Next to the entrance to the famous Meo King's residence in the Dong
Van stone plateau, there is a tomb built of stone in the ancient style of
the H'Mong people in the area.
It is the resting place of Meo (H'mong) King Vuong Chi Sinh (1886 - 1962),
the most powerful figure in Ha Giang in the 1930s - 1940s.
The tombstone of Meo King has his name Vuong Chi Thanh and the title of National Assembly Representative of the 1st and 2nd National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This is the name Ho Chi Minh called Vuong Chi Sinh after becoming sworn brothers with him. The tomb also has the inscription "Tan trung bao quoc, but thu no le", meaning Be loyal to your country and never accept slavery. This inscription was engraved on the sword Ho Chi Minh gave to Meo King.
After the success of the August Revolution, Meo King Vuong Chi Sinh devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. At the first National Assembly of Vietnam in 1946, he was honored to be elected as a National Assembly representative. As a person with a great voice, he propagated and mobilized the people of Ha Giang to wholeheartedly follow the new government, abolish backward customs, and live a sedentary life.
Next to the tomb of the Meo King Vuong Chi Sinh is the tomb of his third wife, Mrs. Truong My Thuan.
According to the story, Mrs. Truong My Thuan was a beautiful Hanoi woman. During a business trip, upon their first meeting, Vuong Chi Sinh immediately fell in love with her and married her.
To express his love for his wife, Vuong Chi Sinh also invited her mother to live with him. Although she was only the third wife, Mrs. Truong My Thuan had great power. No servant in the house dared to disobey her command. Every order she gave was considered Vuong Chi Sinh's.
In 1945, when Vuong Chi Sinh went to Hanoi, it was Mrs. Truong My Thuan who followed Vuong Chi Sinh and witnessed her husband becoming sworn brothers with Uncle Ho...
