Martyr Le Van Vuong - fought until his last breath in the Nghe Tinh Soviet movement

Martyr Le Van Vuong (Wife) was born in 1902, in a family with a patriotic tradition in Thanh Van commune, Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An province. Later, Le Van Vuong's family moved to live in Ba Son village, Vo Liet commune (now Thanh Thinh commune).,Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An province.

After the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930), under the direct direction of the Central Party Branch of the Central Region, the Conference of delegates of the Thanh Chuong Communist Party cells was held at Tien Son Temple (now in Thanh Long Commune) on March 20, 1930. The conference elected the Provisional Executive Committee of the Thanh Chuong District Communist Party of Vietnam.

The establishment of the Thanh Chuong District Party Committee marked a historic turning point for the patriotic movement of the people of the entire district. After the conference, the District Party Committee assigned cadres to propagate and build Party bases in the localities. At that time, villages such as Thuong Tho, Thanh Nha, Ba Son (now Thanh Thinh commune) were near the district center and were quite safe, so they were soon enlightened by the comrades in the District Party Committee.

On July 13, 1930, under the chairmanship of comrade Dinh Xuan Giai, the Giap Tu Party Cell was established. The cell had 7 party members, with comrade Phan Trong Lien as Secretary. From then on, the villages of Thuong Tho, Ba Son, and Thanh Nha entered a new phase. The Giap Tu Party Cell quickly mobilized the people to participate in mass organizations, organized demonstrations of force to suppress counter-revolutionaries. Comrade Le Van Vuong actively participated and immersed himself in mass activities.

During this time, the struggle movements of the Thanh Chuong people developed strongly, typically the district-wide demonstration on September 1, 1930. From 1:00 a.m. on September 1, 1930, after the drums sounded the command at the high mountain peaks of Xuan Lam commune, Tien mountain (Vo Liet commune), Nguoc hill (Ngoc Son commune) and Sung Bo mountain (Hoa Quan)..., the whole Thanh Chuong district was bustling with the sound of gongs, bamboo clappers and the cheers of the people marching towards the district office.

Under the guidance of the Party cell and the Farmers' Association, the masses from the designated gathering places were organized into teams, led by those holding flags and banners. Red militia equipped with rudimentary weapons were arranged on both sides to protect the demonstrators and prevent the enemy from infiltrating the ranks.

Comrade Le Van Vuong actively participated in the demonstration, contributing to the victory of the struggle that caused the enemy government to disintegrate. The demonstration on September 1, 1930 is considered the starting point marking the birth of the Soviet government in Nghe Tinh - the peak of the 1930-1931 revolutionary movement nationwide.

To protect the Soviet government, mass organizations were constantly strengthened and expanded. The feudal colonial government was extremely frightened, and in order to suppress the revolutionary movement, they brutally suppressed and terrorized the revolutionary soldiers and the people who participated in the struggle and demonstration.

Like the Vinh - Ben Thuy area, the French colonialists placed Thanh Chuong under martial law. The colonial and feudal government established a system of "bang ta" from district to commune and village. They often came to the villages to shoot, kill, arrest, burn houses, and rob.

On October 6, 1930, the legionnaires at Thanh Qua garrison raided Ngoc Lam village to arrest people and rob property. Immediately, drums and gongs sounded, thousands of people from Vo Liet, Cat Ngan, and Dai Dong villages came to surround and overwhelm the enemy. Panicked, the French colonialists opened fire on the people, killing 103 people. After that, they marched back to Thanh Nha palace. Here, many soldiers of the garrison brutally tortured revolutionary soldiers and those they suspected of being communists.

At this time, in the villages of Ba Son, Thanh Nha, and Thuong Tho, most of the hamlets and alleys had footprints of soldiers suppressing the revolution, including legionnaires, blue-clad soldiers, and guards commanded by the French. Therefore, from mid-1931, the struggle movement here gradually decreased, and those who were enthusiastic about the revolution were arrested and killed. The struggle movement in the villages of Ba Son, Thanh Nha, and Thuong Tho temporarily subsided, but the flame of hatred for the enemy and determination to fight against colonialism and feudalism still smoldered in the hearts of every person here. The prestige and influence of the Party organization had spread widely and deeply into the masses.

“

On September 26, 1931 (August 15, Tan Mui year), responding to the call of Thanh Chuong District Committee, comrade Le Van Vuong participated in the struggle and demonstration at Thanh Qua station (now Thanh Chi commune). The enemy fired bullets at the protesters, shooting comrade Le Van Vuong dead when he was only 29 years old.

Comrade Le Van Vuong fell, leaving behind a young wife who was pregnant with their only child and had not yet cried out at birth.

Respecting and being grateful for the great contributions of martyr Le Van Vuong to the revolutionary cause of the nation, the Prime Minister signed Decision No. 1198/QD-TTg dated November 29, 2000 to grant the Certificate of "Fatherland's Gratitude" and was recognized by the Party and State as a pre-uprising cadre. His name is solemnly engraved on the stele at the Memorial House of the Soviet Martyrs of Nghe Tinh 1930-1931 in the premises of the Soviet Museum of Nghe Tinh, serial number 1027.

The life of comrade Le Van Vuong is a shining example of the spirit of sacrifice and fighting to the last breath for the cause of national liberation for generations of cadres, party members, young generations, and descendants to learn and follow./.
