Creating new momentum from the character of the people of Nghe An.
(Baonghean) - We often say that culture is both a goal and a driving force for development. For Nghe An, to create new momentum in socio-economic development in the new year, it is necessary to thoroughly understand and creatively apply the above perspective.
Culture encompasses all material and spiritual values created to serve humanity; it represents the level of civilization and measures human dignity; it plays a role in regulating behavior and relationships between people through social values and norms, through culture, and this regulation aims to improve the quality of life, leading to a more prosperous, equal, and happy life.
When we talk about culture, we are talking about people. Each ethnic group, region, and locality has its own unique culture that shapes the character and essence of its people and land. The character of each person and each region has a significant influence on the development and success or failure of each individual and each region.

Nghe An possesses the character and essence of the Nghe An people. The fundamental traits of the Nghe An people are intelligence, a thirst for knowledge, diligence, resilience, and a pioneering spirit. Farmers endure the harsh sun and rain, working in the fields until dawn and returning home when it's too late. Workers are always enthusiastic, working overtime and extra shifts, undeterred by hardship and difficulty. If these qualities are utilized in the right place, at the right time, and in the right way, they will be a powerful force driving development.
Because no company, factory, or enterprise would want a workforce lacking these qualities. Diligence and perseverance lead to increased product output. Intelligence and a thirst for learning enable quick adaptation to new production processes and technologies, resulting in higher product quality. Resilience and a refusal to back down in the face of difficulties help companies, factories, and enterprises overcome challenging periods and continue to move forward.
Another prominent characteristic of the Nghe An personality is extremism. When they love someone, they love them unconditionally, helping them to the fullest extent, even at the cost of their own well-being. They will see things through to the end. Extremism has a downside: it can easily lead to a loss of composure and a lack of objective and fair judgment. The positive aspect of extremism is that it allows people to see things through to the very end.
Therefore, everything will be resolved in the most efficient way. The products created will be unique and of the highest quality, generating distinctive values that are not easily imitated or copied. Thus, if these qualities are utilized in labor and production, a unique competitive advantage will be created that no other region possesses.
At that time, industrial or agricultural products originating from Nghe An will be trusted by customers because of their unique quality and characteristics. This will create new appeal, new momentum, and new development in the Nghe An style, deeply rooted in Nghe An's spirit. It will form a brand of development.
