Trung Hoa Cemetery (Khue Trung Cemetery)

Nghia Trung Hoa Vang relic site (also known as Khue Trung Cemetery), is currently located on an area of ​​4,000 square meters in Khue Trung ward, Cam Le district. It is the resting place of more than 1,000 martyrs and patriots who fell in the early days of resistance against the French (1858 - 1860). At dawn on September 1, 1858, the French-Spanish coalition attacked the Da Nang estuary, beginning the invasion of Vietnam. With the spirit of solidarity for the country, our army and people fought back fiercely. During nearly 19 months of fierce fighting, thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives heroically, making an important contribution to the failure of the French colonialists' attempt to quickly occupy Da Nang. Under war conditions, the gathering and burial of martyrs at that time was only temporary. When Da Nang was liberated, the people set up graves and gathered remains, building graves for soldiers who died here. Nghia Trung Hoa Vang was formed in 1866 in Nghi An village, Phuoc Tuong canton, Hoa Vang district. When the French colonialists built Da Nang airport (1925 - 1926), people had to move Nghia Trung to Ba garden in Khue Trung village. In 1962, Da Nang airport continued to expand, Nghia Trung was moved to its current location. Despite many relocations, Nghia Trung still retains the ancient stele engraved with the four words "Hoa Vang Nghia Trung" established in the 19th year of Tu Duc (1866) and two stone pillars inscribed with two parallel sentences: “The An Triem dry bones are inherited from ancient times The remnants of the soul reunited with gold." Roughly translated: “The king gave me bones to pass on old signs Keeping the remnants of my soul, I can see it now." Nghia Trung Hoa Vang is a place that preserves the sacred souls of rivers and mountains, and is a monument honoring the heroic spirit of fallen national heroes. At the same time, it is the place that marked the defeat in the first battle of the French army when attacking Da Nang. Next to Nghia Trung with more than a thousand tombs is a complex of cultural and historical relics, including: Hoa Que Tower Ruins, Ba Temple, a square Cham ancient well built of sandstone, tower ruins. Cham and the Ancient Church of Hoa Que village. In particular, the village's Ancestor Church and Ba Temple are valuable historical and cultural works, where local revolutionary cadres used them as secret locations for revolutionary activities. To commemorate the ancestors who contributed to building the village and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the early days of the resistance war against the French-Spanish coalition, every year in the third lunar month, the People's Committee of Khue Trung ward, Cam Le district solemnly organized the Martyr Sacrifice Ceremony with Khue Trung Village Association at Nghia Trung Relic Area. Nghia Trung Hoa Vang relic site was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a National Historical Site in 1999. Source: Da Nang Electronic Newspaper
