Ms. Que BanhVõ Thị Sáu (1933 – 23 January 1952) was a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnamese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vietnamese</a> schoolgirl who fought as a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/guerrilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> against the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FrenchOccupiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrenchOccupiers</a> of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Vietnam</a>, then part of French <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Indochina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indochina</a>. She was captured, tried, convicted & executed by the French <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colonialists</a> in 1952. She was the first woman to be executed at Côn Sơn Prison. Vo Thi Sau was no ordinary schoolgirl. She was just 14 when she tossed a grenade at a group of French soldiers, killing one & injuring 12 before escaping into a crowded market. A few years later, in 1952 aged just 19, she was executed by a French firing squad. Minutes before her death, a priest asked if she wanted to confess & she simply replied: “I only regret not finishing destroying all the colonists and people who betrayed this nation.” She then demanded her captors take off her blindfold: “No need to cover my eyes, I want to look at this beloved country for the last time and I have the courage to look directly at your muzzle.” She refused to kneel & calmly sang “Tien Quan Ca,” the then national anthem of North Vietnam, before she was shot dead. Her last words were reportedly “Down with the French Colonialists, long-lasting independence Vietnam, long-live President Ho.” Bold & fearless, Sau has been seen as a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/heroine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#heroine</a> & <a href="https://beige.party/tags/martyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#martyr</a>, beloved by her country ever since.<a href="https://chaohanoi.com/2020/04/21/vietnamese-schoolgirl-revolutionary-fighter/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://chaohanoi.com/2020/04/21/vietnamese-schoolgirl-revolutionary-fighter/</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsianMastodon</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnamHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VietnamHistory</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/WomenOfTheResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WomenOfTheResistance</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BadassAsianWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BadassAsianWomen</a>
