DEFENDING THE NATION
Nguyen Dinh Chieu — Writing for the people
Lived and worked in Ba Tri, former Ben Tre, now Vinh Long; not his birthplace.
Ba Tri preserves a patriotic poet, teacher and healer’s legacy.
Nguyen Dinh Chieu settled in Ba Tri in 1862, continuing to teach, heal and write for his community.
His works encouraged resistance and moral responsibility. Ba Tri was his later home, not his birthplace.
Places to understand the story
Visit Nguyen Dinh Chieu’s tomb and memorial in Ba Tri.
