Reputable people in Ke Phay

(Baonghean) - Mr. Bui Cong Ky (Secretary of the Party Branch of Hamlet 5 - Ke Phay, Tien Ky Commune) is one of 17 delegates from Tan Ky district attending the upcoming 2nd Provincial Congress of Ethnic Minorities.

Mr. Bui Cong Ky.

Changing people's perceptions is very difficult due to the strong impact of the market economy, along with outdated customs deeply ingrained in the subconscious and the conservatism of a segment of the population, causing many negative consequences and affecting people's lifestyles. This is a real challenge for the work of preserving and maintaining national cultural identity. Thanks to his personal reputation, Mr. Ky readily and openly shares what he knows and understands with the villagers. He takes advantage of any opportunity—at village meetings, festivals, or when the villagers are focused on production—to disseminate information. Speaking concisely, clearly, and skillfully, he has built trust between the villagers and the Party and government. Besides encouraging the villagers to work hard and develop the economy, Mr. Ky also conveys information on population control and family planning, maintaining security and order, and reminds them of things they need to be wary of and not to listen to malicious individuals.

To date, the ethnic minority people of Hamlet 5 - Ke Phay have raised their awareness and complied with the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws, building and implementing a civilized lifestyle in weddings, funerals, and festivals. Customs such as exorbitant dowry demands, fines, child marriage, failure to register births or marriages, and belief in evil spirits, shamans, and sorcerers when ill no longer exist in the hamlet. They also maintain and promote the good traditional cultural values ​​of their ethnic groups, such as the gong festival, Xoe dances, Lam singing, throwing the ball, and bamboo pole dancing, and organize mass cultural, artistic, and sports activities in the ethnic minority community. As a result, the material and spiritual lives of the people in Hamlet 5 - Ke Phay have improved, and community bonds have become stronger.
