Leading the robbery of Dong Long granary
In April 1945, Ms. Nguyen Thi Uc was assigned by the Northern Party Committee to prepare for the General Uprising in Kim Dong district, Hung Yen. She actively mobilized the masses to join the Viet Minh and actively organized armed self-defense teams, organized guard patrols, practiced martial arts, prepared swords...
During this period, famine raged throughout the North. The direct cause was the consequences of the Indochina war. Along with that was a drought and crop failure that lasted from 1944 to the first half of 1945.[2]
In the face of the situation of famine raging throughout the province, despite being pregnant, in May 1945, she directly led the people of Kim Dong to revolt and rob the Japanese army's Dong Long granary (located in Kim Dong) to save hunger. Many years later, the people of Kim Dong also mentioned the image of "Viet Minh's mother was pregnant (at that time she was about to give birth to her first grandchild with Mr. Tran Tu Binh), holding a gun at her waist, shouting and commanding her countrymen to destroy Dong Long granary and relieve the famine".[3]
In November of that year, she was taken to the residence of Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tam, a revolutionary establishment in Ban Yen Nhan. On the day of labor, she was taken to the hospital and gave birth to a daughter. To mark the anniversary of her daughter following her mother throughout the days of preparing for the General Uprising in Hung Yen, she named her daughter Tran Yen Hong, which means: the red flag flies over Hung Yen. Also from that day, she chose for herself a new name - Nguyen Thi Hung - a name that stayed with her for the rest of her life.
Later, writer Ha An (1928 - 2011) penned in the historical memoir "Nang Hung Yen" about her revolutionary activities in Hung Yen (Women Publishing House, 1967). The image of "Mrs. Viet Minh with a pregnant belly" was selected by film director Tran Dac for Ms. Nhu - the main character of the historical feature film "August Star" (played by actor Thanh Tu) which won the Golden Lotus at the 4th Vietnam Film Festival (1977).[4]
Married to General Tran Tu Binh
During her time as a messenger at Inter-zone C, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hung (with the alias of Tan) was the subordinate of Mr. Tran Tu Binh[5] (Committee and Secretary of Inter-zone C). She developed feelings for him. On December 24, 1943, Mr. Binh was arrested on his way to Thai Binh; Ms. Hung continued to lead the revolutionary movement in Ha Nam province. When the Party organization discovered that there was a traitor, she was transferred to Ninh Binh and worked as the Secretary of the Provincial Personnel Committee (replacing Mr. Vu Tho who moved to another area).
Mr. Tran Tu Binh was taken by French secret police to prison in Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, Ninh Binh. At Phu Ly, he tried to escape from prison but failed. After that, he was transferred to Hoa Lo prison. After March 9, 1945 - Japan ousted France from Indochina, taking advantage of lax governance, Mr. Binh organized a successful prison break for more than 100 political prisoners to return to the movement. He directly led the movement in Quang Trung War Zone (Hoa Ninh Thanh War Zone). In Ninh Binh, he met Mrs. Hung again and the two became husband and wife.
After the August Revolution, Mr. Binh was assigned the position of Deputy Director, Political Member of the Military School of Vietnam (April 1946, renamed Truong Vo by President Ho and Tran Quoc Tuan)[citation needed]
In 1948, President Ho Chi Minh signed a decree to appoint Mr.Tran Tu Binh as a major general in the first batch of generals of the Vietnam National Army.[6]
From the end of 1950, to ensure safety in training, the Vietnamese Army School was stationed in Kunming, Yunnan, China. In early 1952, in order to "rationalize the family", Ms. Hung was sent to China to work in the Political Department as a Battalion-level Politician.
Mrs. Hung was both a comrade and an avid supporter of General Tran Tu Binh.
They had 8 children and were named after important events of the country: Yen Hong (1945), Khang Chien (1946), Thang Loi (1951), Kien Quoc (1952), Thanh Cong (1954), Friendship (1955), Hanh Phuc (1956), Viet Trung (1959).
