The victory, led by national hero Emperor Quang Trung (also known as national hero Nguyen Hue) and the Tay Son troops, saw the swift defeat of Qing invaders during the spring of 1789, securing the nation’s independence and leaving an enduring legacy in Vietnamese history.
Since then, the fifth day of the first lunar month has become the traditional day marking the historic victory. The Ngoc Hoi–Dong Da victory has also gone down in Vietnamese history as an immortal and epic struggle for national construction and defence.
