War Invalids and Martyrs Day, July 27 every year, is a day to pay tribute to and remember the contributions of heroes and martyrs, and is also a day for Vietnamese people to demonstrate the morality of "When drinking water, remember its source" and "When eating fruit, remember the person who planted the tree".

At the tomb of Martyr Pham Hong Thai, Vietnamese Consul General in Guangzhou Nguyen Viet Dung and all staff of the Consulate General expressed their infinite gratitude to the outstanding son of the nation who heroically sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the country.

Martyr Pham Hong Thai was born on May 14, 1895 in Hung Nhan commune, Hung Nguyen, Nghe An , and died in Guangzhou on June 19, 1924 after an assassination attempt on the Governor-General of Indochina. Although the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, it was an event that contributed to encouraging the national liberation movement.

Huanghuagang Cemetery is the burial place of 72 Chinese martyrs who died in the 1911 Xinhai Revolution. In 1925, the people of Guangzhou, impressed by the spirit of self-sacrifice for the country of martyr Pham Hong Thai, moved his grave to this cemetery.

The graves of Chinese revolutionary predecessors and martyr Pham Hong Thai are always carefully and thoughtfully protected and cared for by the government and people of Guangdong province and Guangzhou city, especially during holidays, New Year, and Qingming festival...
