Beloved friends……

Reminding to our liberate, anti the imperialist and the traitor at Muang Hom for 30 years ago which was prolonged. That made the bravery and durable people who sacrificed since 1948 after someone revolute and arouse us. The revolutionary officers told us to movement for establish country, to enlightenment the ways to fight correctly, including their spirit and loved their hometown, aggressive to the colony. People in Muang Hom such as the owner shop and the chief wakeful and volunteered to participate the revolution. After that, Muang Hom became the station of revolution at the Northeast of Vientiane.

Passing through the fighting movement in each period, there was some trouble because the enemies took the tricks with us such as intimidate, sneak, attack for terminate the revolutionary procession. Tribal people of Muang Hom just not only surrender them, but they decided to arouse their children be soldiers, to resist their attack. It can say that the more enemies aggressive, the more revolution bigger. Since there were the secret soldiers, that made us have the local soldier. The administrative officers pointed us to protect and secure our country forever. There were local soldiers, the parties and the administration in direct people battle and prevent their country.

It means during three periods of battle in anti-colonial and anti-imperialist, people of Muang Hom devoted to the party and to their country persistently, determinant and patient towards the obstacles and the difficulties. They were harmoniousness, helped each other when it’s starving, when the enemies burning home, people left their money to the officers, to the local soldiers, to the government soldiers who were the party’s soldiers without any charge.

Along the enemies’ movement, people of Muang Hom attended to increase the products by themselves, protected themselves even they were so far from the center and sometimes cannot contact from the outside. Besides, the tribal people attended to study hard in read and write and create their new lives.

From their works, their goodness and their bravery as the above mentioned, it should cerebrate the honor day to be history in releasing their country, dissolved the democracy system and established the Lao People’s Democratic Republic on 2 December 1975.

The party-government and the tribal people in the country had memorized the obligation and the smartness of people in Muang Hom. The party-state used to praising them especially after establish the new system, there were many departments received the praises in different level. The special was in the National Hero Meeting and the National Championship, first time in 1979. the party center and the government agreed to given the Honor to Muang Hom to be National Hero City. And in this occasion, given the Medal of National Hero to Naoletorchongche and Leeyangle and given the Medal of Honor for Championship to Leoimalor, Tongmengwachong and Khawpaotor. Besides, the departments received the Honor by succession. After the country had released under the party’s directions, the authority of Vientiane and the administrative authority and people in Muang Hom was still resist the enemies patiently.

However, the bravery of people in Muang Hom for more than 30 years of th revolution, had not finished yet. Therefore, it should research and follow again, this time had 2 villages 5 persons receiving the Honor to be national hero, there were 11 houses and 48 persons receiving the Honor to be national championship.

The departments and the persons who received the Medal of National Hero and National Championship, used to pass the test of fighting. They sacrificed everything for the revolution. They were the sample of warriors, serving for the front, created the area at the rear.

The Honor ornament ceremony certified that our party government cared and followed up the goodness and the bravery of the tribal people throughout the country especially for the people in Muang Hom towards their country during 30 years ago.

Beloved friends……

According to the party’s policies related to the new situations in developed economy and social enlargement. At present time, Muang Hom was separated to be two city as follows :- Muang Hom and Muang Longxane. Both cities depended on special area Xaysomboon.

Up to the present now, although Muang Hom was divided to be two cities, but the party, the administration, the people of two cities must inherit their harmony, ready to protect their city and preserved their bravery, assisted each other, developed their economy, culture-social, according to the conclusion of the rural development.

The important problem was should be conscious towards the enemies’ tricks, towards bad people who made us difficult things, who made us misunderstand in the party’s direction and in the government, should not trust someone easily, should not separate the tribe. Contrarily, it should develop their country following the schedule, the special project, made people life-living be better, should adjust the politic of each city to be stable.

Finally, should caring in protection our nation and secured the peace, created the conditions for making people work for living, saving the goodness of the officers, the party’s members, the warriors and people in Muang Hom. People in Muang Hom in the past should love their country, love the new system, made the hero became to develop their country.

Blessing you healthy.
