Inauguration of Poet Xuan Dieu Memorial House

Poet Xuan Dieu's real name is Ngo Xuan Dieu (1916 - 1985), born in his maternal hometown in Go Boi, Tung Gian village, Phuoc Hoa commune, Tuy Phuoc district. His father's hometown is in Trao Nha village, Can Loc district.

Xuan Dieu was one of the founders of the Vietnam Revolutionary Press Union (now the Vietnam Journalists Association), a prominent figure in modern poetry. He left behind about 450 love poems, many short stories, memoirs, essays, and literary criticism. He is known as a lyrical romantic poet, "the newest poet among the new poets", "the king of love poetry", a great influencer in the new poetry movement, and an active cultural and social activist.

Poet Xuan Dieu Memorial House

To commemorate him, Tuy Phuoc District People's Committee built the Poet Xuan Dieu Memorial House on the foundation of the poet's grandparents' house in Tung Gian village, which was put into operation in 1995. After nearly 29 years of use, the memorial house was degraded, so Tuy Phuoc District People's Committee invested in building a new, more spacious memorial house.

After more than 8 months of construction (from April 2024), the construction of the new Poet Xuan Dieu Memorial House has been completed. The memorial house was newly built on the old foundation, and at the same time expanded the campus with a total area of ​​720 m2. The project has a total investment of more than 9.8 billion VND, from the state budget managed by the district and other legal sources, with the Tuy Phuoc District Land Fund Development and Investment Project Management Board as the investor.

On this occasion, representatives of Can Loc district presented artifacts of poet Xuan Dieu to display at the memorial house.

In December 2010, the People's Committee of Binh Dinh province decided to rank the Poet Xuan Dieu Memorial House as a provincial historical relic.
