  • Vietnam is pursuing a development model focused on improving citizens' quality of life and ensuring equitable access to development's benefits, rather than solely prioritizing economic growth.
  • A 71-year-old veteran in Hanoi reflects on the nation's transformation and expresses hope that the "socialist commune/ward" model will lead to tangible improvements in infrastructure and community well-being.
  • The ultimate goal of development is defined not by a single metric, but by factors like family well-being, education, healthcare, stable employment, and community cohesion.

Vietnam is striving to achieve the ultimate happiness of its people by renovating its development model, shifting the focus from pure economic growth to enhancing the quality of life for all citizens. The nation aims to ensure that everyone fairly benefits from the fruits of development, reflecting a desire for a better life across the country.

One resident, 71-year-old ฤoร n Ngแปc Cฤƒn from Hanoi, has witnessed Vietnam's journey from wartime hardship to its current state of development. As a veteran, he deeply appreciates the nation's significant transformation over the decades. He views the pilot "socialist commune/ward" model, chosen for his locality, not through abstract concepts but as a practical means to improve people's lives.

Simply put, when entering this model, the people's lives must continue to improve, and everything must change for the better. Electricity, roads, schools, stations, social infrastructure must change, be invested in more synchronously to serve the people's lives.

โ€” ฤoร n Ngแปc CฤƒnExplaining his understanding of the 'socialist commune/ward' pilot model and his expectations for its impact on daily life and infrastructure.

"Simply put, when entering this model, the people's lives must continue to improve, and everything must change for the better," Cฤƒn stated. He anticipates improvements in essential infrastructure such as electricity, roads, schools, and healthcare facilities, all to better serve the community. Beyond physical infrastructure, Cฤƒn also hopes for positive changes in social interactions, cultural life, and the sense of responsibility each citizen holds towards the community.

Cฤƒn emphasized that individual contributions are vital, stating, "Each class, each person in their position must do their part well, thereby contributing to creating a collective, building a better society together." He sees the selection of his commune for this pilot model as both an honor and a responsibility, inspiring him and his family to live up to the city's choice. For him, happiness is a multifaceted concept encompassing the growth and education of children, the well-being of citizens through healthcare and education, a stable life, and the continuous development of his homeland.

Each class, each person in their position must do their part well, thereby contributing to creating a collective, building a better society together.
