"The Legend of Yet Kieu" recreates the glorious feat of national hero Pham Huu The (Yet Kieu), a talented general under the Tran Dynasty, famous for his excellent swimming and diving skills in battles against the invading Yuan army.

Mr. Yet Kieu - Pham Huu The (1224-1303) - from Ha Bi village, Gia Loc district, Hai Duong province, was a talented general under the Tran dynasty. In battles, Yet Kieu was assigned by King Tran Nhan Tong and General Tran Hung Dao to destroy the Yuan navy.

The play not only recreates the feats of Yet Kieu and the soldiers of the Tran Dynasty, but also brings profound lessons about courage, sacrifice and fighting spirit against foreign invaders, for the independence and freedom of the country.
