As the central locality of the province, Thu Dau Mot City always pays attention to well implementing the movement "All people unite to build a cultural life" to actively contribute to the results of socio-economic development, improving the lives of people in the area. In order for the movement to become more effective and further improve its quality, right from the first months of 2024, leaders of Thu Dau Mot City have paid attention to the implementation of tasks in this movement.

Tran Bao Lam, Vice Chairman of Thu Dau Mot City People's Committee, awards certificates of merit to groups having outstanding achievements in the movement "All people unite to build a cultural life".

 Good results

Pham Hong Cong's lodging house located in quarter 5 of Hiep Thanh ward is built with a spacious and clean two floors. Lodging rooms are always full of tenants. In particular, the relationship between the landlord and tenants is always close and intimate, they consider each other as brothers.

In the evening, after eating, Nguyen Thi Tien and her husband held their child and sat in the cool air in front of the lodging room door. Living here since 2020, Ms. Tien and her husband said that only when they can afford to buy land to build a house will they move, otherwise they will still choose this lodging house to stay. Sharing about the kindness of the landlord, Ms. Tien said that Mr. Cong and his wife were not only friendly, but also cared about the tenants, such as reducing room rent for tenants during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Every year, on Lunar New Year, his family also reduces room fees, gives gifts, and organizes a year-end party for the tenants. “Mr. Cong and his wife are very friendly and kind. If his family need a hand, they call us over and vice versa. There is no distance between us, we are as close as brothers in the same family," Ms. Tien said.

The affection, friendliness and warmth of the landlord have created a more comfortable and close-knit living space for the lodgers here. These things have contributed to making this lodging house more civilized, safe and orderly. Mr. Cong's lodging house is one of the typical cultural lodging houses that have been commended by the city for three consecutive years (2020-2023). This is also the lodging house chosen by the ward’s administration to implement the "Compassionate Lodging House" program that supports free accommodation for poor patients.  Although a rented room costs from 1.8 to 2.3 million VND/month (depending on room size), Mr. Cong is willing to leave a room empty for patients who come for treatment at a nearby medical facility and need assistance with accommodation, he immediately opens its door to receive them.

Typical examples like Mr. Cong's lodging house have actively contributed to the movement to build cultural lodging houses in Thu Dau Mot City in recent years. In 2023 alone, the rate of cultural lodging house in the city reached 99.94% (1,770/1,771 registered lodging houses). In addition to the movement to build cultural boarding houses, the results of building other cultural titles in the city in the past year continued to be maintained, and some movement contents increased significantly. Namely, the rate of cultural families reached 99.27% (52,615/53,004 registered families), the rate of cultural neighborhoods reached 100% (118/118 neighborhoods); The rate of "Cultural agencies and units" reached 96.1% (219/228 registered agencies, units and businesses)...

Further improve quality

In 2023, Thu Dau Mot City attained positive results in the movement "All people unite to build a cultural life". However, according to the assessment of the city's Steering Committee for this movement, the movement has limitations and shortcomings that need to be overcome, such as the cooperation between the government and departments, branches, and organizations at grassroots level in some places and sometimes not regularly; The quality of the movement is sometimes still formal; Some localities and units have not integrated the movement into the implementation of their political tasks; Although environmental sanitation in boarding houses and public places has been implemented more times than in 2022, there are a few places that have not done well; there is no specific plan to help households to overcome shortcomings, so the quality is not really solid...

To overcome the above shortcomings and limitations, promote implementation and improve the quality and effectiveness of the movement; creating strong and effective changes in building the culture and people of Thu Dau Mot to meet the city's sustainable development requirements in the coming time, Tran Bao Lam, Vice Chairman of People's Committee, Head of the Steering Committee for the movement of Thu Dau Mot City, believes that the City Steering Committee, People's Committee leaders, cultural and social civil servants of wards need to continue to deeply understand Resolution 9 of the 11th Central Committee "On construction and development Vietnamese culture and people meet the requirements of sustainable development of the country"; enhance propagation and raise awareness of party committees, authorities, party members, public employees, and people of all walks of life about the meaning and importance of the movement. Building a new cultural life and a civilized lifestyle is both a goal and a driving force for comprehensive and sustainable development. This viewpoint needs to be concretized by party committees and authorities in the city with specific actions and deeds.

Mr. Tran Bao Lam also said that all levels, branches, localities, the Fatherland Front, mass organizations and the Movement Steering Committee at all levels need to continue to disseminate and raise awareness of the meaning, importance and standards for recognizing cultural families, cultural neighborhoods, cultural residential groups, agencies, units, and cultural boarding houses; increase the proportion of typical cultural families, typical neighborhoods and residential groups, truly becoming cultural highlights and a healthy cultural environment to develop the movement. In addition, localities and units need to create a strong and solid transformation in building a civilized urban cultural lifestyle; the good implementation of regulations on urban cultural and civilized lifestyle is the basic goal and top criterion to evaluate the effectiveness of the movement.
