At around 10:00 a.m. on March 30, 1963, the US embassy on Ham Nghi Street was hit with explosives by the F21 Commando team, collapsing three floors: 1, 2, 3, so the US decided to rebuild it.

Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks.

The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help.

In the past, I heard from the elders that the name Pirate Island was born in connection with the appearance of a pirate gang called "Black Sails" operating in this sea. They use deserted islands in the Gulf of Siam as hidden lairs. From here, pirates suddenly appeared and attacked quickly, leaving merchant ships traveling in the area unable to react in time. The money and gold they stole were brought to the island for storage. The name "Pirate" has been known since then. After the revolutionary government took over, security and defense of the vast island and sea area were maintained, residents on the island and ships operating in these waters were peaceful.

In particular, in January 2018, the People's Committee of Kien Giang province decided to recognize this archipelago as a local tourist area, creating more favorable conditions for Tien Hai commune to awaken its potential, develop tourism, and invite attraction. investment and cultural exchange, increase income, and raise the intellectual level of people on the island. Mr. Nguyen Hong Phuc, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tien Hai island commune (Ha Tien city, Kien Giang province), said: "In 2019, the economic value from the commune's aquaculture and fishing resources reached 67 billion VND. The total number of tourists in the year reached more than 71,000, thereby bringing in revenue of more than 31.5 billion VND, an increase of 14.9% compared to 2018. This is one of the important contributing areas to the revenue of the trade, service and tourism industry in 2019, reaching more than 116 billion VND. People at the front of the storm still face many difficulties and their spiritual life is still lacking. With the motto "The station is home, the border is the homeland, the people are blood brothers", in addition to the task of maintaining island security, Tien Hai Border Guard Station and Rada Station 625 have done a very good job. civil mobilization. The island's soldiers, together with the local government, took care of the material and spiritual lives of the people with many activities such as campaigning to build houses in solidarity, and providing financial support to poor students in the program "Step Up". children go to school", free medical examination and treatment for people, rice support when households encounter natural disasters or hunger...

People on the island have always lived mainly from fishing, in addition to handicrafts such as shipbuilding, processing shrimp, fish, dried squid... But the profession that once made this island famous everywhere was making fish sauce.

Islanders spread word of mouth. According to ancient legend, on top of Ma Thien Lanh there is a flat rock, with a beautiful surrounding landscape, so many fairies often come down to have fun, called San Tien, which is a testament to that story. Today, when people come here to explore, after hundreds of years, occasionally there are monks and sad people who come to San Tien to practice meditation.

Hon Phu Tu has been present on Ha Tien land (now in Binh An commune, Kien Luong district) since the mountain creation period, countless millions of years ago. The island has beautified the Ha Tien sea area with many charms. Legends and associated with this land are unforgettable historical events. Looking up historical documents, in the history books of the Nguyen Dynasty, we do not see the name Hon mentioned, only Ho Lo Mountain (Ho Lo Son), Ho Lo Cave (Ho Lo Coc) and Hon Chong (Kich Son). . It can be confirmed that Ho Lo cave is the cave where today Hai Son pagoda (Hai Son pagoda) is located, often called Hang Pagoda, and Hon Chong has been clearly located. According to the Southern Geographical Records kept at the Han Nom Institute (copy number A938), it is recorded: (Ho Lo mountain in the eastern province is forty-eight li, Chu Nhi Ly, Phong Loan Tuan Tieu, Lava Coc Tieu Bu Moc. Ha invades the coastal sea, ruins of Lang Tang, boats are inconvenient to enter and exit. Foreign country Tieu Du, Ba Dao attacked, responded like lightning). Roughly translated: Mount Ho Lo is located 48 miles east of the provincial capital, the peak is towering, the cave has no trees, the foot of the mountain is out to the sea, reefs, sand and rocks are towering, boats are not convenient to get in and out, there are There are many small islands where the waves crash creating a sound like thunder. The above passage shows us some of the scenery of the Phu Tu Island area. According to folk legend combined with historical records, when the Siamese court had a change, the two princes of Siam came to rely on the protection of Mac Thien Tich. He let these two princes reside here, after Then, when they returned to their country, these two were grateful so they donated two very large Buddha statues placed in the cave. These two Buddha statues still exist today. In the early years of the French colonial occupation of three southwestern provinces, hero Nguyen Trung Truc gathered insurgent troops stationed in this area, forming a military camp that people still call Ba Trai today. Here, a general named Kien (or Kien) killed his beloved concubine because she prevented him from joining the insurgent army. Afterwards, Nguyen Trung Truc's insurgent army proceeded to destroy Kien Giang station. During the years of French colonial rule, Hon Chong was a district where the colonial government established a port to export goods to Ha Tien province. Phu Tu Island and Cave Pagoda are quite famous tourist resorts for Cochinchina people. The reputation of Phu Tu Island started from there. After 1945, Binh An commune was the resistance base of Ha Tien province. During the resistance war against America, the mountain next to Phu Tu island (Ho Lo Son) took place many fierce battles between the Revolutionary army and the Saigon army. After the complete liberation of the South, Hon Phu Tu and Hang Pagoda attracted more and more tourists to visit the sights and the Ministry of Culture recognized the scenic cluster of Hon Phu Tu, Hang Pagoda and Hon Trem as a class-level scenic relic. nation. Binh An commune currently has a fairly complete infrastructure investment, creating favorable conditions for the tourism industry to develop. There are two notable legends passed down from ancient times about Hon Phu Tu: Legend has it that in the past, there were many bird nests in this area. A father and son from the Central region came here to take out their nests. One day, the father went to the island to remove the bird's nest and was entangled by a python. The heartbroken son went out to fight the snake to save his father, but was also killed by the python. People here bring out trees and burn them to kill snakes. There is a legend that once upon a time there was a big storm, two bodies, one old, one young, drifted to the island and were brought in by people to bury. From the above legends, the island was named Hon Phu Tu. We know that in addition to Viet Bac there is To Thi, in the Central region there is Hon Vong Phu and in this land at the end of the South there is Hon Phu Tu. Is it true that Vietnamese culture has proven the unity from North to South of our country, the fidelity of a wife waiting for her husband, and the hardship of those who make a living? Since the country's reunification, some people have fictionalized and created stories about a princess, a love affair... to attract tourists. Even though it is a later fictional story, it has been told by many people and listeners, so it blends into ancient legends, enriching the story of this scenic area.
