His extended family is considered the 'red seeds' in the resettlement area with 14 people being Party members...

Before moving to Thanh Son resettlement area, Thanh Chuong, Mr. Luong Van Dao's family lived in Kim Tien commune, Tuong Duong district.

In his old hometown of Kim Tien, Mr. Luong Van Dao had 14 years of dedication and participation in the commune-level government; (10 years as vice chairman and chief of the commune police; 10 years as vice chairman and deputy secretary of the commune party committee). After retiring, Mr. Luong Xuan Dao was still enthusiastic about mass organization work and was elected by the people as chairman of the Kim Tien Commune Elderly Association.

In 2006, responding to the State's policy of resettlement to implement the Ban Ve hydroelectric project, Mr. Dao's family was one of the first exemplary households to leave their old hometown and move to a new place, the resettlement area of ​​Thanh Son commune, Thanh Chuong district.

In his new place, although life was still difficult, Mr. Luong Van Dao still followed the party wholeheartedly. He encouraged his family members and villagers to plant acacia, cassava, and rice to store food and stabilize their lives. He himself was always exemplary in all activities of the village and continued to be elected as the chairman of the Kim Chuong Village Elderly Association. With extensive experience in participating in local government work, Mr. Luong Xuan Dao has become a model party member for his children and grandchildren to follow, a prestigious person trusted by the villagers.

Talking about his father, Mr. Luong Van Dau said: "Although he has been retired for a long time and is old, my father is still very enthusiastic about the villagers; he is always interested in the work of the village and the Party cell. He still participates in Party activities regularly and always supports and encourages his children and grandchildren to strive to be admitted to the Party."

It seems that Mr. Luong Xuan Dao's enthusiasm and steadfast love have created the motivation to encourage his children and grandchildren to strive in their studies, work and careers, and for those who come after to follow the example of those who came before. Therefore, his family has 3 generations (4 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, 5 grandchildren and 2 sons-in-law) who are all party members.

Currently, Mr. Dao's eldest son, Luong Van Dau, is the secretary of the Kim Chuong village party cell.

Mr. Dao's three other sons, Luong Cong Can and Luong Van Thom, both work at Huong Tien Primary School in Ngoc Lam Commune; Luong Van Tam, graduated from Law University and is currently a judicial officer in Xieng My Commune, Tuong Duong District.

Mr. Dao's extended family is also praised by the people in the area for their tradition of studiousness. Many of his grandchildren have graduated from university and college and have stable jobs, such as Ms. Luong Thi Diem: graduated from Hue University of Medicine, working at the Health Station of Hanh Lam Commune (Thanh Chuong); Mr. Lo Dai Nhat (grandchild) studied at the military academy and is currently working at the Military Command of Do Luong District...

Talking about the way of educating his children and grandchildren, Mr. Luong Van Dao said: "I am a good example both in work and in daily life, so my children and grandchildren look up to me and follow my example." In addition, he knows how to inspire and create solidarity in the family, so his children and grandchildren know how to proactively advise each other to strive and improve in life.

In addition to participating in government work, Mr. Luong Van Dao is also active in business and economic development. His family regularly raises 4-5 cows, has a fish pond, and a hill garden with nearly 1 hectare of acacia; in the garden there are usually about 20 beehives that provide sweet honey all year round.

Dedicated, exemplary in life, diligent in business and economic development, Mr. Luong Van Dao has been honored twice and attended the conference to report on typical examples in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's moral example in Thanh Chuong district.
