Using AI technology, a group of IT experts have recreated and restored the portraits of 10 heroic female youth volunteers who sacrificed their lives at Dong Loc T-junction (Ha Tinh) exactly 55 years ago. The photo series was released on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27, 1947 - July 27, 2023).
Female volunteers at Dong Loc intersection from an AI perspective
The reconstruction of the portraits of 10 female youth volunteers who died at Dong Loc T-junction (Ha Tinh) is part of the second phase of the project to digitize the "digital heritage" of martyrs, which a group of information technology experts have started to implement since around March 2023. Based on the remaining photos, the experts will use artificial intelligence to reconstruct each part of the portrait, before putting the characters into a specific context. In the photo, martyr Vo Thi Tan (born in 1944), the "eldest sister" of Squad 4.
Portrait of martyr Duong Thi Xuan from an AI perspective. Experts say that artificial intelligence will rely on the basic features in the original photo, from which it will “fill in” the missing details. The highlight of this technology is that it helps preserve the character’s expressions as they were when they were alive.
Portrait of martyr Ha Thi Xanh. According to the story, she was always willing to take on any task and often took on difficult tasks. Once, when she was on leave, she invited her friends from the same unit to visit her house. This photo was also recreated from the original photo currently engraved on her tombstone in Dong Loc.
Portrait of martyr Ho Thi Cuc through the reenactment of AI technology. Ms. Cuc was the Deputy Squad Leader of the Heroic Squad 4. In July 1965, Ms. Cuc volunteered to join the Three Ready Youth. She and Ms. Vo Thi Tan were in the same unit for 3 years, and were both admitted to the Party on February 3, 1967. When she died, Ms. Cuc hid in a personal hole, so people could only find 9 girls in the tunnel. It was 3 days later that her body was found a few dozen meters away from where the other 9 girls died.
Portrait of martyr Nguyen Thi Nho. Her parents died early, and the family had only two sisters: Mien and Nho. Mien took care of Nho from a young age. When the American war became more and more fierce, Nho applied to join the Youth Volunteer Force. She died at the age of 24, before getting married.
Portrait of martyr Nguyen Thi Xuan. She joined the army in 1967. According to Mr. Le Cong Thanh, one of the project participants, recreating the portraits of the 10 heroic girls in Ha Tinh is the first step in phase 2 of the project to build the website lietsi.com - the second largest project to digitize information about martyrs in Vietnam that he and his colleagues started to implement 11 years ago.
Portrait of martyr Tran Thi Huong. Ms. Huong is the daughter of a martyr fighting against the French. Her father died in 1953 at the front, when Huong was only 4 years old. Two years later, her mother remarried, and Huong lived with her grandmother and her aunt and uncle in Dong Que hamlet, Ha Tinh town. She had a beautiful singing voice and was known as the “nightingale” of her squad and of the entire 522nd Company.
Portrait of martyr Tran Thi Rang. She was born in Tho Thuy fishing village, Duc Vinh, Duc Tho (Ha Tinh). During her childhood, she followed her parents to work as a rower on the La River. On November 3, 1967, she joined the Youth Volunteer Force. Outside of the battlefield, Rang and her sisters did math, wrote essays, practiced singing, and during breaks, teased the company commander and the bulldozer drivers. She died at the age of 18.
Portrait of martyr Vo Thi Ha. Ms. Ha was considered the “youngest” in the Squad. She died when she was only 17 years old. Ms. Ha was also the first person to be restored by the team of experts in their project.
Portrait of martyr Vo Thi Hoi. She was born into a farming family in Thien Loc commune - Can Loc, Ha Tinh, the fifth child in the family. In 1965, after finishing 7th grade, Hoi volunteered to join "Ba San Sui". Hoi only had the opportunity to visit home occasionally, she said: "The bombs were so terrible, Mom! The sound of bombs exploding, the sound of planes roaring day and night, the dust and rocks flying everywhere. But none of us were afraid. We just waited until the bombing ended and then we went out right away, so that the traffic wouldn't be stuck on the road to the South, Mom!"
