The legend of To Thi in Lang Son has many different versions, however the main idea of the story is still the image of To Thi holding her child waiting for her husband in Lang Son, symbolizing the steadfast loyalty of Vietnamese women.

Legend has it that To Thi and her husband had a child. When her husband had to join the army, a haughty man in the village wanted to marry To Thi, but she refused. She did not dare to refuse and asked for a delay because she was afraid of bringing disaster upon herself.

After the storm passed, the next day, people discovered that To Thi and her child had turned into stone statues.



Standing on the mountain, looking out to the rice fields in all directions, at each time the landscape here seems to wear a different color. Sometimes it is a lush green when the rice is young, sometimes it is a brilliant yellow when the rice is ripe. Day after day, month after month, year after year, the statue of To Thi still stands tall in space, existing through time.
