Village patriarch Senh is tasked with protecting the 4km-long borderline from Che Lau hamlet to Landmark No.325. Being born in Pa Hoc border hamlet, Pu Nhi commune, in 1990, he moved to Che Lau village. Spending most of his lifetime living in the area, he bears in mind each landmark from No.322 to No.325 and the shared borderline with Vieng Xay district, Huaphanh province, Laos. Therefore, he is well aware of his responsibility to protect the national borderline and landmarks and to help border guards safeguard the national sovereignty over border area.

Meanwhile, he is an active member of all emulation movements and activities in the locality. In 2006, his family and local people wholeheartedly supported border troops to transport materials to build roads and border landmarks.
Lieutenant Colonel Truong Van Hai, Commander of the Border Post of Na Meo International Border Gate, said that Village patriarch Senh has assisted them in performing tasks in the area.
