On the morning of February 14 (January 5, 2024), Dong Da district held a festival to celebrate the 235th anniversary of the Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da Victory (1789-2024), honoring and commemorating the great contributions of Emperor Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue and the Tay Son army who fought bravely against foreign invaders to maintain national independence.
At the ceremony, the delegates and the people reviewed the heroic history of the nation 235 years ago, when the Qing Dynasty took advantage of the chaos in Dai Viet to send the Governor-General of Liangguang, Sun Shiyi, to lead 290,000 troops to invade. Faced with "internal and external enemies", King Nguyen Hue of Bac Binh held a ceremony to inform heaven and earth, ascended the throne as Emperor, took the name Quang Trung, and immediately marched north.
With the art of rapid troop movements, skillful military tactics and the support of the people, in just 5 days, Emperor Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue and his army of cloth soldiers defeated the Qing army, recaptured the capital Thang Long, thereby defending Dai Viet from invasion, continuing the golden history of the nation's spirit of building and defending the country.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of Dong Da District People's Committee Le Tuan Dinh affirmed that the Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da Victory is an immortal heroic epic in the great history of struggle, national construction and defense of the Vietnamese people, a historical testament affirming the wonderful military art of our people.
This victory is the convergence and profound crystallization of the tradition of patriotism, love of independence and freedom; along with the spirit of solidarity, courage, and indomitable will of our people to liberate the country and maintain national independence.
According to Mr. Le Tuan Dinh, 2024 will see many important political events in the capital and the country. This is also the year the city has chosen to continue implementing the theme: "Discipline - Responsibility - Action - Creativity - Development". The Party Committee, Government and people of Dong Da district will proactively innovate, unite, be creative, overcome difficulties and challenges, and complete assigned targets and tasks.
