After joining the Party, Nguyen Thi Hung was assigned the important responsibility of being the Secretary of the Youth Union for National Salvation of the commune. With her prestige, the young Party member became the “leader” of the local youth movement.

In 1953, the resistance war against the French entered a new phase, Nguyen Thi Hung decided to join the army and became an office staff of Anh Son District Team (including Anh Son and Do Luong districts today). At that time, vehicles were not yet developed, so when carrying out tasks, they mainly had to go on foot.

From Anh Son, the female office worker walked to Nam Dan, Thanh Chuong, then down to Nghi Loc, Vinh to carry out her assigned tasks. After being discharged from the army, Ms. Hung got married and returned to Tuong Son commune and participated in the management of the Agricultural Cooperative, serving as Deputy Director in charge of planning and Deputy Director in charge of finance. In these positions, Ms. Hung was always active in planning to promote production, encouraging production teams to enthusiastically achieve many achievements, contributing to stabilizing life and supporting the southern battlefield.

Currently, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hung has been retired for 23 years, but with the sense of responsibility of a party member, she always actively participates in social and union activities. As a member of the Association of War Veterans and the Association of the Elderly, she never misses any activities and movements launched by the association.

Despite her advanced age, she still regularly participates in regular meetings of the Party cell, giving practical contributions, helping the Party cell and the management board solve problems related to the economic and social life of the people in the village. In particular, in the movement to build a new rural area, Ms. Hung has always been at the forefront of mobilizing people in the village to consolidate land, donate land for road construction, contribute materials for rural roads, etc. Therefore, whenever there is an important matter, most of the village cadres and people come to her to ask for her opinion.
