To be proud of the history

Rua isle, a peaceful countryside in Thanh Hoi commune is the origin of an excellent commando of Hero of the Armed Forces, Colonel Tran Cong An. On March 19th 1967, he commanded the battle of Ba Kien bridge' watchtower, a new way of fighting; and then President Ho Chi Minh signed the Decree to establish Special Forces Corps.

During resistance wars to regain peace and independence, our army and people fought with solidarity, dedicated themselves for the country, sacrificed for the national independence. Remembering and being grateful to the sacrifice of previous generations on this island, Youth Union branches participating in this activity visited and presented gifts to Vietnamese heroic mother Nguyen Thi Dinh in Tan Hoi hamlet, presented four gifts to policy families having difficult circumstances; burnt incense to commemorate heroic martyrs.

This commune has a community library in Thanh Hiep hamlet. This is a life's work of Mai Song Be, former Director of Radio - Television, Chairman of Dong Nai Province Journalist Association. As a child born in this Rua isle, Mr. Mai performed this work in order to widen knowledge, cultivate reading culture of everyone, and educate the young generation about the sovereignty of Paracel and Spratly archipelagos that have been a part of Vietnam for a very long time.

Inside the library is full of books. Mr. Mai also introduced well-known men who contributed to the Southern region; and there are thousands of books, which are intellectual assets that he has accumulated over the past few decades.

Here also has a very unique road of maps. The road in front of the library is impressive with ancient ceramic maps that show the sovereignty over sea and islands of Vietnam. This map road is about 500m long and comprises 40 maps made of ceramic material. These maps were extracted from book named "Hoàng Sa - Trường Sa, luận cứ và sự kiện" (Paracel - Spratly, arguments and events) of researcher Dinh Kim Phuc. The maps were made of ceramic material, have subtle and clear lines. This work strengthens the love of islands, the homeland and this cultural beauty here.
