The position of Tran Hung Dao

The position of Tran Hung Dao

The position of Tran Hung Dao: The hero stands firm from the high place with his eyes looking down directly to Bach Dang wharf and points with one finger. This position was inspired by the reappearance of the third time Tran Hung Dao led the Tran dynasty to fight against Yuan and Mongol invaders. According to Thanhnien (2015), at that historic moment he pointed the finger to the Bach Dang river and said: “Phen này nếu ta không phá xong giặc Nguyên, thề không bao giờ trở lại khúc sông này nữa". This can be translated as: "If this battle does not defeat the That enemy, I swear I will not return to this riverbank again!"
