Houses bearing the mark of love for the people and the Party in Nghe An

1.Life in the countryside of Thanh Phong (formerly Thanh Chuong district), now Dai Dong commune, Nghe An province, has changed and improved a lot. Houses are spacious, country roads are paved, and there are rice fields and corn fields. People here are always proud that their hometown was once a revolutionary base with the evidence of Dien Trang sui trees and the Nguyen Duy and Nguyen Ich family temples. InNghe Tinh Soviet climaxThanh Phong commune was chosen by Nghe An Provincial Party Committee as a base of operations.

At that time, comrade Nguyen Tiem - Provincial Party Secretary was given the opportunity to work at the upper shrine of the church by Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen Duy Dinh - Head of the Nguyen Duy family.The lower hall became the place for meetings, discussing plans, receiving reports and directing movements.

To ensure safety, descendants of the family organized strict guards, sending out signals when strangers or soldiers passed by. Together with the Dien Trang sui tree, the Nguyen Duy family temple was later rankedNational historic site.

The Nguyen Ich family temple is located next to the Nguyen Duy family temple. At that time, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee borrowed it to print documents such as official dispatches, directives and leaflets calling for struggle. The head of the printing committee was comrade Hoang Van Tam, the first Secretary of the District Party Committee of Nghi Loc District.

A short distance away, the Nguyen Ba family temple was chosen as the place to store and preserve Party documents, and also the place where the Conference on perfecting the organization and implementing the Party Resolution was held, chaired by comrade Nguyen Phong Sac - Secretary of the Central Region Party Committee. Thanks to that, the revolutionary movement grew stronger, especially in Thanh Chuong, Nam Dan and Anh Son districts. The masses everywhere rose up to fight, affirming the spirit of solidarity and invincible strength under the guidance of the Party.

2. Alsohistorical siteThe Hoang Tran family temple in Dang Son (old Do Luong district), now Do Luong commune, was the base of the local party cell in its early days. The Hoang Tran family had many people on the revolutionary side, typically Mr. Hoang Tran Sieu (1870 - 1949) - who refused the titles of the royal court and asked his relatives to use the ancestral temple to open a class to teach and enlighten children in the area.

Mr. Hoang Tran Sieu also stood up to mobilize his descendants and people in the region to protest against the French colonialists' conviction of Phan Boi Chau and Phan Chu Trinh, who were imprisoned by the enemy for "participating in communist activities". After being released from prison and returning to his homeland, he continued his activities and was recognized as a "Revolutionary Activist".

The Party cell in Dang Son was established (March 1930), and the Hoang Tran family temple became a meeting place, a place for printing and storing documents. During the years of the Soviet movement, this place was chosen as a meeting place and also a workplace for the local Soviet government.

One of the “leaders” of the revolutionary movement in Anh Son district at that time was Hoang Tran Tham (1909 - 1931). In 1930, he was introduced and admitted into the Party by comrade Nguyen Phong Sac - Secretary of the Central Region Party Committee, and a while later was elected Secretary of the Anh Son District Party Committee. At the demonstration on June 1, 1930 at Phu Nhuan communal house, comrade Hoang Tran Tham stood up to give a speech, clearly analyzing the nature and evil plots of the enemy and pointing out the path of revolutionary struggle, leading to independence and freedom.

Next, on September 8, 1930, he led the people throughout Anh Son district to protest and fight for the revolution. On April 12, 1931, he was shot by the enemy and died while giving a speech in Hanh Lam (Thanh Chuong).

To honor and remember the contributions to the revolution, in 1994, together with Phu Nhuan Communal House, Hoang Tran Family Temple was recognized by the State as a National Historical Relic. At the same time, 11 families in the family were awarded Certificates of Merit by the Government for their contributions to the country.

And in the church grounds, the family established a shrine dedicated to 65 of their children who sacrificed their lives in the cause of fighting to protect the Fatherland, including 7 martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the struggle period of 1930-1931. In addition, the Hoang Tran family also had 45 pre-insurrection cadres, who were the core in leading the people to rise up and seize power, contributing to the success of the August Revolution (1945).

3. In 1991, Mr. Hoang Vien's house in Chau Nhan commune (formerly Hung Nguyen district), now Lam Thanh commune, was recognized as a national historical relic. At the same time, Chau Son village (formerly Phuc My village) was awarded a Certificate of Merit for "upholding the spirit of patriotism, actively fighting against imperialism, and contributing worthily to the victory of the August Revolution". Along with that, 11 families in the village were also awarded a Certificate of Merit for the country, and 4 families were awarded a Commemorative Medal.

Mr. Hoang Vien was one of the first party members of Hung Chau commune (old), a person with progressive thinking, active in social activities, widely connected and willing to help friends. In July 1930, at Mr. Hoang Vien's private house, the Phuc My Party cell was established, the revolutionary movement increasingly spread and took root in people's lives. Therefore, the Central Region Party Committee chose Phuc My village as a base of operations, especially during the Nghe Tinh Soviet movement.

Behind the village is Nhon Mountain, where comrades participating in the activities can easily retreat when being hunted by the enemy. Mr. Hoang Vien's house became a meeting place, a "base" of the revolutionary movement. The surrounding families were also chosen as places to print documents, newspapers and leaflets such as the houses of Mr. Hoang Tuon, Hoang Em, Hoang Xi. The newspapers of the Provincial Party Committee at that time such as "Lao Kho" and "Tien Len" were published in Phuc My village.

On September 12, 1930, tens of thousands of Hung Nguyen farmers and Ben Thuy workers organized a demonstration and fought fiercely, causing confusion and fear among the enemy. The people and the Red Self-Defense Force of Phuc My village enthusiastically joined the struggle. The Phuc My Party cell also organized rallies and gave speeches to help the people better understand the nature of the colonial-feudal regime, and the revolutionary atmosphere became increasingly heated. On that basis, in December 1930, in Phuc My, the Soviet government was born.

Next, in 1939, during the Democratic movement, comrades Tran Quy, Bui San, Chu Huy Man, and Tran Van Quang returned to Phuc My to gather forces and re-establish the revolutionary base. In 1940, comrade Muoi Cuc (aka Nguyen Van Linh) returned to Phuc My to operate and chose Mr. Hoang Vien's house as the meeting place. Nearly 5 years later, on August 8, 1945, also at this house, the inter-provincial Viet Minh deployed the plan.general uprising to seize power.

The above relics are vivid evidence of a period of fierce struggle under the Party's leadership, helping future generations better understand the close bond between the Party and the people, and between the people and the Party in the process of carrying out the struggle.
