Dong Xuan Market is one of the largest traditional commercial centers in Hanoi, over 100 years old. This project is associated with the heroic feat of the capital's army and people in the early days of the resistance war against the French colonialists. The front of the relief depicts suicide soldiers holding three-pronged bombs, a symbolic image of the 60-day and night event of protecting the capital (from December 19, 1946 to February 19, 1947). Along with that are images of soldiers holding guns, workers, and women of the capital fighting side by side with soldiers protecting Hanoi. In the background are the roofs of the old town, the shape of Dong Xuan market and the old Quan Chuong gate. To commemorate and honor the heroic martyrs who fought and sacrificed for 60 days and nights to protect the capital, on the occasion of the 58th anniversary of the National Resistance Day, Hanoi City inaugurated the relief "Hanoi in Winter 1946" on December 19, 2004. The relief was cast in bronze, weighed 7 tons, was 5.7m high including the base, and 4.5m wide. On the back of the relief is an excerpt from the letter sent to the conference commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the Unification Day of the Capital's Armed Forces (January 1972) by General Vo Nguyen Giap. The monument "Determined to die for the Fatherland" at Van Xuan flower garden (Hang Dau flower garden) was inaugurated on December 22, 2004 after 90 days of construction. The monument is assembled from 34 stone blocks, with a total height of 9.7m, weighing more than 300 tons, made according to the sketch of sculptor Vu Dai Binh and painter Mai Van Ke. The front of the monument depicts a suicidal soldier holding a three-pronged bomb, ready to rush into an enemy tank, and a young woman from Hanoi calling on her compatriots to fight to protect the capital. On the back of the monument is the image of a self-defense soldier holding his gun, ready to fight. The image of a soldier holding a three-pronged bomb, ready to fight to the death, has become a symbol of the 60-day and night event of protecting the capital (from December 19, 1946 to February 19, 1947). The image of a young woman in Hanoi calling on her compatriots to fight to protect the capital and above it is the line "Determined to die so that the Fatherland can live". To commemorate the children of the capital who fell in the early days of the resistance war against France, in 1984, Hanoi built the monument "Death to the Fatherland" in the area of Hoan Kiem Lake, next to Ba Kieu Temple. Created by the late artist Kim Giao in 1984, the work depicts three characters: In the middle is a National Guard soldier holding a three-pronged bomb, on both sides are a girl wearing ao dai holding a sword and a worker sitting holding a gun. All three images are depicted with high fighting spirit, representing three forces participating in the National Resistance War in Hanoi in late 1946 and early 1947. The slogan "Determined to die for the survival of the Fatherland" on the pedestal of the monument is an excerpt from the letter of encouragement sent by Uncle Ho to the National Guard soldiers in Hanoi in the early days of the national resistance war. The Determined to Die Monument is a highly symbolic work, demonstrating the indomitable spirit and brave will of the army and people of the capital during the heroic days.
