This time, in Nghia Khanh commune, there are 20 outstanding young people and students who are honored to join the Union. This is one of the activities to celebrate the 87th anniversary of the founding of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931 - March 26, 2018), aiming to educate the tradition of patriotism and revolutionary ideals for young people and team members, contributing to building an increasingly strong Union organization.

On the morning of August 22, 1945, under the leadership and organization of the Nghia Dan District Uprising Committee, thousands of people of three ethnic groups, Kinh, Thai and Tho, from the communes of Cu Lam, Ha Suu, Thach Khe, Nghia Hung... and a large number of workers in rubber and coffee plantations in Phu Quy area, carrying rudimentary weapons such as flintlock guns, sticks, hoes, shovels, spears... gathered at the Tru Village banyan tree (Vinh Lai), raised high the red flag with a yellow star, shouted revolutionary slogans, loudly organized demonstrations to demonstrate power, marched to the center of Nghia Dan district, and took power into the hands of the people. Since then, August 22 has become the traditional day of the Party Committee and people of Nghia Dan district, the Tru Village banyan tree has become a typical historical relic of the Party Committee and people of Nghia Dan district.
