Keep the fire of happiness, join hands for the community

Recently, the movement to build cultural families has received attention and direction from all levels, branches and localities in the province and has seen positive changes. The movement has facilitated the emergence of more and more typical cultural families. Family members not only stick together and love each other, but also join hands to preserve and promote good values of the Vietnamese family.

Actively join hands for the community

More than 10 years ago, Mr. Pham Anh Son (born in 1984) from Quang Ngai province, a student of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, fell in love with a girl, Phan Thi Tham (born in 1984), from Ha Tinh province, student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry. After getting married, the two decided to choose Binh Duong as the place to settle down and build a family.

Talking with us, Mr. Son happily said: "I fell in love with Binh Duong so I wanted to live here for a long time." Then he further explained that Binh Duong not only has favorable weather but also has gentle, friendly people who help each other, creating a very warm and kind-hearted community. Mr. Son also became one of the active members in community charity activities organized by AEON Binh Duong Shopping Center and Thuan Giao ward (Thuan An city).

Currently, Mr. Son and Ms. Tham's family are living on Thuan Giao 05 Street (Thuan Giao Ward, Thuan An City) and are one of the typical cultural families of this locality. Ms. Tham eagerly said that she and the women in her neighborhood often call on each other to clean up Thuan Giao 05 Street and now this street has been recognized as an "Urban Civilized Street", so every time they join hands to work for the road, everyone is very happy.

Sharing the secret to keeping the fire of happiness in the family, Mr. Son said that conflicts are like a glass of hot water, if you blow a few breaths it will cool down immediately. Therefore, he often makes up first to make family members happy. With the thought that husband and wife must respect each other and share responsibilities, their home is always full of laughter. A happy moment is after dinner, while the children relax, the husband and wife clean up and together help their children to study online, do homework... and dream of a brighter future ahead.

Saying goodbye to us, Mr. Son said that his family had been honored at the Conference praising and honoring outstanding families of trade union members and women members held by the Provincial Labor Confederation in coordination with Provincial Women’s Union at the Provincial Cultural and Labor Center. According to Mr. Son, this is also the motivation for his family to strive harder in the future.

The secret to maintaining the happiness of a talented family   

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Sinh (born in 1980), from Thanh Hoa province, came to Binh Duong to live with his family in 1984, is a worker at My Phuoc Industrial Park (Ben Cat City), and Ms. Tran Thi Bich Tram (born in 1987) is a teacher at Hoa Mai Kindergarten (Phu My ward, Thu Dau Mot city). They have been together for 16 years and have 2 very cute children. The whole family recently represented Thu Dau Mot City to participate in the 2024 typical cultural and sports family contest of Binh Duong province hosted by Provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and excellently won first prize of the contest "Talented family".

Ms. Tram said that this was the first time they took part in a provincial competition, so the whole family was very excited and had many more happy memories, understood each other, and bonded more with each other throughout the practice of their short play The Language of Happiness authored and directed by Huy Quang La. Through the story of the short play, family members want to convey to everyone many meaningful messages in building a happy family. "The happiest are the members who have successfully completed their roles, won the tears of the audience and the judges, and were especially surprised to win the top prize," Ms. Tram said.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sinh said that the contest is a very meaningful and useful playground because it creates conditions for families in the province to meet, exchange culture, arts, sports and share experiences in building a happy family. Although I was very nervous while acting, I was very happy as the whole family successfully completed the role, giving everyone suggestions to take better care of and raise their children.  

For this talented family, the secret to keeping the fire of happiness alive is that in a family of husband and wife, children must know how to respect each other, be equal, listen to each other's opinions and overcome personal limitations. In addition, members must know how to care for and love each other from the smallest actions. Currently, their family is practicing the short play The Language of Happiness to continue joining other families in the province for the upcoming typical cultural and sports family competition in the Southeast region.
