# Revolutionary Development in An Xuyen

A landscape sheet headed 'An Xuyen builds the countryside' says that in 1966 the provincial government gave special help to New Life hamlets housing people who fled remote areas, and blames the loss of their homes on 'the rapacious Communist gang'. Photographs show cadres roofing a thatched house, digging a road, and building schools. The tell is the single sentence of attribution, which assigns the cause of the displacement to the opponent in one loaded phrase while the images show only construction.

AN-XUYEN BUILDS THE COUNTRYSIDE

IN 1966, THE AN-XUYEN PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT PARTICULARLY HELPED THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN THE NEW LIFE HAMLETS, SUCH AS PEOPLE TAKING REFUGE FROM THE COMMUNISTS WHO CAME BACK FROM FAR-OFF, REMOTE AREAS. THEREFORE, BUILDING NEW LIFE HAMLETS IS THE CENTRE OF THE WORK OF THE RURAL CONSTRUCTION CADRE TEAMS, TO HELP THE PEOPLE FIND AGAIN THE WARM ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS THAT WAS LOST BECAUSE OF THE WRETCHED SCENE OF WAR CAUSED BY THE RAPACIOUS COMMUNIST GANG.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND RURAL CONSTRUCTION TEAMS HELP WITH MATERIALS AND HELP PEOPLE TAKING REFUGE FROM THE COMMUNISTS TO BUILD HOUSES IN THE NEW LIFE HAMLETS.

SO THAT THE PEOPLE OF THANH-PHU A NEW LIFE HAMLET CAN GET AROUND CONVENIENTLY AND EASILY, THE RURAL CONSTRUCTION CADRES OF AN-XUYEN PROVINCE GO OUT TO DIG EARTH AND BUILD UP THE ROADS AGAIN.

THE NEW SCHOOL OF SONG CAI 2 NEW LIFE HAMLET, HOA THANH VILLAGE, QUAN LONG DISTRICT, HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED UNDER THE RURAL CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME.

5 MORE CLASSROOMS OF THE 'THIEN MY' PRIMARY SCHOOL OF NEW LIFE HAMLET 11, TAN-XUYEN VILLAGE, QUAN LONG DISTRICT, ARE BEING BUILT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN TAKING REFUGE FROM THE COMMUNISTS.
