, wading in the fields, then struggling with the Party Committee to come up with many policies and solutions, taking care of people's lives, and building increasingly prosperous villages.
In 2013, Tho Thanh commune had a policy to expand the Do-Tho-Ma inter-commune road, in which the section passing through Bac Nhan hamlet was more than 1 km long. To ensure the roadbed was 8 meters wide enough, many households here had to clear the embankment and auxiliary works, including his family. With the pioneering spirit of a party member, he encouraged his wife and children to donate 40 m2residential land to open roads without requiring compensation from local authorities.

In early 2016, Mr. Tran Van Nhan's family continued to donate nearly 200 square meters of land to build an inter-hamlet road. |
In early 2016, Tho Thanh commune planned a 5m wide inter-hamlet road, of which the section passing through Bac Nhan is 1,600m long, cutting across the garden of his family and many other families. Faced with that situation, the Party cell, the hamlet executive committee and the front work committee held many meetings to find solutions to overcome difficulties and deploy mass mobilization work, first of all, each party member must uphold the vanguard and exemplary role.
With the spirit of "Party members go first, the country follows", his family once again took the lead in donating another 190 m.2land for the village to open a road. In the era of "every inch of land is gold", his family donated so much land worth hundreds of millions of dong, which is unbelievable for many people. But for Mr. Nhan, it is a normal thing to do, the donated land is considered a gift for future generations.

The movement to build GTNT in Bac Nhan hamlet was learned from by other units. |
Recently, Bac Nhan hamlet started to build 400m of concrete road. In difficult conditions due to insufficient capital mobilized from the people, from his family savings, he voluntarily lent the hamlet 106 million VND without interest to buy 26 tons of cement and pay the workers' wages. Once again, the story of the Party cell secretary was spread throughout the village, creating a strong effect on the local new rural construction movement.
Following the example of Secretary Nhan's family, in just a short time, people in the village voluntarily donated 1,670 m2land, including Ms. Vo Thi Vien, a former Youth Volunteer Force, although living alone, also voluntarily demolished part of her house to make way for the village to open the road. It can be said that the road construction went very smoothly and beyond the expectations of the local government.

Mr. Chu Minh Ly - Secretary of Tho Thanh Commune Party Committee commented: Mr. Nhan's voluntary land donation has made all party members and the masses follow suit. Although the clearance work was very difficult in the past, thanks to promoting the strength of the entire people; people have become more aware of their responsibility in building new rural areas, especially the movement of donating land to open roads and contributing working days has been widely replicated. Thanks to that, in just the first 6 months of the year, Tho Thanh Commune has completed the clearance of 19 km of village roads and is continuing to strive to complete the concreting of rural traffic in 2016.
Not only is he active in his work and donates land to open roads, Mr. Tran Van Nhan is also a typical example of economic development, guiding and imparting experience to people to replicate effective business models. Currently, his family raises 50 laying geese, 2 breeding cows and hundreds of chickens and ducks, earning over 100 million VND each year. Mr. Tran Van Nhan is worthy of the role of an exemplary Party cell secretary, joining hands with people to build his homeland to become more civilized and prosperous.
