Local leaders visit commemorative stele.

65 years ago, soldiers and public gathered together to join in a meeting held in the front of Chau Thanh district’s hall (now Phu Cuong ward). After a flag salute ceremony, Van Cong Khai, secretary of the then provincial party committee, head of Uprising Committee delivered a speech to announce authority belonging to the public. The day of Aug. 25, 1945 went into local history as a bright milestone of the national independence.

The stele is to educate young generation about local tradition.
