According to the oral traditions of the elders in Long Tuyen, Mr. and Mrs. Dua were virtuous and respected people. About 200-300 years ago, this land was still wild and full of wild animals. Mr. and Mrs. Dua were the first to come and clear the land, establish their livelihood, and build their lives. Seeing this, other villagers came to settle here and received wholehearted support and assistance from Mr. and Mrs. Dua in terms of their business practices.
