Proud of tradition
Since ancient times, the land of Hung Nguyen has been inhabited by ancient Vietnamese people. Through thousands of years of history with many historical events, ups and downs and changes in administrative boundaries and names; in the year of Ky Suu 1469, when King Le Thanh Tong issued an edict to re-define the map of the whole country, the name Hung Nguyen was born. "Hung" means development, prosperity and "Nguyen" is the beginning. In practice, this land has an important position; for many centuries it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Nghe An town; convenient waterways in developing trade with Japan and China. More than 5 centuries ago, King Ly Thai To opened a camp to set up a temporary camp; King Ly Thanh Tong built a temporary palace; Emperor Quang Trung stopped here before marching to the North...
This is also the land of “spiritual land and talented people”, the homeland of famous people and revolutionaries such as the late General Secretary Le Hong Phong; revolutionary Pham Hong Thai; Minister Dinh Bat Tuy; patriotic reformer Nguyen Truong To… Hung Nguyen land is the “origin” of 3 great people: the maternal hometown of President Ho Chi Minh’s mother; the ancestral hometown of Emperor Quang Trung and patriot Phan Boi Chau.

Hung Nguyen was also one of the revolutionary cradles in the Soviet - Nghe Tinh climax of 1930 - 1931. The demonstration of tens of thousands of Hung Nguyen farmers on September 12, 1930 was the peak of the Soviet - Nghe Tinh climax, leaving a brilliant milestone in the history of the Vietnamese revolution. During the two resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, along with tens of thousands of people going to fight and serve in the battlefields, those who stayed behind also actively produced and provided food for the frontline and coordinated forces to fight against the destruction of American imperialism in order to cut off the supply line from the North to the Southern battlefield passing through Hung Nguyen.


Effort for the present
Pride in the historical, cultural, revolutionary traditions and belief in the meaning of the name Hung Nguyen as "the source, flowing forever, prosperous and developing" has urged generations of cadres, party members, and people of Hung Nguyen to be steadfast, determined, and make efforts to develop their homeland.
The task that the Party Committee, the government and the entire political system in Hung Nguyen district have focused on leading and directing with great efforts and great political determination in the past time is the destination of the new rural district. Accordingly, in addition to the responsibility of the steering committee for new rural construction at the district level, each district leader in charge of the field and the departments, offices and units at the district level, based on their functions and tasks, have closely followed the area, closely followed each specific criterion content to direct; focusing on difficult contents and areas to mobilize the total strength of the entire political system to participate.

The direction method, according to comrade Le Pham Hung - Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the District People's Committee, is to clarify the tasks, work, and collective and individual responsibilities of the leader; any difficult place or task must be thoroughly discussed within the collective to agree on a solution and when there is a solution, it must be resolutely directed to implement. For example, to bring the last commune - Hung Yen Nam to the new rural finish line, in addition to the resource support policy, the district organized the mobilization and reinforcement of 2 district officials to take on the role of Party Committee Secretary and Chairman of the Commune People's Committee to directly direct; associated with assigning specialized departments, offices, the Fatherland Front and district-level organizations based on their functions, tasks and strengths to join the commune to complete each criterion. Similarly, to bring Hung Nguyen town to the civilized urban standards, the district accompanies and joins the town to remove each difficulty and obstacle.
In directing, all levels focus on implementing the motto: "People know, people discuss, people do, people inspect and people benefit", promoting the spirit of solidarity and high consensus among the people".

The Chairman of the District People's Committee added: In the direction, all levels focus on implementing the motto: "People know, people discuss, people do, people inspect and people benefit", promoting the spirit of solidarity and high consensus among the people. Thereby, people are willing to sacrifice personal interests, donate land, donate property, contribute money, working days along with resources attracted from outside to synchronously build a system of transportation, irrigation, schools, medical stations, cultural works, sports, lighting, rural environmental landscapes... Within more than 10 years of rural construction, the total mobilized capital in the district is more than 4,000 billion VND; of which, people contributed more than 1,000 billion VND, accounting for 26.5%.
Building a new rural district, Hung Nguyen district focuses on restructuring the agricultural sector; increasing the attraction of investment projects in production, creating jobs, and improving income for people. Currently, in Hung Nguyen, there are hundreds of agricultural models applying high technology in cultivation and livestock farming, many of which have a revenue of 2-3 billion VND/year. The locality is interested in creating conditions for the development of enterprises and cooperatives in the area with hundreds of enterprises and cooperatives producing and doing business effectively. In particular, VSIP industrial park continues to expand investment and 45 projects have been granted Investment Registration Certificates; of which, 29 projects have come into operation, creating jobs for more than 16,000 local workers.

Mr. Ngo Quang Ngo, in Nam village, Hung Tan commune, expressed his joy and excitement: “Not only is the landscape and rural living environment clean, beautiful and spacious, but the quality of life in each family and each person has changed a lot, becoming more fulfilled, leisurely and happier. Even in agricultural production, there is no longer the hustle and bustle of “working in the sun and dew”, “getting dirty with feet and hands” because of the complete mechanization from land preparation to harvesting, even drying rice is not required when farmers sell fresh rice right in the field. The average income per capita in the district reaches 52 million VND/year and the poverty rate has decreased to 1.49%”.
Not only is the landscape and rural living environment clean, beautiful and spacious, but the quality of life in each family and each person has changed a lot, becoming more fulfilled, leisurely and happier.
