The joy of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hung when receiving the title of 65 years of Party membership.

Actively participating in activities and having a talent for propaganda, Nguyen Thi Hung was loved by the people in the area and trusted by the organization and superiors. Up to now, more than 65 years have passed, Mrs. Hung still remembers very clearly October 12, 1949, the day she was admitted to the Party.

Ms. Hung shared: “When I first joined, our Party was operating secretly, every meeting had a guard, only at the last minute did we know the time and location. Although it was difficult and dangerous, we always tried to overcome it, everyone was determined to complete the task well.” 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 the assigned tasks. After being discharged from the army, Mrs. 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, Mrs. Hung always actively planned to promote production, encouraged production teams to enthusiastically achieve many achievements, contributed 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 union and social activities. As a member of the Veterans Association and the Elderly Association, she does not miss any activities and movements launched by the association.

Despite her advanced age, she still regularly participates in the 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 new rural areas, Mrs. Hung is always at the forefront of mobilizing people in the village to consolidate land plots, donate land for road construction, contribute materials for rural roads... Therefore, whenever there is an important matter, most of the village cadres and people come to see her to ask for her opinion.

In 2014, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hung was honored to receive the title of 65 years of Party membership. She shared: “When I joined the Party, I did not think about titles. I am proud to have followed the Party my whole life, always loyal and maintaining faith in the Fatherland.”
