time to fight, struggled for independence and freedom. Since in
39 AD two sisters Trung-Trac, Trung- Nhi had driven Han’s
troops out of Giao-Chi. They had proclaimed independent for
Vietnam in a short while until 43 AD.

Chinese General Ma-Yuan led the strong giant army to
extort Vietnam. The Trung sisters committed suicide by
throwing themselves into the Hat-Giang river after they lost the
last battle. After Vietnam fell back to the North Empire, Chinese
opened another domination on Vietnam with the deadly rules for
the people and continued for about nine hundred years.

Chinese Empire used Vietnamese as the slavery for the
profit, tried to devastate all the Vietnamese’s unviolated
traditions with their ambition ideal that they will use Vietnam as
a part of China.

live along with the painful suffering under the cruel Chinese
rules. They tried to hold back Vietnamese race by love, absorbed
the Chinese cultures by sharing and respected. They united to
make their synthesis in the different elements from the Chinese
customs, and their fusion spread into a common national way of
life and thought.
