Ms. Que BanhFor 22,000 <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnamese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vietnamese</a> & some <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cambodians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cambodians</a>, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/C%C3%B4nS%C6%A1n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CônSơn</a> Island was literally the last stop on a journey that began with their arrest & incarceration on the mainland. Their crime? Resisting <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ForeignInvaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForeignInvaders</a> du jour & fighting for their country’s independence & unification. In addition to execution, causes of death included disease & torture.The French built the Côn Đảo prison complex in 1861 to hold <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliticalPrisoners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PoliticalPrisoners</a> and handed it over to the South Vietnamese government in 1954. It was a political Alcatraz on steroids, with <a href="https://beige.party/tags/inhumane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inhumane</a> living conditions, barbaric torture methods, no escape and, for many, no survival. The US & its client state collaborators honed this hell on Earth to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/dystopian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dystopian</a> perfection.Sáu was sent to 3 jails before being shipped to Côn Sơn Prison, because the French didn’t have the courage to carry out her death sentence on the mainland at a time when it was against <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ColonialLaw</a> to execute woman. She was the only female prisoner held by the French on Côn Sơn. Like other Vietnamese who died for the cause of independence, Sáu, a national heroine who is celebrated in theater & song, was elevated to the status of ancestral spirit. Every Vietnamese city & town has a street named after her, as are many schools. She embodies the spirit of millions of Vietnamese throughout history, including soldiers of the First & Second Indochina War, who sacrificed everything, their youth, their health, their love, their personal happiness, & their lives, so that Vietnam could become a unified, sovereign nation.“The lekima flower in full bloom, we are reminded of a heroine who died for future generations. The young lady so full of vitality fought against our enemies with firm spirit & even death could not force her to yield”. The song echoes in the mind of everybody who visits Hàng Dương cemetary in Côn Đảo district, Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. Vo Thi Sau, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/heroine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#heroine</a> mentioned in the song, was <a href="https://beige.party/tags/executed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#executed</a> by the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#French</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colonialists</a> at the foot of Chua mountain in the early morning of January 23, 1952. 60 years later, her immortal patriotism & sacrifice still shine in the heart of every Vietnamese person, particularly those who live on <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ConDao" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConDao</a> island, once called “hell on the earth”. (Ref: VOVWorld)The 20-hectare Hàng Dương cemetery holds the graves of more than 20,000 martyrs, including <a href="https://beige.party/tags/revolutionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#revolutionary</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/martyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#martyr</a> Lê Hồng Phong, patriot Nguyễn An Ninh & <a href="https://beige.party/tags/hero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hero</a> Cao Văn Ngọc. Visitors are moved to see grave after grave, some named, some unnamed, stretching over the hill. Vo Thi Sau’s grave, set in gravel & soil shoveled by her fellow prisoners, lies in section B.Sister Sau was already a legend when the ship carrying her docked at Con Dao island in 1952. At the execution, she refused to be blindfolded, wanting to admire the motherland’s landscape & sing until her last breath. Many families on Con Dao island have set up altars to worship sister Sau, whose legend has become eternal in Vietnamese hearts.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsianMastodon</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vietnam</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseRevolutionaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VietnameseRevolutionaries</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ColonialResistance</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Communist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Communist</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VietnameseHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsianHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SouthEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SouthEastAsia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Viet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Viet</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Geopolitics</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USWarOnVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USWarOnVietnam</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LongLiveVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LongLiveVietnam</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VietnameseSovereignty</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LearnHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TootSEA</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USfundedTorture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USfundedTorture</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WomenOfTheResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WomenOfTheResistance</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USTerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USTerrorism</a>

Sweet Home Alaberta 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇲🇽Indigenous folk need to get their children back from the deadly endless failures of the colonial system, but that still leaves the deadly endless failures of the colonial system harming Canadians.
