2. Legend of “Double Mountain” and poem of the same name

*”The mountains are still two, but I lost you”

Legendary love

Misty Twin Mountains

Poetry echoes forever

In the heart of a young man on the road……”*

(Vu Cao)

The poem “Doi Nui” was composed by poet Vu Cao during his treatment at 74 Hospital in Soc Son. He had heard stories from his teammates and villagers of Phu Linh about a girl who heroically sacrificed herself in Nui Doi to protect a group of cadres when she was only about 20 years old. At that time, much of the real story surrounding her private life and revolutionary activities was little known. And so the story that people handed down with admiration and pride created a legend for the younger generation later.

Doi Mountain witnessed the tragic mourning and carved heroic examples of our army and people. Up to now, the evidence around the Twin Mountain is still there with lave boots, Temple of God, Double Mountain, French boots..

Returning to the Twin Mountain, now two mountains are still there, the regenerated forest trees have covered the avalanche slopes with the smell of gunpowder. The mossy posts have become a place to play hide and seek for children… In the memories of the people here, the most talked about thing is the legend of the girl from the Twin Mountain.
