Comrade Phung Chi Kien's real name is Nguyen Vy, born in 1901 in My Quan village, Van Phan commune (now Dien Yen commune - Dien Chau district). He was a member of the Standing Committee of the 1st Party Central Committee, and was assigned by Uncle Ho and the Central Committee to be in charge of the Party's first military. On August 22, 1941, in a battle against the French army's sweep of the revolutionary base in Bac Can province, he was captured by the enemy and later sacrificed his life. On September 13, 1947, President Ho Chi Minh signed Decree 89/SL to posthumously confer the rank of General on Comrade Phung Chi Kien. He was the first person in our army to be conferred the rank of General. In 2011, General Phung Chi Kien's former residence in My Quan village (Dien Yen commune) was ranked by the State as a National Historical Relic.
