Offering incense in memory of Heroes and Martyrs
There is a legendary story, always haunting in the minds of many people about bravery, heroism and holiness – Legend of Tam Co Cave.
Tam Co Cave is located on 20 Quyet Thang Street
On a dreary and cold winter day, the TNXP squad consisting of 4 men and 4 women rushed into a small cave in the middle of the Truong Son Mountains to avoid bombs. That 20-day road seemed to be plowed, the mountains and forests trembled, and when the smoke cleared, people were shocked to realize that the cave entrance had been filled.
Relief tells about the Heroic Sacrifice of CSR Girls
Either way, the comrades could not open the way for the brothers and sisters to return. And just like that, after 9 days and nights of searching in vain, the last breath disappeared into the void.
Then somewhere from above, your sister’s words come back, joining the words of the mountains and rivers: Those who stay, live for us!!!
“Falling body becomes the land of the Fatherland, the
soul ascends to become the national spirit”
Whenever the day of the martyrs’ sacrifices is near, the banana tree in front of the cave will grow 8 heads.
Bananas are 8 bunches, geckos lay 8 eggs, cry for 8 hours and then disappear
Nearly 50 years have passed since the day 8 young volunteers died in Tam Co cave (Quang Binh), Vietnamese people always remember their victories and remember the Martyrs.
Their names have become legends on Route 20 – Quyet Thang.
