About 88 percent of the honoured models areindividuals while the remaining are collectives.
The role models come from all walks of life, from farmers whoexcel in their farm work, war veterans who have helped one another escapepoverty, and outstanding workers. Notably, there are many young talents whowere born in the 90s and are dynamic in the country’s integration period.
The oldest among the exemplars is the71-year-old Vu Van Thuan, who made outstanding contribution to the new-stylerural area building in Hai Duong province.
