"The period of fighting with guns of Mrs. Bay Mo - the character who was renamed Mo when brought to the stage - is a typical example. She was the brave warrior who destroyed the American troops in Nhuan Duc commune, Cu Chi. Her parents were both cadres of the anti-French uprising in Xom Bung hamlet, so all 11 of her siblings participated in the resistance movement to liberate the nation from their teenage years.
She and her teammates went to see the play written about her, she was moved, transmitting emotions to the actors of the Ho Chi Minh City Drama Theater, that image was very dear and beautiful at the 1st Ho Chi Minh City Theater Festival - 2024" - Mr. Ha Quoc Cuong confided.
Mrs. Bay Mo was born in 1947. At the age of 13, she was recruited by two officers of the Intelligence Subcommittee of the Central Security Department (Security Department R) to be a secret liaison. At the age of 15, because she still had to help her father take care of the garden and her 5 younger siblings, she had to stop working at the Intelligence Subcommittee and became the Deputy Guerrilla Team Leader of Xom Bung Hamlet (Nhuan Duc Commune).
Brave and good at fighting, just 1 year later, she was promoted to Deputy Commune Team Leader, directly commanding the guerrilla force of Xom Bung hamlet.
The play was written about her passionate youth, author Ngoc Truc shared at the Script Writing Camp organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association: "I rewrote her life from the perspective of today's generation of authors, to spread the spirit of patriotism, strong will and above all, the humane spirit of the Vietnamese people."
Author Ngoc Truc was happy to meet again with Vo Thi Mo - the prototype in the script "Aspiration for Peace" that she composed to participate in the 1st Ho Chi Minh City Theater Festival - 2024
As a revolutionary soldier who had achieved many glorious feats, Mrs. Bay Mo's reputation spread throughout the war zone. The Liberation Film Studio once went to the Cu Chi battlefield to film Mrs. Bay Mo fighting on the field and made it into the film "Cu Chi Female Guerrillas".
The image of Bay Mo became a symbol of a beautiful guerrilla girl holding a gun and fighting tenaciously throughout the Southern battlefields. And on stage through the play "Thirst for Peace", the artists re-enacted that spirit, which moved her.
