[Highland-language text, not transcribed] SP-1633 ``` English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader) ``` RURAL CONSTRUCTION WORK IN CHI LANG VILLAGE [Highland-language headline, not transcribed] Pouring concrete is work that demands a lot of labour, so the Rural Construction cadres are lending a hand together with the compatriots to carry it out. Under the Rural Construction programme, the compatriots in Tri Tin hamlet (Chi Lang) have contributed their effort to the work of building the bridge. A woman of the hamlet contributes her labour to the bridge-building. With the help of the authorities, the people have devotedly contributed to the work of building the hamlet. The monkey bridge across the stream made the people's travel in Tri Tin hamlet (Chi Lang) difficult and obstructed. [The Vietnamese text reads 'cây cầu khỉ' (monkey bridge), a plank or pole footbridge.] The Captain, Province Chief of the Rural Construction cadres, is together with the head of the Tri Tin hamlet construction committee inspecting the bridge in the self-help project. The people in the hamlet (Le Nghia) eagerly take part in the hamlet-building work.
