Prepare
to take a ride back to Ancient Vietnam where there are battles, deaths, and
great leaders! Two of these leaders were the Trung sisters.
The Trung sisters Trung Trace and Trung Nhi were the daughters of Vietnamese
Lord. Trung Trac husband (a powerful lord) was killed under the order
of a Chinese governor Chiao Chi. When this happened the sisters formed
rebellion. They got 80,000 men and women to fight, 24 women were generals
including their mother. The reason for rebellion was because of taxes the
Chinese enforced.
Unfortunately the sisters committed
suicide. It is said that the sisters committed suicide by drowning
themselves in a river. Other people say ''they rose into the clouds'' (
jumped off a building). The sisters death tragic sonly after the death of
the Trung sisters their campaign was lost.
