visavietnam.net.vn - The monument was built on an area of 15
hectares on the peak of Mount Cam, in the village of Phu Thanh, Tam Phu
commune, Tam Ky district, Quang Nam province, central Vietnam. It was designed
by artist Dinh Gia Thang.
The construction began in 2009. The
monument, including the major statue and eight supportive elements, is made of
granite and the image of the heroic mother is of Nguyen Thi Thu, a Vietnamese
heroic mother who passed away last December.
The total volume of granite transported from
Binh Dinh to Quang Nam to build the monument was 3,000 m3 of monolithic
granite. It weighs 20,000 tons.
The monument has a height of 18 meters, 120m
in length.
At the gate leading to the monument are
eight pillars. Each pillar is 9 m high, 1.2 m in diameter, portraying
Vietnamese heroic mothers.
In front of the monument is a lake. Around
the monument are flower beds and a stone garden engraved with poems about
heroic mothers.
Heroic mother Nguyen Thi Thu was born in
1904 in Dien Thang Trung commune, Dien Ban district, Quang Nam province. She
had nine children, one son-in-law and two grandchildren who were sacrificed in
two wars. Mother Thu’s daughter, Le Thi Tri, is also granted the heroic mother
title because her husband and two daughters are martyred soldiers.
In the garden of Mother Thu’s home, there
were five secret tunnels, where Thu and her daughter, Heroic Mother Le Thi Tri,
hid many soldiers and guerrillas.
In 1994, Mother Thu was honored as the
Heroic Mother of Vietnam. Her statue is on display at the Vietnam Military
History Museum.
