In 1954, after the country's division, millions of people left their northern homeland

              and  migrated  south.  A  large  number  settled  in  Lam  Dong,  bringing  the  number  of

              communes to 13 and the population to about 50,000 people, although people still keep
              the old habits and still remember the name of the old village. Therefore, in Bao Loc, very

              new names sound like before. The word has a northern resonance to remind it of its old
              hometown roots. Tan Thanh, Tan Hoa, Tan Bui, Tan Ha, Tan Phat ... Remember nostalgia.

              Later, there were several more Tan founded by the natives, namely Tan Rai and Tan Lac.

              If there was no dehydration in 75, Lam Dong also had Tan Long, founded by Upper
              Stieng people from Binh Long. Later, due to the battle situation, the B' Sar subdivision

              was established to maintain security from Blao Pass down to Madagouil, bordering Long

              Khánh province. All administrative matters remain subordinate to the Bao Loc district.
              The subdivision is located on a high hill in Dai Quay commune on Highway 20. In late

              March 75, the Viet Cong sent infantry and tanks from Dinh Quan to attack in broad

              daylight. The detachment, commanded by Captain Toan, held out for 6 hours.


                 I accepted the post of Prefect of Bao Loc at the end of August/68. The battlefield is still

              vibrant everywhere. From 65 the war also spread to this small plateau. A commune with
              a  very  peaceful  and  happy  name  suffers  many  misfortunes, An  Lac  commune.  This

              commune is located to the east of the county seat, across the Dai Nga bridge, in addition
              to the security perimeter, so it is subject to a double neck, National Day, and Viet Cong

              night. Although there are few people, the land is significant because of the concentration

              of tea plantations, West has, I have, and China has. Tu Quy Plantation is located far from
              the national highway, so it is abandoned where the Viet Cong often live. The An Lac

              commune was swept many times and was very negative. The chief was named Karma,

              who was associated with the commune from flourishing to its demise. He always stayed
              in the county seat, visiting the commune for a few hours daily. Insecure communes often

              have few administrative jobs!


                 In early 1973, the Paris Accords were signed between factions meeting to end the long,

              inconclusive war in Vietnam. The war dates back to 1945, with the result of splitting the
              country in half in 1954. The time when the two numbers 4 and 5 changed the throne has

              caused many people to leave the world, many bodies lying down, many souls struggling,

              and many meteor wings at the end of the sky. The night of January 27 was the last night
                                                                                                               351
