For a purely agricultural commune of nearly 160 km2, with a population of nearly 31,000 people, living mainly by growing rice, cassava, raising cattle, poultry and small businesses, that is a huge loss. Mr. Phuong Van Lanh, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoa Thinh commune, has not forgotten the life-and-death moments when floodwaters flooded. Located on the Banh Lai and Trong river systems, the low-lying terrain causes many villages such as Phu Huu, Phu Phong, and My Dien to be deeply flooded after just a few hours. There are places where the water rises so fast, it floods the roof. The loss of life is an irreparable pain. But even in the most fierce moment, the Dong Khoi spirit of Hoa Thinh people rose strongly, resiliently overcoming the harshest natural disasters to rebuild their homeland. A special campaign, Operation Quang Trung, was launched by the Prime Minister when he visited and encouraged the people of Hoa Thinh on November 29, to support the people in rebuilding their homeland. housing, providing materials to restore production, Mr. Lanh shared.

Hundreds of officers, soldiers, militia, youth union members and people from the entire commune joined forces to clean up the environment. Trucks, plows, and tractors operate around the clock, removing thousands of blocks of waste, destroying hundreds of dead livestock, and disinfecting the environment. Flood mud was raked up, swept away, cleared of roads, canals, and cleaned schools. We call this a campaign because of its urgent nature. What must be done so that people have a house to live in, have seeds to plant, and regain confidence right on the land that was just devastated by the flood, Mr. Lanh emphasized. The promise to have a new house before Tet is realized by the determination of the soldiers of Military Region 5 to overcome the sun, overcome the rain, working day and night. 117 completely collapsed houses were promptly rebuilt. 44 major repairs and 112 minor repairs were also completed before the new year. In addition, the commune is continuing to build 45 more old, degraded houses (not due to floods) from mobilization sources, with a cost of 4.5 billion VND to ensure long-term settlement for people.

I will never forget those two days and nights. The flood came so quickly. The house was quickly submerged in water, all our property was gone. My husband and I and our grandchild clung to a small boat to a higher house to take refuge. At this age, I thought I was truly empty-handed, Mr. Khanh recalled. However, what he did not dare to think about became reality. Just a few weeks later, on the old ground, a new house was built. Solid, tall, with a sturdy floor to avoid floods. I didnt expect to have a new house so quickly. The soldiers came back to work continuously for 20 days to rebuild the house. We promised to preserve this house as a token of our deepest gratitude, Mr. Khanh was moved. Mr. Tran Xuan Hoi in Phu Huu village shared: Previously, I thought the house collapsed and I would take care of it myself, but then the Prime Minister came here to direct, and the soldiers and philanthropists paid attention. The house was built quickly before Tet. I saw I am not alone and am even more aware of the policy of leaving no one behind of our Party and State.

For Hoa Thinh, revival is also about restoring livelihoods and restoring agricultural production. Looking at the rice fields full of life, Mr. Quang Vinh, an official of Hoa Thinh commune, said: Immediately after the flood, more than 2,100 hectares of winter-spring rice were sown promptly. The State supports rice seeds and cash for people to proactively choose suitable varieties. In the fields that were once deeply flooded, rice is now green. Hundreds of cows died because of the flood, leaving a gap.grown up in the barn. Buffaloes are better swimmers so the damage is less, but for farmers, losing a cow means losing their entire industry. In order for people to reproduce, about 100 breeding cows and 20,000 chickens and ducks were allocated. Mr. Vinh added that not only farmers, small business households were also supported with 7-10
