Inauguration of the Xuân Diệu Poet Memorial House

The poet Xuân Diệu, whose real name was Ngô Xuân Diệu (1916 - 1985), was born in his maternal hometown of Gò Bồi, Tùng Giản village, Phước Hòa commune, Tuy Phước district. His father's hometown was Trảo Nha village, Can Lộc district.

Xuan Dieu was one of the founders of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press Association (now the Vietnam Journalists Association) and a prominent figure in modern Vietnamese poetry. He left behind approximately 450 love poems, numerous short stories, essays, and literary criticisms. He is known as a romantic lyrical poet, "the newest poet among the new poets," "the king of love poetry," a highly influential figure in the New Poetry movement, and an active cultural and social activist.

Poet Xuan Dieu Memorial House

To commemorate him, the People's Committee of Tuy Phuoc District built the Xuan Dieu Poet Memorial House on the site of the poet's maternal grandparents' house in Tung Gian village, which has been in operation since 1995. After nearly 29 years of use, the memorial house deteriorated, so the People's Committee of Tuy Phuoc District invested in building a new, more spacious memorial house.

After more than 8 months of construction (starting in April 2024), the new Xuân Diệu Memorial House has been completed. The memorial house was built on the site of the old one, and the grounds were expanded to a total area of ​​720 m2. The project had a total investment of over 9.8 billion VND, funded by the district's state budget and other legal sources, with the Tuy Phước District Investment and Construction Project Management Board acting as the investor.

On this occasion, representatives from Can Loc District presented artifacts belonging to the poet Xuan Dieu for display at the memorial house.

In December 2010, the People's Committee of Binh Dinh province issued a decision classifying the Xuan Dieu Poet Memorial House as a provincial-level historical relic.
