He said that Doctor Asaba was the one who enthusiastically and selflessly helped Phan Boi Chau and his comrades during the difficult days in Japan in the early 20th century. In 1917, when Phan Boi Chau returned to Japan to visit his loyal friend, Doctor Asaba had passed away. Missing his friend, with the help of Higashi villagers, Phan Boi Chau erected a memorial stele to commemorate Doctor Asaba. Photo: Dao Tuan. |
