Artist Dinh Toan said his childhood was closely associated with the Lang Ong Ba Chieu area because his house was in Binh Thanh district.

Since childhood, he has been able to visit Lang Ong with his parents during Tet holidays, feeling the sacredness and watching the art of hát bội performed at the Lang. When he grew up, he read many documents and history books about him, so in his mind he was a talented general, a general who loved his people very much.

"All the actors deeply felt their roles. Personally, I felt nervous and tense. Because, reading history books about his life and his achievements, I saw how great he was. Therefore, we were even more worried, and told ourselves to be more careful and cautious when making this work" - actor Dinh Toan shared.

Ta Quan Duyet was one of the talented generals and military advisors who made great contributions to the Nguyen Dynasty. He served under two kings, King Gia Long and King Minh Mang.

However, in 1835, under the reign of King Minh Mang, a rebellion broke out in Phien An. After his death, King Minh Mang ordered the leveling of his tomb and erected a stone stele with the eight words "Quyen yem Le Van Duyet phuc phap xu" (the place where the eunuch Le Van Duyet was punished).

It was not until the reign of King Thieu Tri (1841) that his name was cleared, the stone pillar was removed, and his tomb was rebuilt higher and wider.
