Truong Dinh, born in 1820 in Quang Ngai, province in Central Vietnam, got married to a southern woman in Tien Giang province in South Vietnam and settled at his wife’s native village. He was the first person to defoliate waste land in order to set up new hamlets in Tan Hoa District (now Go Cong Town). He was nominated for the post of an administrator. During the years of his resistance against the French colonial rule, he commanded the people to uprise and make the enemy terrified out of his wits.
But because of Huynh Cong Tan’s betrayal, Truong Dinh killed himself on August 20th 1864. The people buried him at Go Cong town.
