Ben Ro in those days of boiling water and fire, once echoed the hateful screams of the revolutionary fighters. Despite the guns and bullets fired by the French army, the masses of people from Dai Dong and Xuan Lam communes from Nguyet Bong village still enthusiastically crossed the Ro ferry to coordinate with the people of Vo Liet and Cat Ngan communes... to attack the district office. Mr. Nguyen Cong Thuong, a son of his hometown, heroically sacrificed himself right on the river wharf of his hometown. Ben Ro became a familiar place name associated with the struggle on September 1, 1930. In the photo: Ben Ro, Minh Duc hamlet, Vo Liet commune. Photo: Huy Thu |

| The demonstrations and riots on September 1, 1930 paralyzed the colonial and feudal governments and the governing apparatus from the district to many villages and communes. The Red Peasant Association Executive Committee, called “Commune Peasants’ Committees”, was established in 65 villages and operated like the Soviet government, issuing many new policies on politics, economy, culture, etc., bringing benefits to the people. During the revolutionary movement of 1930-1931, Vo Liet communal house was the workplace of the Thanh Chuong Soviet Committee. Photo: Huy Thu |

Mr. Phan To Duc (105 years old, 80 years old in the party, in Vo Liet commune), who participated in the demonstration at Thanh Chuong district office that year, said: "On the morning of September 1, 1930, I woke up early, joined the crowd of people from the communes to Thanh Chuong district office. At that time, I was only 14, 15 years old, because I could read and write fluently in the national language, I was assigned to read the propaganda papers aloud". Currently, Mr. Phan To Duc is a "special" witness of the Nghe Tinh Soviet movement in Thanh Chuong. 90 years have passed, the evidence and witnesses of the 1930 - 1931 revolutionary high tide are still fully present here, further affirming the immortal vitality and pride of the revolutionary homeland that "stood up first".
