Huoi Moi 1 village has 49 households and 376 people of Mong ethnic group, one of 8 Mong villages in the highland commune of Tri Le (Que Phong). This is a typical residential area in deploying and implementing the campaign "All people unite to build a cultural life" with remarkable achievements.

After crossing the 20 km of young forest from the commune center, nearly an hour of climbing on a narrow path, many sections almost vertical, passing the Bu Hoc Heaven Gate with an altitude of over 2000 meters, Huoi Moi 1 village appeared before our eyes with the peaceful Sa mu wooden-roofed houses on the cloudy mountain slopes. It was the harvest season, very busy, but when hearing that there were visitors to the village, the Party Secretary Va Ga Vu, the Head of Tho Chia Chu village, together with the Deputy Head of Va No Xo and the village elder Ly Tong Xua - Member of the Tri Le Party Committee Executive Committee, also the head of the Ly family in Huoi Moi 1, still took the time to lead us to visit each household in the village.

Huoi Moi 1 Village, Tri Le Commune (Que Phong) |
It is easy to see that the paths in the village are regularly cleaned by the people so they are very clean. The village has 49 households, 376 people belonging to 4 clans; Tho, Ly, Va, Xong, in which the Tho clan is the majority, followed by the Ly clan. For generations, the clans here have been very united with each other. With 22 hectares of land for rice cultivation, 17 hectares of crops, but due to the weather characteristics, only one crop can be produced each year, so the food issue is of concern to the Party cell and the village executive committee to realize the goal of building an advanced residential area. Under the direct leadership of the Party cell, there are 7 Party members; they have done a good job of mobilizing people to develop livestock production to stabilize and proactively source food and foodstuffs.
All families have farms with specific plans to develop livestock and produce crops and food crops. They mainly raise buffaloes, cows, goats, pigs and poultry such as chickens and ducks. Here, people still preserve the Mong chicken breed - a precious breed with black meat, bones and skin, which is very valuable in the market. Currently, the whole village has nearly 400 goats, 355 buffaloes and cows, and every household has at least a few pigs. Many households are good at raising cattle with a herd of over 30 cows such as Mr. Ly No Va - 70 years old, Tho Giong Chia - 60 years old, Ly Nhia Xong - 50 years old... These are typical examples of household economic development to overcome hunger and reduce poverty in recent years in Tri Le.
