On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of Emperor Ham Nghi’s issuance of the Can Vuong Edict (1885 - 2025) - a milestone marking the beginning of the representative patriotic movement of the late 19th century, on the morning of December 7, Hue Monuments Conservation Center organized the heritage education program “Can Vuong tremendous spirit” (“Hao khi Can Vuong”) at Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities and the Nguyen Dynasty’s Privy Council (Co Mat Vien - Tam Toa) space.

The life and patriotic activities of Mr. Phan Boi Chau are a symbol of a shining patriotic spirit, embodying loyalty and steadfast devotion to the country and the homeland.

When France concentrated troops at the Thuan An estuary (in August 1883), it was also a time when the Nguyen Dynasty was on the decline. More than 140 years after the fall of Thuan An, there are still relics, figures, and events that remind future generations of the patriotism and fighting spirit of the ancestors.

Hue, the former ancient capital, is a land with a resilient tradition of resistance against foreign invasion. Its peaceful rural outskirts, home to hardworking and loyal people, have produced many talented individuals and renowned historical figures.
