At the end of 1946, the wedding of Commander-in-Chief Vo Nguyen Giap and Mrs. Dang Bich Ha was held very simply. For more than two-thirds of a century as a life partner, beside General Vo Nguyen Giap, Mrs. Dang Bich Ha silently served as a solid rear, accompanying him throughout the arduous years of war until he returned to the world of the good people.

Mrs. Dang Bich Ha and General Vo Nguyen Giap had four children together: Vo Hoa Binh, Vo Hanh Phuc, Vo Dien Bien and Vo Hong Nam.
