911: Lady Triệu

Vietnamese Warrior who Fended Off the Chinese

Born: c.222-245 AD, Present-day Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam

Died: 248 AD, Present-day Tung Mountain, Vietnam

Also Known As: Triệu Thị Trinh, Triệu Ẩu, or Bà Triệu

Closest English Sound Translation: “Jeu Tea Gin/Chin”

Lady Triệu’s given name at birth is unknown.

She is sometimes referred to as the Vietnamese Joan of Arc by Western scholars.

To those unaware, the treatment of the Vietnamese at the hands of the Chinese was horrible, went on for literally hundreds of years, and led to several standout characters from Vietnamese history who dared to fight back.

Gandhiji's struggle bore fruit and in 1914 in an agreement between Gandhiji and South African Government, the main Indian demands were conceded.

           Gandhiji returned to India in 1915 and on the advice of his political guru Gopal Krishna Gokhale, spent the first year touring throughout the country to know the
real India.

She was also given the title “Truest and Bravest First Lady”, the highest title that can be bestowed in her country.

Lady Trieu (Ba Trieu), also known as Trieu Thi Trinh and Trieu Au, was born around the year 225 in northern Vietnam.

There are many versions of Lady Trieu’s childhood, but they all agree that she was orphaned at a young age and was raised by her brother.

While the young girl was in her brother’s care, China ramped up its campaign of suppression against local Vietnamese leaders in an attempt to assimilate Vietnam into the Kingdom of Wu. By the time Lady Trieu was nineteen (around 244, if her birth date is accurate), she left the home of her brother to raise a sizable army to resist the Chinese.

The disgruntled Vietnamese population proved to be a valuable pool of manpower for Lady Trieu.

Gandhiji returned to
Rajkot but here also he could not make much headway.

           In 1921, Gandhji gave the call for Non-cooperation movement against the ills of British rule. India attained independence but Jinnah's intransigence
resulted in the partition of the country. She was defeated in battle in 248 and died either a warrior’s death or by suicide.
