Steel Wire Column Historical Site

Steel wire column relic in Long Thuan hamlet, Long Dien A commune, Cho Moi district, An Giang province. The steel wire pole was built by the French colonialists at the end of the 19th century, as a communication system connecting the two communes of Long Dien and Tan My, located next to a branch of the Tien River. The column body is made from 4 steel pillars, linked together to form a tower with a square top, with a total height of more than 30m, very solid. Each (L) shaped steel leg is irregularly connected, about 1.5m apart. The column has a surrounding stone pedestal, located in the middle of the main gate to the relic site. The relic area has an area of ​​about 3,000 square meters. In addition to the large campus for celebrating anniversaries or events, inside there is also a traditional house, preserving objects and images of local leaders and people. On February 3, 1930, the Communist Party of Vietnam was born on the basis of unifying three Party organizations in our country, under the chairmanship of comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc (Ho Chi Minh). The Party was born as a halo illuminating the path for the Vietnamese revolution, campaigning to attract the masses to become enlightened and follow the Party's revolutionary path. In An Giang, the province has chosen Cho Moi as an organizational development point. From here, the first Party cell was also established in Long Dien commune in April 1930. Initially there were 3 comrades: Luu Kim Phong, Bui Trung Pham and Doan Thanh Thuy. In order to strongly develop the grassroots, the comrades have gone deeply into mobilizing the masses and craftsmen. To bypass the henchmen and colonialists and take advantage of the football movement at My Long Stadium (Long Dien commune), the comrades secretly passed it on to each other to widely propagate the Communist Party. Congratulations on the formation of the first Party cell of An Giang province, a Party flag was hung on top of a steel wire pole, but was soon taken down by the French colonialists. A few days later, the second Party flag was hung up in the dead of night. The next morning, the red flag "hammer and sickle" fluttered like "Aura on the Tien River", making the enemy angry and afraid, and the people extremely excited. From here, the Steel Wire Pole is the location where our Party gathered the masses to protest twice. Many Party cells were also established and led the people to fight for many victories. The relic site still preserves a number of traditional household objects. With milestones in the movement for independence, the Steel Wire Pole became a typical revolutionary historical site and was decided to recognize by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a historical-cultural relic. national level on January 9, 1990.
