Vietnam is facing one of the world’s fastest rates of population aging. Yet, regrettably, many people still adopt a “wait until the last minute” mindset, only paying attention to old age when illness and declining health are already looming.
More than 40 years after the fierce fighting during the defense of Vietnam’s northern border, Pinh Village in Thanh Son Hamlet, Thanh Thuy Commune, is gradually coming back to life. Once an important forward rear base that received and treated thousands of wounded soldiers, Pinh Village is now taking on a new look, with rice fields, maize fields and community-based tourism activities steadily developing.

For years, a paradox has persisted: while businesses struggle to secure land for production, people face difficulties accessing housing, and many infrastructure projects require land to get off the ground, in many areas, allocated land remains unused or is put into use only slowly.

At the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Department of Tuyen Quang Provincial General Hospital, every unit of blood donated by the public undergoes a strict process of reception, testing, screening, separation and storage before being supplied to patients. The work requires medical staff and technicians to maintain a high level of precision at every step, as behind every test sample lies the health and life of a patient.

Assessing officials in a practical manner, with work products and performance results serving as key measures, is being implemented across Tuyen Quang Province. The approach is expected to help overcome formalistic and equalized assessments, while encouraging officials to think boldly, act decisively and take responsibility for their work.
The rapid development of social media has brought numerous benefits, but it has also left the digital space facing a growing problem of “digital waste,” fake news and cyberbullying. Sensational content, abusive and insulting behavior, and the dissemination of unverified information to attract views not only distort ethical standards but also have negative impacts on users’ mental well-being, particularly young people.
Immediately after the start of the new school year, parents in several provinces and cities, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Dong Nai and Dak Lak, have been struggling to purchase textbooks for their children.
