Hung Dao Dai Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan (1230 - 1300), born in Kiep Bac, Hung Dao commune, Chi Linh district, Hai Duong province; hometown in Tuc Mac village, My Loc district, Nam Dinh province. He is a national hero, a great cultural figure in Vietnamese history, a general who truly put absolute faith in the strength of the entire people with the motto "taking the people's strength as a plan, deep roots and strong roots" as a strategy for building and defending the country. Under his leadership, the army and people of Dai Viet won victories at Chuong Duong, Ham Tu, Van Kiep, Bach Dang, driving the Yuan-Mongol army out of the country. He was appointed by King Tran Nhan Tong as Quoc Cong, Commander of the naval and land forces. His whole life was devoted to the country's military art with heroic works such as "Van Kiep Bi Tong Truyen Thu" "Hich Tuong Si"... which are still passed down to this day.
