Commemoration of the death of General Secretary Lê Hồng Phong
Lê Hồng Phong (1902–1942), born Lê Huy Doãn, was a prominent leader of the Indochinese Communist Party during the struggle for national independence. Having undertaken revolutionary activities in China, the Soviet Union and Vietnam, he served as General Secretary from March 1935 to July 1936. In his final years, the French colonial authorities exiled him to Côn Đảo, where he endured harsh prison conditions and died on 6 September 1942, just as he turned 40.
