89 years ago, about 8,000 Hung Nguyen residents organized a large-scale demonstration. When they reached Thai Lao, the enemy sent planes to bomb the demonstration, killing 217 people and injuring 125.

Although the demonstration was brutally suppressed, the brave spirit, noble ideals, and heroic sacrifices of the Soviet martyrs of Nghe Tinh will forever be a shining example to encourage and motivate the people to build their homeland to become more and more prosperous and strong.

Laying wreaths and offering incense, provincial leaders expressed their respect and deep gratitude to the heroic martyrs and predecessors who fell for the cause of national liberation.
