Secretary of provincial Party committee Nguyen Thi Thanh and other officials attended a ceremony marking the anniversary in Dung Thuy village, Xuan Thien commune, Kim Son district. The village has achieved many positive results in implementing the drive "All people unite to build cultural life" over recent years. All of the Dung Thuy residents are Christian, with agriculture as their main job. The number of well- off households in the village has increased over the years, while the rate of poor and near-poor households has fallen to only 7%; 100% of the households have access to electricity and clean water supply.

Notably, Dung Thuy has well carried out the campaign on building new style rural areas. The residents have donated VND500 million (đổi ra USD) and over 500 square metres of land for the construction of roads and other public works. Nearly 89% of the local households have met the criteria to be recognised as a "cultural family".
