Nguyen Bieu's heroic scene.
The commemoration ceremony is an opportunity for everyone to understand and become more enlightened about the life and career, especially the personality, spirit, patriotism, intense hatred for the enemy, along with the tragic death and immortality of the famous person Nguyen Bieu in the history of building and defending the country of our nation. The commemoration ceremony aims to educate the tradition of patriotism for today's and future generations; at the same time, continue to do better in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage values of Nguyen Bieu in Hung Nguyen in particular and Nghe An province in general.
Delegates and people from all walks of life attended the celebration.
The commemoration ceremony reviewed a painful period in the nation's history, as well as commemorated the ardent patriotism and heroic spirit of the patriot Nguyen Bieu. The famous Nguyen Bieu was from Binh Ho village, La Son district, Nghe An town (now Yen Ho commune, Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh province). He passed the Thai Hoc Sinh exam at the end of the Tran Dynasty and became an official with the position of Dien Tien Thai Su. When the Ming army invaded, he assisted King Tran Trung Quang De in organizing the resistance.
In 1413, the Ming army attacked Nghe An, and King Trung Quang De fled to Hoa Chau. As the situation became increasingly unfavorable, King Trung Quang sent him as an envoy to negotiate peace.
Faced with the dignified and mature attitude and strong arguments of a righteous man, the enemy general Truong Phu, seeing himself at a disadvantage, arranged a feast of boiled human heads. Without hesitation, Nguyen Bieu proudly spoke to himself as if to tell Truong Phu, “It is not often that Southerners get to eat Northerners’ heads.”
Unable to subdue Nguyen Bieu with words and behavior, Truong Phu used the power of the brutal enemy general. He ordered the execution of the righteous man. Before death, Nguyen Bieu remained steadfast in his integrity, preferring death to never kneeling before foreign invaders. He died on July 1, 1943 lunar calendar in Lam Thanh, Hung Lam commune - Hung Nguyen district.
Also during the celebration, a large number of people in Hung Nguyen district enjoyed an epic performance praising the famous hero Nguyen Bieu performed by artists from the Nghe An Province Folk Song and Dance Troupe... Before the celebration, the Organizing Committee held a consecration ceremony and an announcement ceremony at Nguyen Bieu Temple.
