During the resistance war against French colonialism, Co Phuong cave, Sai village, Phu Le commune was both a base and a transit point for food and weapons for our army to Upper Laos and the Northwest to serve the campaigns, so the French colonialists found every way to bombard it.

On April 2, 1953, French planes suddenly circled and dropped bombs, destroying the Sai village area. Many young volunteers and militiamen in their prime heroically sacrificed their lives while carrying out their duties of transporting food and provisions, and clearing the way for the campaigns.

At Co Phuong cave alone, bombs and bullets collapsed the cave entrance, killing 11 people from the frontline labor squad in Thieu Nguyen commune (now Thieu Hoa commune) who were taking shelter inside.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Dau Thanh Tung offered incense to commemorate martyrs who sacrificed their lives at Co Phuong cave.

Next, the delegation offered flowers and incense to the heroic martyrs resting at the martyrs' cemetery of Hoi Xuan commune. The cemetery currently has 227 martyrs' graves from the old Quan Hoa district, of which 62 graves have full information, 65 graves have partial information, and the rest are graves with unidentified identities.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Dau Thanh Tung arranged the wreath and visited the heroic martyrs resting at the martyr cemetery of Hoi Xuan commune.

With respect and infinite gratitude for the heroic sacrifices of the heroic martyrs, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Dau Thanh Tung and members of the delegation burned incense at each grave.
