DEFENDING THE NATION
Phan Dinh Phung — Resolve rooted in Dong Thai
Born in Dong Thai village, now in Duc Tho commune, Ha Tinh; led resistance from Vu Quang.
Discover the Ha Tinh patriot associated with the late nineteenth-century Huong Khe resistance.
Phan Dinh Phung (1847–1895) came from Dong Thai. Joining the Can Vuong movement in 1885, he gathered resistance against French colonial rule with a base at Vu Quang.
His memorial house in Dong Thai and grave on Ne Son hill provide places to learn and remember. Read the interpretation, respect the setting and retell history carefully.
Places to understand the story
Consider the Phan Dinh Phung memorial house in Dong Thai and the grave on Ne Son hill; check local visiting guidance.
