These days, youth and students of Thanh Giang commune (Thanh Chuong) are repainting faded letters on the tombstones of martyrs. This activity not only contributes to beautifying the cemetery for martyrs, but also has the meaning of educating gratitude to the generations of fathers and brothers who sacrificed for the Fatherland.
Thanh Giang Commune Martyrs Cemetery was built in 2014. This is the resting place of nearly 160 heroic martyrs who are children of Thanh Giang Commune who sacrificed their lives for the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland through the ages. After many years, the painted letters on the martyrs' tombstones have faded and become difficult to read.
