Towards the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Kien An district, the People’s Committee, the Vietnam Fatherland Front in Kien An district, Hai Phong city sent a donation request letter to agencies, units, armed forces, businesses, schools, benefactors, people of Kien An’s hometown, party members, officers, officials, civil servants, and employees who join hands to build a Memorial of Heroes and Martyrs on Thien Van mountain by social capital with their gratitude and responsibilities for the sacrifices of heroes and martyrs for the national liberation, for the peaceful and happy life of the Vietnamese.
Memorial of Heroes and Martyrs in Kien An District was built and completed at the end of 1959. Over the past 60 years, it has been degraded. It is also located next to the five-way crossroads with high traffic capacity which affects the sanctity of a spiritual cultural work. Facing this situation and implementing the direction of the Party Committee Secretary of Hai Phong city, Kien An district’s leader planned to build a Memorial of Heroes and Martyrs on Thien Van mountain with an area of about 5,290 square meters and a total investment of about 30 billion VND. It is expected that the work will be implemented in 2023 and 2024 with 100% social capital.

The Party Committee has directed the Board of Rector, the Executive Committee of the Trade Union and the Youth Union of the school to mobilize from various sources. The total donation is 50 million VND.
