Statue of Ly Tu Trong Hanoi Vietnam
Lý Tự Trọng (20 October 1914-Saigon, 21 November 1931) was a Vietnamese revolutionary executed by the French when he was only 17 years old. He is considered to be a revolutionary martyr. His remains were identified in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City in 2010 and he was reburied in his parents home town Việt Xuyên commune of Thạch Hà district. Ly Tu Trong Street in Saigon is named after him, removing the street's original name of "Duong Gia Long", named after the 18th century Vietnamese emperor who quashed the Tay Son rebels, unified and modernized Vietnam, and weakening French influence on the country, by the previous South Vietnamese government. The street includes the former US AID building famous as the location of the helipad evacuation in 1975.
