Simply because our country is an agricultural country, rural life and the lives of farmers have a strong impact on the country's development. And in the joy of welcoming the Lunar New Year of the Ox 2021, Nguyen The Trung, former Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization and former Secretary of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, wrote:
