The statue of General Tran Nguyen Han will be given to the Management Board of the National Historical and Cultural Park for preservation and conservation.
Tran Nguyen Han was a talented general, serving King Le Loi. He joined the Lam Son Uprising against the Chinese Ming forces and was victorious in many battles.
National hero Le Loi, posthumously known by his temple name Le Thai To - the founder of the Le so Dynasty (1428 – 1527), had made outstanding contributions to building and protecting the country. He launched the Lam Son Uprising in 1418 and it came to success in 1427, after 10 years of countless hardships and many resounding victories, forcing the Ming invaders to retreat.
On the 15th day of the fourth lunar month in 1428, Le Loi came to the throne under the name Thuan Thien at Kinh Thien Palace in Dong Quan Fortress (now Hanoi) and renamed the country Dai Viet, a name used to exist from 1054 to 1400.
